A patch from a shirt of jacket? The ones that are put on by uniform companies? I have tried heating the patch and it does not budge.. any more ideas?

I am stumped, I doubt a razor slid under would work.

I wonder if soaking the underside with goop off or something of that nature would do.

My experience has been unsatisfactory no matter how I did it. I have managed to get a few off and had to put something else there to cover the glue or stain the glue leaves. :-( :thumbdown:

It is one of my old work jackets and DH would like the patch removed. I tried the razor thing. didnt work. guess I will just have to cut it off and cover it up with something else. :roll:

I put an iron-on over one. Another I used a magic marker on it.

Is this a heavy embroidered patch or a printed iron on?

I have never had luck removing patches like these...I suggest placing another patch over it. My Dad had a nice jacket that had a logo on it and when he retired he didn't want to display the logo, so I bought a suede or leather patch at Joanns, embroidered a golf ball on a tee, and trimmed it a bit. then just stitched it over the other.
