Embroidered patches are a modern form of heraldry. They serve to express specific traits or values of the wearer. Before the advent of computer technology, patches were made by hand. The history of embroidered patches date back thousands of years ago to ancient cultures which developed the art of decorating fabric with thread stitching. Inspired by the patches used on NASA’s space missions, unique embroidered design have been developed for each font family of the ToSupply catalog. These patches are collectible items that can be used as cloth repair patches, computer back stickers, refrigerator magnets, or any other conceivable use.
