Craftsmanship
The details make the difference.
- Thread direction
- Stitch angles are set so shapes read clearly and catch light.
- Stitch density
- Dense enough to cover, never so dense the patch stiffens or puckers.
- Clean borders
- Even merrowed edges and sealed heat-cut outlines.
- Color accuracy
- Thread and materials matched to your artwork and confirmed on your proof.
- Material choice
- The right base, thread and backing for how the patch will be used.
- Finishing
- Trimmed threads, even backing and a flat, clean finish.
