Sublimation patch

You can find a good definition for Sublimation here.
Sometimes an embroidery client will need a full detailed logo, but because of embroidery limitations we need to take out some of the details. What if your client insisted on the details?
You can offer to him a sublimation+embroidery combination.

Today I will show you how create a patch using a sublimation material inside with an embroidery border. 
You will need:

• twill or a thicker material
• sublimation material (you can ask someone to print this for you)
• glue
• embroidery machine

The digitizing

It is important to have a cut line on your sublimation material. Once it is printed, load your embroidery software and create a file with 3 objects.

• a guide line
• a hold/tack down line 
• a cover line

In this picture you can see 3 objects side by side
