Supplies Needed for a Patch Pressing Night
You don’t need a full craft studio—just a few basics:
- Embroidered patches ($2–$6 each)
- Household iron ($20–$40) or heat press ($100–$180)
- Parchment paper or Teflon sheet ($5–$10)
- Flat heat-safe surface
- Lint roller ($3)
- Optional sewing kit ($5–$10)
💡 Pro tip from Raes kreative studio: Light stitching makes patches last longer—especially on bags and clothing but not 100% necessary
