Merrowed border is named after the sewing machine brands that created it. The Merrowed Border is based on a clean and simple design, adding a touch of elegance to the custom-made patches.

A merrowed border is a wonderful option for custom clothing patches that are shaped into a circle, rectangle, square, or triangle.

The merrowed border option will give your custom patches a finished, polished look. This border is 1/8″ and overlaps the patch edge; this option also prevents unwanted frayed edges. This option will give your patch durability.

There is no sewn border on these patches, and it depends on the look and feel you want them to have. This option is ideal for custom embroidered patches that have an intricate shape. We cut the emblem as close as possible to the edge. This option really makes your custom patches come to life; in a word, a laser-cut border makes your patches their custom shape.

Hot cut patches, unlike standard rounded edge patches, feature sharp, detailed edges. Heat Cut Border is a good idea if you want your patch to have fine detail and sophisticated design features. This satin border is 1/6″ stitch going around the edge of the patch. This option is completely different than the merrowed border because it does not overlock the patch’ s edge. We offer this backing option free of charge.

2: The heat cut border does not become fluffy or scattered when used.

The disadvantage of a heat-cut border
