Tips for a better-looking patch
- Leave breathing room. Logos look best when they fill about 80% of the patch, not edge to edge.
- Check small text. If words are hard to read in the preview, they will be hard to stitch — consider woven or a larger size. See the artwork guide.
- Contrast matters. A light patch on a dark cap (or the reverse) reads from across a room.
- Border choice. Merrow suits circles, squares and rectangles; heat-cut and laser-cut suit custom shapes — see patch borders explained.
