My Fave Printers
United States
My partner handles the more complicated stuff so I don't have to (once I'm done designing) - and ships apparel directly to you! Printing on demand cuts down on waste significantly, so I love working with someone that can print as-needed for me.

Frequently asked questions
How long do patches & stickers take to ship?
Once items are sent - the shipping window can be anywhere from 5-10 business days depending on your location. All patches & stickers (not purchased with a larger item) are sent with Forever stamps. (Shipping otherwise ends up costing around the same as the item itself & I want to keep things are reasonable as possible for everyone.)
If you would like your order to be tracked (& sent First-Class for an additional cost) please select “Upgraded shipping for patches & stickers” at checkout. I very rarely lose stamped orders, but I understand the anxiety.
If you're worried that your patch or sticker order has gotten lost - please send me a message! (I typically start to worry after two weeks since the shipping date, too.)
Why broadcloth patches?
Broadcloth is considered a medium-weight fabric - but when we’re used to canvas patches it can be a bit of a shock to have a much lighter patch in hand. Overall - the weight & smoother weave of broadcloth allows me to get clearer, & more detailed images when I’m screen printing than canvas does & the outcome is consistent. I’ve been making patches (on various fabrics, with various methods) since high school & my current patches offer a happy medium between detail & durability.
Because broadcloth is relatively lightweight, it ALSO doesn’t add too much bulk to projects without sacrificing the quality of the patches themselves. (Yes, they will survive the wash & general wear & tear!)
Are your patches iron on? Are they embroidered?
Nope! Patches are screenprinted with waterproof ink & meant tov be sewn on - with unsealed edges so you can trim them down & use them however you'd like.
I've used products like Stitch Witchery in the past on my own projects to help tack patches down before machine sewing if you need to iron them on some way yourself, but I don't add an iron on backing to them.
