Frequently asked questions

Everything about ordering, production, delivery and care. Cannot find your answer? Contact the studio, we reply within the business day.

Orders

How do I place an order?

Design a patch in the Patch Studio and add it to your cart, or send your artwork through the contacts page. You always approve a preview before production starts.

Is there a minimum order?

No minimum for standard patches. Volume pricing starts at 25 pieces and the unit price drops further at 50, 100 and 250.

Can I change or cancel an order?

Yes, free of charge any time before you approve the preview and production begins. After stitching starts, changes are no longer possible.

Shipping

How long does delivery take?

Most orders ship within 5 to 9 business days after you approve the preview. You receive a tracking number by email as soon as it ships.

Where do you ship?

Across the United States with USPS and UPS. International shipping is available on request, contact us before ordering.

How much is shipping?

Shipping is calculated at checkout based on destination and weight, with tracking included on every order.

Returns and exchange

Can I return a custom item?

Custom pieces are made specifically for you, so we cannot accept change-of-mind returns. That is why every order includes a preview approval step.

What if my order is defective or wrong?

If your order arrives damaged or does not match the approved preview, write to us within 14 days with photos and we remake it at no cost or refund it.

Custom orders

How do custom orders work?

Send your artwork or a description, we digitize it, you approve a preview, and we stitch it. See the custom order page for the full four-step flow.

What file formats do you accept?

Vector or high-resolution artwork works best (AI, EPS, PDF, SVG or a large PNG). No file? Describe what you need and we will help.

Can you match my brand colors?

We pick thread colors as close as possible to your palette and confirm them on the preview before production.

Payment

What payment methods do you accept?

Card, Apple Pay and PayPal. Corporate and wholesale orders can be arranged on invoice.

When am I charged?

At checkout for standard orders. Large custom runs may be split into a deposit and a balance, agreed in advance.

Is payment secure?

Card details are handled entirely by the payment provider over an encrypted connection. We never see or store your card number.

Design and proofs

Can I design my own patch?

Yes. The Patch Studio lets you draw a patch, set size, backing and border, and see a live price. Save it to your account or add it straight to the cart.

Will I see a preview before production?

Always. Nothing is stitched until you approve the preview, so the final piece matches what you signed off on.

What is digitizing?

Digitizing converts your artwork into a stitch file the embroidery machine follows, so lines, fills and small text come out clean and durable.

Patch care

How do I attach a patch?

Depending on the backing you chose: sew-on for the most durable hold, iron-on for a quick fix, or hook-and-loop (Velcro) for a swappable patch.

How do I wash and care for patches?

Wash the garment inside out in cool water on a gentle cycle, skip bleach, and iron from the reverse side through a cloth. Iron-on patches last longer with a few securing stitches.

Embroidery care

How do I care for embroidered garments?

Turn the garment inside out, wash cool on a gentle cycle without bleach, and iron on the reverse. Avoid high-heat tumble drying to keep the threads crisp.

Will the embroidery last?

Yes. Our stitching is dense and durable; following the care steps keeps colors bright and the design intact for years of regular wear.
