So you just bought your first Harley. What are you going to do? You gotta get a jacket.
Okay. So, you want to add some patches to the new club that you just joined. Let's talk
a little bit about adding patches to motorcycle jackets. Hi, my name is Daniel King. I'm a
designer and pattern maker, and I'm just going to tell you a little bit about what you can
do to customize your motorcycle jacket. I'm going to demonstrate on fabric here. And maybe
it's a denim jacket you're going to start with before you go to leather. Of course,
with leather, you'll need a little more heavy duty needle and thread. It sews just a little
differently, so you have to have patience with that. But on fabric, you're going to
get your patch. And typically it's going to be a patch that's already been pre....pre-purchased,
pre-made. So you're not going to have raw edges on it. You're going to take your needle
and thread, and I'm going to take your needle and come through the actual fabric here to
anchor it. When I anchor it, then I'm going to start to go underneath the patch itself,
and then through the very edge of the patch. Bring that up. Pull it through. Make sure
it's anchored. And I might do it once or twice right at the beginning, so it's secure. You
always want to secure the beginning and the end where you start and finish to sew. Then
I just keep going underneath and catching the fabric or the leather, and then coming
through the top of the patch itself. And just keep coming through. And go all the way around
the patch to be sure that it's all secure, because when you're riding down the highway,
you don't want that patch flying off. My name is Daniel King. And have a great trip on that
cycle.
