Some of you are aware that my 30th birthday was on Wednesday. My parents and bride conspired and bought me a super nice racing suit to commemorate such an occasion.
Anybody have any recommendations for a place to do embroidery / install NASA patches on suits?
This is the only 30th birthday I'll celebrate...from here forward I identify as 29.

Buy an upholstery needle and some nomex thread...
I did this on my old one and it turns out I'm bad at sewing. Wife is no help either...Quote:

Ask your dry cleaner... or a local tailor. Maybe even bring the nomex thread with you.Quote:

Going to also give these guys a call.
Nomex thread so it doesn't burn. Ideally the patch would only be attached to the outer later to avoid the pinhole penetration in the suit. I'm guessing most of us have been sewn through all the layers. Mine, at least, are attached with Nomex.Quote:

I went through all the layers on my suit with nomex thread. It just looks like a blind person sewed it...Quote:
