I guess a big part is how large the patch area is and where on the jeans it is located (like a knee area as opposed to a spot which doesn't bend very much). Good luck!

I thought this was a great idea until I tried it. Back to needle and thread for me. I find that fabric glue makes jeans stiff and crunchy. I thought this was a great idea until I tried it.

She must have had a very strong sewing machine to sew through all that denim. There really isn't any good way to get your sewing machine in there. Just baste your patch firmly into place and then maneuver the sewing machine needle around the patch a bit at a time. You might have to turn the machine by hand if it wants to go too fast.

My kids are always wearing out the knees and it is a big job by hand, but I can't figure out how to fit them into the machine properly without sewing through the material to the other side.

They have some really fancy patches at Walmart in the sewing section, and they would make plain jeans look just like the expensive ones with all the embellishments. Thanks for the great article!
