There is a distinct difference in the look of an embroidery patch to a woven patch. We creat the weave of a woven patch with a much thinner thread. Just similar to the thread used for a woven label. The thinner thread enables a tighter weave so there can be more detail in the artwork. It provides cleaner lines and a flatter appearance, closer to a printed look. The thickness of the patch is also more streamlined and thin.
The stitches of embroidery patches are more densely with a heavier embroidery thread, the threads make the patch feel thicker also gives off a certain lift and higher three-dimensional look. This is a great option if you don’t have a lot of text or detail on your patch and would like the overall classic look of an embroidered patch.
