Welcome to the New Patch Page
"More Than Patches, this is a whole new way to embroider."
You may be wondering — why patches?
We actually sell finished patches through our sister company, Wild Threads, an accessory brand that creates charms, patches, tote bags and more, sold directly to customers and retail stores nationwide.
We wanted to bring that same experience to our Anita customers — except you have an advantage most people don't: your own embroidery machine. That means you can actually make your own! And the timing couldn't be better — personalization is the hottest segment in accessories right now.
You'll notice the downloads are priced much lower than the finished patches. Some of these designs take hours to stitch, which is why the physical patches carry a higher price tag. If you have no desire to buy the finished product, that's perfectly fine — you can always stitch your own. We just wanted you to see what we charge for the finished piece, so you can appreciate the real value of what you're downloading.
About the Patches
For the first time, you can purchase our patches already finished and ready to wear. Each one is professionally crafted in our North Carolina studio — the same quality and craftsmanship you've come to expect, now done for you. Or, you can obviously embroider your own — the choice is yours. Patches are available individually or in bundles and collections, with sizes ranging from 2" minis all the way up to jumbo.
Create your own patch collages
"Grab just one or stack several together — these patches are made to play well with each other, so the combinations are half the fun."

You can purchase the totes we use in our pieces.
This is the blank canvas we reach for again and again — and for the first time, we're offering it to you too. It's the tote behind so many of our finished pieces, and once you see it up close, you'll get why: the 18 oz canvas gives you a clean, sturdy surface that holds detail beautifully, whether you're going bold with dense fill stitches or keeping it simple with a monogram.
There are multiple sizes and colors available, Check back often becasue we are adding new totes all of the time!

The Wild Threads tote bags are live, check out what we made!
These aren't tote bags with embroidery on them.
They're art pieces that happen to have handles.
Every design starts as its own idea — a coastal scene, a hand-drawn crest, a full composition built stitch by stitch. We don't design a tote and run a thousand of them. A Wild Thread tote isn't a SKU. It's a piece.
Some are made once and never again. Others come in small numbered runs — and since every piece is built individually, no two are ever quite identical. Every bag is stocked as-is, ready to take home today. When a run sells out, that piece doesn't come back. What comes back is the next idea.
That's the trade: less flexibility, more soul. Design-your-own still lives online. This line is for the person who walks by a shelf and falls in love with something that already exists.
