FAQ
Questions About Chenille Patches
Is chenille the same as embroidery?
No. Chenille uses plush loop yarn and a felt base, so it is better for large varsity-style designs than fine stitched detail.
Can I request proof approval?
Yes. Proof approval is used to confirm shape, color, material, border and backing before bulk production.
