This article is being written up from our workshop notes. In the meantime, the Patch Guidebook covers sizing, constructions, backings and pricing in reference form, and the team will answer anything specific directly — send us the question.

What this guide will cover

Written by the people who run the machines: what we actually do, why we do it that way, and where the trade-offs sit. No filler and no sales pitch.
