Definition: A patch is usually a small piece of fabric or embroidered design that can be applied to mend or decorate fabrics. These can be attached with fusing or sewn on.

Many ready-made embroidered patches are available at the craft store. You can use our free templates to print out stencils that can be traced on fabric and made into patches.
