  • Colour matching of custom patches. We can either colour match visually by choosing thread that matches the image you have supplied, or by you coming into the factory, or where possible by you knowing the Madeira thread numbers that you want. If it’s important to you that your colours are exact you can check out the Madeira colour charts here https://www.sewingsupplies.co.nz/colour-charts/  always remembering that on screen colours can be a little different from actual.
