Leather Patch Shapes

Many of the self-adhesive and iron-on patches on the market today are available in a variety of shapes.  These are especially appealing as they make the process of repairing an unusually shaped area not so much of a chore.

Leather Patch Machine

A leather patch machine is typically an industrial single needle lockstitch in the same vein as a sewing machine.  However, this type of machine is designed to handle thicker materials and can sew and repair such items as shoes, boots, bags, and even round items.

How To Make Custom Leather Patches

The two most convenient methods of making a custom leather patch are constructing the patch yourself or having it done by a manufacturing company.

If you choose to make the patch yourself, unless you have an embroidery machine, the best route is constructing it out of leather.

You can either emboss the leather or be a little more decorative and engrave the leather.  Either way will work, and it just depends on the look you are going for.
