QR-Code Cross Stitch Patch

Step 11 Adding to a garment

Once you've completed the patch you can then attach it to a piece of clothing like a jacket, coat, or even a pair of jeans.  When attaching always use white thread only, so as not to interfere with the barcode reader.   I've put one on a coat pocket and one on the chest on a sweat jacket.  I'm thinking that the back of a jacket would be best because it would have less tendency to warp or bend on the back.  That is unless you wear a backpack of course.

Keep in mind when placing the patch on a piece of clothing that if you spill something on it that obscures the code it may no longer be readable.  So be careful!

That's it.  I hope you enjoyed it.

have you noticed if your phone doesn't recognize the qr code if the garment is a little curved or wavy, in other words, can the qr be recognized if the garments is not completely flat?

I have noticed that, which is why I tried to solve it with a heavy/stiff interfacing. It is especially problematic if it's on a very round part of the body, I've got mine over a pocket on my hoodie and it never wants to scan until I take it off and lay it on a table. Placing the patch on the back of the garment would probably be idea, because it would have less curve.
