Pricing
All patches are priced by measuring the longest portion of the patch. If there is a large difference between length and width, an average will be taken for sizing purposes. Large patches may incur additional cost.
Some patches will be hand-sewn and incur additional service fees. For some items, there is no easy access to the patch area to properly sew the patch on using the sewing machine. This is not uncommon with multiple patches on a single sleeve or with small sleeves. By requesting services, you authorize any necessary hand-sewing.
| Patch Size – Longest Side | Price Per Patch |
|---|---|
| Patches up to 1½” | $2.75 |
| Patches up to 2½” | $3.25 |
| Patches up to 3½” | $3.75 |
| Patches up to 4½” | $4.25 |
| Patches up to 5½” | $4.75 |
| Patches up to 6½” | $5.25 |
| Patches up to 7½” | $5.75 |
| Patches up to 8½” | $6.25 |
| Patches up to 9½” | $6.75 |
| Patches over 9½” | $7.50 |

What about Badge Magic?
I get a lot of questions asking why I do not recommend Badge Magic for putting patches on clothing and other items. There are a lot of reasons, but the primary reasons are because it is permanent–kind of.
The manufacturer does not recommend ironing anything with this product on it because, evidently it has inconsistent results. With that in mind, regular laundry processes (drying) can mimic the heat of an iron. Not only this, but if you dry clean any items, some chemicals can make the adhesive “let go” entirely. Unfortunately, it is likely to leave an adhesive residue that still needs to be removed. The manufacturer even admits that additional product may need to be used to secure edges that peel up.
Keeling this in mind, I just cannot recommend it–at all! First, removing patches that have this is time consuming and requires certain chemicals to get the residue out of the fabrics. I hate sewing through patches that have been previously applied with the product.
A sewn on patch is secure–long term. It is quick and generally painless. I do not mind sewing patches–honest truth. Not only this, but machine sewn patches are easy to remove. Patches on heavily laundered uniforms (such as martial arts uniforms or scouting uniforms) can have some normal wear around the patches, but usually the holes are hidden by new patches if removed.
Just skip the Badge Magic!
Additional Fees for Patch Sewing Services
Rush Fees
Planning is important! Please allow adequate time for completion of your patch sewing services.
Customers requesting less than a 72-hour turnaround (3 business days) on patch sewing jobs will be charged a rush fee. Weekends incur additional costs.
$50.00 per order
You will be notified of any Rush Fees that will be applied to your services at the time of drop-off appointment approval.
The typical turnaround for patch sewing orders is 7-10 days. Please plan accordingly. I reserve the right to decline any rush job for patch sewing services due to time limitations.
Wash Fees
All items brought to Stacey Sansom Designs for any sewing service, inclusive of patch sewing, MUST BE CLEAN of all animal hair, body funk, and strong smells.
Any item not meeting these specifications will incur a non-refundable washing fee. This fee is used to clean your items before providing services.
$5.00 per item‡
If you have animals, smoke, exercise a lot, or diffuse essential oils (to name a few), please wash and dry your items, gently fold them, and immediately seal them in a zippered plastic bag (right out of the dryer). You can purchase 2-3.5-gallon bags in the paper goods aisle at most discount stores or grocery stores. Larger bags can be purchased online.
‡ Dry-cleaned items will incur additional costs based on local dry cleaning prices. Batch pricing available, priced per load.
