Steps To Learn How to Sew a Patch On a Hat
- Begin by placing the hat on your head to help determine exactly where you’d like to place the patch.
- Glue the patch on the hat to ensure it doesn’t move while you’re sewing it.
- Allow the glue to dry completely.
- Select thread that matches your patch boarder and carefully thread a size 10 needle.
- Depending on the size of your patch, we recommend using approximately 24 inches of thread.
- Tie a knot at the end of the thread.
- If you’re right handed, place a thimble on the middle finger of your right hand. If you’re left handed, place it on the middle finger of your left hand.
- Turn your hat inside out and push your needle through the hat and patch simultaneously using your thimble finger.
- From the inside, pull the needle and thread through all the way.
- Do this process slowly to ensure your thread does not become tangled.
- Continue to sew small stitches by pushing the needle in and out of the boarder of the patch connecting it to the hat.
- Once the entire patch is sewn onto the hat, cut the thread and tie a knot.
- Ensure you’re doing this on the inside of the hat so it doesn’t show while you’re wearing it.
