Patches

Hey all, got myself into a slight pickle...

Patches... I need three, and no one makes them. Does anyone know of anyone who makes custom patches?
Any help would be greaaaaaaaatttlllyyy appreciated

 

You mean for you're Rebel pilot? Uh... I didn't know those had patches of any sort. What do those look like?

 

Patches? Patches? We don't need no steenkin patches!

Sorry couldn't resist.

How many are you looking for? The biggest obstacle is cost. If you want to make up one or two they end up costing quite a large amount. Of ourse if you do a run of 200 the price per patch becomes really reasonable, but you still need to pay for 200 patches.

I can point you to a few people who make patches for the Rebel Legion and/or the 501st

 

Yeaaaa i dont need 200 patches of these lol.

I just need one each for myself.. Which i guess is the hardest part... getting just one

 

If it's a one off, you can always embroider them yourself. It really isn't that difficult once you learn how.

 

good point Arsinoe... one problem... i dont know how . I've never had to embroider anything..

 

Well if its a single copy the best thing I can suggest is to find a local person with an embroidery machine, explain you just ned one and see if anyone is willing to do it.

You are probably going to get more luck with a small business run out of a person's home, rather than a storefront kind of place.

There might even be people here in this forum with a fancy enough machine to scan and embroider who might be able to help. Heck I was going to ask the same thing at some point. I have a patch design that I only need 6 of.

 

That... would be super...

I just hope someone who can make them actually reads this... Because i have a funny feeling if i tried it with my machine, it would not be pretty haha

 

A local person might be best, but you might want to check here:

The owner of ASAP has used them a lot and recommends them so it might work for you.

 

Well, my mother's got an embroidery machine. She's never used it specifically for embroidry, but I wouldn't be surprised if she knew how. But I have no idea where you're located so I can't really help you.

 

I trued them already... Their minimum is 50 . But it was a good shot!

 

There's some one by the name of:

Annya_Latoure2

He/She recently bought an embroidery machine. I don't know if they are interested in doing any work for anyone or not. But it couldn't hurt to ask.

 

What do the patches you want look like?

 

two of them are just tan rectangles, one would say "CorSec" and the other would say "Officer Wessiri"

the other.. well here's the description from the book...

"Corran recoiled in surprise and for the first time saw the patch on the shoulder of her jumpsuit. It showed a Corellian sea-ray that had a bar where its eyes should have been. Because of the polarized thread used to embroider the black eye-bar, a little vertical white line passed through it, running side to side."
