Custom Patch Twill Colors

Custom Patch Twill Color Questions

What is twill on an embroidered patch?

Twill is the fabric base the thread is stitched on. Custom patch twill colors are the cloth colors that show wherever the design is not fully embroidered.

Do I pick twill on a 100% embroidered patch?

100% coverage hides the twill on the face. You still may choose a twill for the underside. On 50% and 75% patches, pick the twill color you want seen.

How do I specify embroidered twill colors?

Use the number next to each swatch. Put that number on the design request with the artwork.

Is twill color the same as thread color?

No. Twill is the cloth. Thread is the stitching. They have separate charts. See custom patch thread colors.

Will the twill match my screen?

No. Order by chart number. We can note a close PMS aim if needed, but twill is matched to this chart.

How do we start?

List the twill number and send artwork through our design request form. Backing and edge are on custom patch backing.
