Chenille Patches

Chenille patches are a type of decorative patch often used on varsity jackets, sweaters, and other garments. They are characterized by their fuzzy, velvet-like texture and are made by inserting short lengths of yarn into a backing material. These patches are popular for displaying letters, numbers, and symbols, and are commonly associated with school or team spirit.

Chenille patches are made by placing yarn between two layers of backing material, then stitching it together with a loop stitch, which creates the characteristic soft, fuzzy surface. This process often involves a combination of hand-guided machines and manual sewing techniques to achieve the desired design and texture.

Our custom chenille patches are tailored to your unique design. Select your preferred size, shape, and border type, then upload your artwork – we'll transform your concept into a plush, textured patch.

• Versatility: Suitable for a wide range of applications, from varsity jackets and sweaters to hats and bags, chenille patches can be customized in various shapes, sizes, and designs to fit any style.
• Vibrant Colors: The chenille yarns absorb dyes well, resulting in rich, vibrant colors that catch the eye and don’t fade easily over time.

Our chenille patches can be attached easily with a heat press, streamlining the application process. There's no requirement for sewing or the application of glue, which can lead to peeling issues.

The advantage of being able to use a heat press for your chenille patches is that they can be securely attached to almost any type of fabric. This offers great flexibility for any event, organization, or purpose. Although our heat press backing is the most popular option, we also provide peel and stick and velcro options for chenille patches, giving you additional versatility in how you apply them.
