Ways to Apply Embroidered Patches to Hats

No one likes to wear dull clothes accompanying fashion accessories that do not have an appeal. We can apply embroidered patches to your hats to make them fashionable and appealing. These patches can be in the form of custom-made embroidered pieces, logos, or any other symbol. 

Applying embroidered patches to hats can give them a new look, making them look unique and customized. Your hat will not be like any ordinary headpiece that you find in the aisle at the retail store. Instead, they will be fitting, according to your personality and style. 

Custom patches make your hat a wearable fashion piece that is artful and agrees to your taste. In this article, we are going to guide you on how to apply embroidery patches to hats to make them personalized. 


Pre-requisites

There are several actions you must do before you begin applying embroidery patches to hats. You must have an embroidery patch at hand that you wish to affix to the hat. You can either make it at home according to your liking or buy it from the local crafts store.

Select a hat to which you want to apply the embroidery patch. You can follow the manufacturer’s instructions to make sure that the hat will not be damaged from being exposed to heat. 

You must have a hot glue gun, iron, and a needle box with them before beginning attaching the embroidered patch to the hat. 

There are three different ways to attach embroidery patches to hats. Let’s take a look at them. 


1.   Hot Iron Method

Get your materials ready and begin with the process of applying embroidered patches to hats. 

·        Place your hat on a heat-resistant surface. 

·        Put the embroidery patch you have selected on the place where you want it done.

·        Turn on your iron to its highest setting.

·        Position a paper towel on top of the patch. In the meantime, be careful not to misplace the embroidery patch. Press the hot iron firmly on top of the patch for a maximum of 20 seconds. 

·        Remove the iron and let the embroidered patch cool down. 

·        The adhesive on the back of the embroidered patch will melt and stick to the hat.

·        Your customized hat is ready to use. 


2.   Glue Gun Method

This method allows you to permanently affix the embroidered patch to your hat by using a hot glue gun. 

·        Apply hot glue with the help of a hot glue gun to the backside of your desired embroidered patch. 

·        Place it firmly on the place you want the patch to stick on the hat.

·        Wait for the glue to dry, and use the hat anyway you want.

·        We suggest you not wash the hat too frequently to avoid the patch being removed. 

3.   Sew-on Method

This method allows you to sew embroidered patches on your hat using a needle and thread. 

·        You can either stitch it by hand or use a sewing machine. 

·        Place the embroidered patch on the position where you prefer it to be. Stitch the design on top of your hat. 

·        You can use blanket stitch and use an appropriate color of thread for sewing. 

Final Word

All of these methods of applying embroidered patches to your hat are fairly easy and quick. You can make any hat into your fashion accessory in almost no time and effort. You can use any of these techniques to customize hats in this way.
