What do you need

1 Wash, dry and iron your uniform before starting work. If you have it new, wash and dry it at least once before sewing, otherwise the fabric will struggle after the first wash and dry cycle. It will be nice to iron the place of the future patch before you start sewing it on.

2 Take a sewing needle and thread. Choose a thread that is the same color as the shape or edging of the patch.

3 Determine where the patch will be.

4 After pinning the patch with sewing safety pins, try on the shape to check if it is correctly positioned. It's good if someone else is around to help you make sure of this.

5 Use safety pins to attach the patch the way you want.

6 Cut off some of the thread. If you are new to sewing, start with a piece of thread no longer than 45 cm. Long threads are easier to tangle and harder to work with than short ones.

7 Pull the thread through the needle and tie a knot at the end of the thread.

8 Stick a needle into the shape below the patch to sew the first stitch. It should be positioned so that the ends of the thread behind the knot are hidden under the patch and do not appear. Take a look at the picture below.

9 Insert the needle from the inside of the uniform by grabbing the edge of the patch. Stick the needle back into the mold, backing off 6 mm. You have made your first stitch; then things will go easier!

10 Continue sewing along the edge of the patch, sewing it onto the shape. Pull out the safety pins.

11 When you have sewn on all sides of the patch, knot the thread and pull it between the shape and the patch. Cut the thread, stepping back 1 cm from the knot. Thread the ends of the thread under the patch.

12 Ready!

Tips

As the kids grow up, teach them how to make their own patches. This is a useful skill, similar to sewing on a button. Plus, it gives them the chance to learn the details of their uniforms and be proud of the insignia they've earned.
If poking through the shape and patch is difficult due to their thickness, use a thimble to protect your fingers.
The ironed and sewn on patch looks good for many years, even after hundreds of washes.
You may find it easier to use hot melt tape instead of sewing on the patch (see "How to Attach a Patch Using Hot Glue Tape").
If the patch is wrinkled by the pins, you can temporarily staple the patch to make it easier to sew, and then remove the staples.Hot glue tape can also be used to bast over a patch while you are not sewing it on with a typewriter.
You can use the sewing machine to sew on the patch if the patch fits under the sewing machine's foot. The color of the upper thread should match the edge of the patch, and the bobbin thread in the hook should match the wrong side of the fabric.
A glove or leather needle is a great tool for sewing on a patch.

Warnings

If you just iron the tape and don’t sew on the patch, over time it will lag behind your clothes. Depending on what you are doing in the uniform, the patch may catch on sharp edges or branches, and by sewing it on, you will more securely attach the patch to the uniform.
Many enterprises now produce such patches that are attached when ironed with a hot iron; Before sewing on the patch by hand, you can check if you have such a patch.
