Just tack it on with some Elmers glue, spread evenly around the back perimeter apply when tacky and iron low setting. That'll keep it in place. It is also very important to make sure the liner doesn't get stitched out of place. A few hand stitches around the patch where it'll be finish stitched making sure the liner is perfect, then just do the finish stitches right over it. Remove the temp stitches when done ( do them a different color like red so easy to see )JOHNO said:I'll take all the stitching advise I can get!

One reason I do is because sometimes the jacket leather and patch leather are so squishy that the foot of my machine causes a wave in front as it pushes forward. If lightly tacked to each other with whatever works, and lubed on top with my special sauce for the foot to glide on, problem eliminated. The foot loses the friction to push a wave in front of it, and the leather resists whatever push is left in the foot. Hand stitching is a different story.CBI said:Why any glue, never had problems with just sewing it on.
