I have yet to meet a design that cannot be made into an applique!!! Many clients who inquire about them will end up sending the fabric for me to embroider the design directly onto, but some want the appliques so they can fool with placement if they want, while others want the appliques first so they can design around them! Sometimes the dress is already done so applique patches are a necessity, and then there are just times when placement of a separate applique is simply easier for some than lining up the fabric (like a skirt) in the hoop.

The photos below shows some of the applique patches I have made for others as well as for my own work. I have also made patch files for other dressmakers that also come with directions for making and applying them.

So, whether you want patches made for you or want to make your own, it can be done. For more info, please write to me at taoknitter@gmail.com .
