Why we picked it
Josh from Melco's applications team demonstrates making custom patches with the appliqué method, in which a piece of fabric forms part of the design instead of the whole patch being filled with stitches. A short, practical demo for shops that want to produce patches in-house for teams, clubs or uniforms. It was originally streamed live.
