I now have access to an awesome new sewing machine that can be used for making patches.

As long as you have a good enough res pic, or if you/I can make it in Photoshop, it can be made into a patch.

Price is $5 for up to 5x5 inch patches. Iron-On backing can be added for a little more.
US Shipping is $2

IMPORTANT!
Please send me this info via PM when you are oprdering.

Patch size: max is 5 in x 5 in
ref image(s): the more you have the better. and Please send images as high res as you can. I have to recreate the images in Photoshop and need to be able to see what I am working with.

I'll be going, star-point-up, of course :-)

I decided to just go for it... I'm getting a run of both full color and subdued patches done.

I'm having them done in two color schemes, the normal Green / Yellow Stripes / Blue Star design, and a "subdued" color scheme designed to go with Multicam (medium camo-ish green / tan stripes / brown star). Multicam is a the camo scheme that the US Army seems to be moving towards (new uniform for Afghanistan), and has been popular for quite a while with other groups (everyone from some special forces units to airsoft people)

The idea of velcro backed patches is that "loop" velcro (the fuzzy side) is sewn on the uniform or what have you, and then patches are easy to swap out / remove while the garment is cleaned / etc. For the Army for example, they change from full color US flags while in garrison to subdued ones for combat operations. As a special bonus for Browncoat patches, this also allows you to change your mind about the "star point up / star point down" question ;) Note that the loop velcro will not be included... lots of garments / hats / backpacks etc already are made with loop velcro areas these days, and for other stuff, you can easily find it at craft shops etc and have it sewn on just as easily as sewing a patch on, but with added flexibility.
