Sewing patches, is there a trick to it?

I have to sew three patches onto Tyler's Karate uniform.  While I posess the knowledge to do basic sewing, I am not skilled at it.  Everytime I have sewn patches in the past, they look terrible.  Is there a trick to it?  Two go on the sleeves, that is where mine always look the worst!  His Sensei said most people take them to a tailor to have them sewn on.  I don't want to pay $15 to have someone sew on patches after the small fortune I just paid for the uniform!

Re: Sewing patches, is there a trick to it?

  • I was going to say the trick is to take them to a tailor! I was always going to the tailor with patches for the girls I nannied for (girl scouts). If they were sew on the tailor did it, if they were iron on I did it! lol

    My mom used to tack my patches on my GS sash, just 1 stitch on each edge...but it didn't look that great.
