I buy the non stick 12x24 leatherette from createwith614.com. I then put ultra heat n bond adhesive on the back. I’ve found that it’s more durable than the already adhesive backing that you can get. Make sure to use promo CMK if you decide to buy your sheets from the above website.
I apologize on keep asking questions. I bought the a couple leatherettes, thanks for code. Question is the HeatnBond Ultra. Do you use the adhesive sheet that you iron on the back of the leather? And then cut out? Thanks for the video and responding back, just want to try to get as much info before experimenting on these hat patches
@@georgesavage3482 yes, you’ll need to put the heat and bond on the back first, then do your cut outs. Make sure you do not get it too hot. I set my press at 300 degrees and press it for 2-3 seconds.
Good info! Thank you. I really love be the site for leather and will be ordering very soon. My M1 is making a noise when it’s finished etching or cutting. Does your machine make any noise? It almost sounds like it’s grinding. I’ve cleaned the belts but didn’t want to take it apart to check it there’s something there I missed. The machine runs well. It didn’t make the noise when I first got it. I have had the machine for a month. Any thoughts?
Yes, over time it’s the ribbon wires and the rail system creates some noise. If my machine is moving back and forth a lot you tend to hear what seems like grinding but I’ve determined mine is the ribbon wire movement.

Hello nice video! Is possible to use normal real leather with Heat'n Bond Ultra Hold Iron-On Adhesive? Is also possible to use an iron? Instead the heat gun thanks a lot for your videos
It depends on the thickness of the leather, if it’s to thick and stiff the heat n bond will not be strong enough to hold, you’ll have to stitch it too.
@@GianlucaTursi I prefer the heat gun over an iron, if you could use a hat press that would work better than an iron. If you use a iron make sure you use a heat silicon sheet over your leather.
The gun has two settings low and high. I typically use the low setting. I also use a laser temperature sensor to make sure I’m reaching 285 degrees. I would practice on a old hat first and make you get the heat just right before using good hats.
@@craignichols4634 Yes you right..i do also sewpatching.myself ....with a old adler30...i sell about 300pcs of hats a year....best hats are embroidered ones...🫡
He’s the best salesman. Totally convinced me to buy a hat press.
Little harder process with a heat gun. Hat press is much quicker.
Just buy a hat press, I been doing hats with patches over 10 years, and I bought a hat press since day one, is easier, faster better.
Just an alternative option for others, in case you’re in a bind and need to use the heat gun method.
Your method is perfect. 100% spot on. DIY perfect. Thanks for this.
Good video 👍 Make sure you adjust your microphone as it's hard to hear in certain places of the video.
Thank you for the info
Nice way to do it, if you dont want to stitch them
I'd be interested in buying some patches from you
Hello, thank you for reaching out to us.
Please email us at coleminorkustoms@outlook.com. We would be happy to make some patches for sale.

Cricut design space and Inkscape for my graphic builds. Then I transfer those images over to the Xtool design space for laser cuts and engraving.
Thank you for the information. Where did you buy the leatherette from?
www.createwith614.com

Go Vols!!!
Hey what are you using to hear the gun on I’m going to try this method
The gun has two settings low and high. I typically use the low setting. I also use a laser temperature sensor to make sure I’m reaching 285 degrees. I would practice on a old hat first and make you get the heat just right before using good hats.
Fellow M1 user !! Nice!
Where do you buy your hats... Trying to find a reputable source.
Wholesalers, set up an account as a business with different companies. SS activewear, pacific sports, elite sports.
@@coleminorkustoms8594 very cool ! I guess I need to set up a business haha
@@ShyneflowLC you can still buy direct but it will cost you more without a business account.
@@coleminorkustoms8594 good to know. I just wanted a few to try it out :)
Appreciate you 🙏🏾.... im masking my patches. Whats your opinion on that process?
I’ve only masked wood engraved items. Let me know how that works on the leatherette.
Where do you get your hats from?
Epic sports, apparel in a bag, who ever has the best sale and promo codes.
Thanks for the video!!
Where did you find the design of the patch at?
It’s a design I made. Most of my hats I make myself.
What software do you use to create these patches?
Inkscape or cricut design space
You turned a 4 minute video into 15+ minutes.
Most definitely did!
Which laser are you using?
10w Xtool M1. I have a link in the description, check out their website. I also have a link for the leatherette material.
Its not lasting..glew or heatpressing will come of after you wash it...only sewing keeps the patch longlasting on any hat...😂😂its just amateurish..
Yes, sewing is always a more permanent option.
I like scrolling through comments to find the expert that thinks their opinion matters! Found it!! I’ll be sure not to use “glew.”
@@craignichols4634 🤣lol we love all the comments good or bad.
@@craignichols4634 Yes you right..i do also sewpatching.myself ....with a old adler30...i sell about 300pcs of hats a year....best hats are embroidered ones...🫡
