Patches: The Ultimate Guide - Culture Studio (2024)

Patches are great when you want to embrace the embroidery look but your artwork involves a large surface area of colors or more intricate designs. Instead of thousands of stitches to fill in a solid object, patches cut down on costly stitch count and reduce the pull on a garment. Not to mention, you can order a large quantity of patches to get a better price and apply the patches to multiple different garment options.
