A example of one patch's process, from drawing to final product.

The client first faxed a rough sketch with notes of what he wanted the patch to look like.
We started off by adding the basic diamond background, then added the necessary text.
Next we had to fill in with the specified design elements, such as the two images and the "50".
For the Cub Scout image we used one of our many image collections.
After adding the final image on the left, the final design was sent to the company for professional embroidery.
The embroidery company emailed us back an image proof to show that they were going to do what was ordered. The design was OK'd by the customer and the patch went into production.
Here's a shot of the final patch as it was delivered.
