Step 5Stitch it down.
Now that the patch is ironed in place, you can stitch around the edges without pinning or worrying about fabric stretching and misaligning.
If you have a sewing machine, sew with a zigzag stitch around the edges of the patch. Once you get all the way around the edge, overlap the stitching by an inch or so to keep the thread from unravelling. (I often just sew all the way around the edge twice.) The zigzag stitch helps keep the edge of the patch from fraying or slipping out.
If you're sewing by hand, stitch all the way around the edge. Use small stitches and overlap them if the patch fabric is prone to fraying.
