LFGSS embroidered badges

update

Todd, from Spoking Fun suggested these tips in response to an enquiry for advice,

1. You should expect to pay around $2 per piece in an order of 100 pieces.
   
2. Always request a pre-production sample image to ensure your image will translate as requested to a patch.
   
3. In my opinion, the best patches have three elements. A merrowed edge (this is the wrapped threading around the patch), 100% embroidered (gives the image a rich/bold look) and finally it should be the right size (nobody wants a huge patch, try to stick with the under 3" rule).
   
   

In response to Sweaty,

Thread merge? Or will we get a list together with enough people and then not agree on a design after 6 months of discussion?

the list in this thread is specifically for simply the 'LFGSS' lettering, sized to the same dimensions as the forum cap;

have been quoted a total production cost of £332 by U.K.P. Accessories (checking that this does include everything!), and have asked about how to obtain pre-production samples.. given a minimum order quantity of 1000, it works out as 33p per badge, so £2 for 6; meaning, 166 people would be needed at £2 each, or, splitting the costs, £10 each for 32 people - buying 30 badges (keep five, pass on 25!) given the current list quantity!!

needs more people!!

(or a supplier who would supply less of a quantity for less cost!)

the list continues..
