In tonight's episode, 50 YO newbie asks how do you sew the patch on the uniform?
![]() The MHSAA patch has a red border. Do you simply use red thread through the border? Any other hints? |

I use vecro....sew-on velcro on the shirt...self adhesive on the back of the patch. The "soft" part of the velcro is on the shirt (so it doesn't snag while laundering) and coarse part on the patch. That way, the patch can be removed and used on a different shirt. Also, preparing a new patch takes all of a few seconds. I use two strips of white velcro placed on consecutive white stripes...which puts them almost at the edges of the patch.

The suggested technique has obviously served many here very well. However, I've discovered that every one of my newer "microsofter" shirts has at least one snag in it. I haven't conclusively identified the culprit, but it is most likely ... velcro. So now I'm shying away from velcro around my shirts whenever I can.
I have my wife put my patches on for me. Her technique is to ...
Using her technique the patches stay firmly attached and are still looking good until well after the shirt needs to be replaced. Which for me will be this season. Stupid velcro. ![]()
