At some point we all end up having to sew badges onto uniforms, whether they be for your childrens brownies or gymnastic clubs, or work and millitary badges. Here are some tips to help make it easy and stressfree!

1) Position the badge where you would like it to sit. Attach with a pin or two.

2) Match your thread to either the outside thread of the badge or the material of the garment you're sewing it on. Cut a fair length of thread, enough to complete the job in one but not so much that it gets caught up.

3) Thread the needle and tie a knot in the end. Make the first stitch through the top of the garment where the badge will sit so the end of the thread will be hidden underneath it.

4) Pass the needle back through the garment, the stitches on this side are best if made small but as its on the inside it doesn't matter all that much.

5) Catch the edge of the badge with the needle and pass it back through the garment, continue roughly 5mm between stitches, the stitch itself is hidden under the edging of the badge.


6) To finish thread a few stitches through the garment and badge, be careful not to gather the garment material behind the badge by pulling to tight.
