Patches

All of them are supposed to iron on. There are specific directions you need to follow though. (Heat area first, use press cloth, then iron backside...)

If all else fails, I was at Michael's today looking in their small sewing section. They sell some sort of adhesive specifically for patches/badges. I can't recall what it was called, but there were 5 sheets and it seemed like it was a peel, stick, and press. (It was around the Heat and Bond if that helps.)

My mom had her dry cleaning lady do mine :)

The tailor down the street charges $1.00 a patch. In listening to all the other moms, there isn't a good product out there yet.

I sew my daughter's patches on with a machine. I use clear plastic thread on the top of the patch and regular colored thread in the bobbin. The clear thread allows me to sew any color patch on easily. As long as you don't iron the patch (and melt the thread), it stays really well.

There is some stuff you can get at the Girlscout stor that you cut out the same shape as the patch, its like an adhesive and then I believe you go over it with an iron. I used it a couple of years ago for my daughter's patches. I'd call the DS store and ask them. Good luck

I've heard of Badge Magic. I'm told its sold at Walmart and maybe craft stores like Michael's. Someone gave me a piece and it worked perfectly.

Yea, I've always heard of them being ironed on too.... In fact, I've heard one troop mom brings an iron to the meetings to iron on everyone's badges at the same time, so they don't get lost or whatever.

They aren't iron on like the boy scouts ones?? My sons patches have all been iron on for scouts so I'm not real sure. I guess you could just needle/thread them on yourself, time consuming, but they'll be on real good:)

I've tried ironing them on, sewing them on and gluing too. What I've found works best is taking them to the dry cleaner and paying them to do it. Large patches (karate uniform) are $5.00 each and smaller ones (girl scouts and boy scouts) are less.
