Default A soft embroidery patch?

I was looking around to get patches made but I noticed that they are all the hard patches you see on uniforms. I have a patch or what seems to be an embroidered patch that is soft. There is no rise on the print and the fabric is soft and flimsy like a piece of cloth. Where would I find some to print like that or what would you call that? Is it embroidery or am I mistaken.
Thank you

It might be a patch made with felt. That's the softest I have seen embroidered patches.

Put up a picture, let us have a look.

Some badges are made with what is called a "Water Soluable" material, that just leaves the stitching behind after washing. Giving a very soft feel to it.

You probably want to go with a woven patch, not embroidered. Softer, flat, not raised thread on a twill, like embroidered can be. Woven gives a softer look and feel. You can get more detail with a woven patch also.

Maybe it's woven & not embroidered?

Plus one on the woven/schiffli patch. They're usually cheaper per piece but the minimum order quantity is quite high.
