Embroidery patch

Introduction

This page will include some tips and technology for creating removable badges.

Badges can be made with embroidery or simple "iron on" techniques.

Technology

So, far we did not find a perfect solution for badges that could stick to ordinary cloth and then be removed.

Velrco pads

• Sew velcro pads on the fabrics (works well, but is intrusive)

Glue

• Use a non permanent glue (spray)

Double coated tape

Removable double coated fabric tape, e.g.

• ?

Single sided fabric tape

• Scotch™ Removable Fabric Tape

This must be glued on the none sticky side to the fabric. Probably a bad solution since the sticky glue will wear out after a while.

There are removable double sided tapes that are not specifically made for fabrics.

• Scrapbooking tape
• 3M 238 Removable Double Sided Tape

One variant has assymetric tack. The removable sides has low or medium tack and the other side is strong

• 3M 9425 Removable Repositionable Tape
• 3M Scotch 9415PC Removable Repositionable Tape

These probably do not work for textiles.

Permanent

Fixing a badge permanently is easy, either by (1) sewing it on to the cloths or (2) by using some "badge magic" double-sided tape, hemming tape, glue, tape to iron on, etc.
