Choose sublimation if you want a patch with bright, detailed, full-color designs that go beyond what embroidery and weaving can offer. It’s also perfect if your design includes intricate elements like tiny text or thin lines that would be difficult to achieve with other methods.

Think about combining the two if you’re envisioning a colorful, detailed background to make your embroidered design pop. This combo is also ideal if your design has small text or fine details that are best created with sublimation.
