Embroidered patches - help me I need an adult

One week ago I bought a 20-year old commercial embroidery machine. 12 needles, one head. It cost proper money. I don’t trust that it won’t break before I return on investment but that’s by the wayside.

It has issues, it is not perfect. The software to digitise images is buggy. Sometimes the stitching just doesn’t sit right.

These are all around 8cm wide. Even the black area is embroidered. They are on a nice thick felt material, and I can add iron-on backing but I would prefer people sew them on because neurotic.

Questions:

1. Everyone likes patches, right?
   
2. Would you personally buy some patches?
   
3. Can you tolerate a higher price being custom/low runs/limited numbers?
   
4. Is £10-20 too expensive?
   
   
   
   

Throwing back to nearly 3 years ago now, I thought I might do a very limited run of Plague Island patches.

Court of public opinion, do you want them, and what are you all willing to pay?
