HPI EMBLEM Custom Embroidered Patches vs. Direct Embroidery

For a start, direct embroidery leads to damage in a way that embroidered patches do not. You may get puckering, fraying and various other issues with direct embroidery. A patch will not have issues such as this, and if they do, they can easily be replaced.

Direct embroidery may have gaps in the design due to wear and tear. An embroidered patch - in the unlikely event of damage - can be replaced.

If you have items of clothing that are themselves damaged, an embroidered patch can be a great way to cover up fraying on the original clothing, reducing the need to change your wardrobe, while making a great fashion statement of whatever kind. Collectible patches of all kinds are very popular. Embroidered patches can look a little retro, or they can look state of the art - it all depends on the patches you choose to adorn your wardrobe.

Embroidered patches can be applied on any area of the clothing - sure, they're great for the arms of jackets and for caps, but they can literally be placed anywhere. Their versatility is one of their major pluses.

Even if there is a high stitch count when it comes to embroidered patches, direct embroidery high stitch counts will actually be more expensive.

Embroidered patches can actually stand out - literally. Because they're placed above the clothing rather than as part of the stitching, they have a three dimensional texture that can help draw the eye to them. They're an attractive, collectible, eye catching, or subtle fashion statement - all great reasons to get them.
