Tips for designing a flawless embroidered patch
Use solid shapes
Create text, logo, or simple graphic designs with smooth lines and solid shapes. Avoid tiny or complicated details, such as small letters, photos, gradients, blend effects, etc.
Check your line thickness
Make sure the threads look the way you want:
- To get the regular satin stitch, create 0.05″ (1.3 mm) to 0.5″ (12.5 mm) thick designs
- For tatami stitch, your design shapes need to be thicker than 0.5″ (12.5 mm)
- To achieve the run stitch (a single line of stitches), create lines thinner than 0.05″ (1.3 mm)
See what your stitches will look like in our Embroidery Guidelines.

Have your design file prepped for embroidery
Before we can embroider your design, it needs to be digitised, or, in other words, turned into a file that our embroidery machines can read. Digitisation requires a one-time fee for each new design, after which you can re-use it on any embroidery-friendly Printful product.
The digitisation fee depends on your design type and placement.

Frequently asked questions
Custom patch fulfilment takes 2–5 business days and shipping can take anywhere between 2–6 business days.
You can let your customers choose the method most suitable for their fabric—iron-on, sew-on, or attached with safety pins.
The patch adhesive is not made to withstand frequent washing, but it can stay in place for about 25 washes. We suggest using the iron-on method for items like jackets, jeans, bags, and other sturdy materials.
Each patch costs £7.50, and the one-file digitization fee is £4.95. Note that you have to get every embroidery file digitised for a one-time fee, after which you can re-use it on any embroidery-friendly Printful product. Your file will be automatically digitised once you place an order or push the product to your store.
