Sewing on badge patches

[Athame57]

I nearly blew a fuse but perforated a thumb a few times instead.  This was me struggling to sew two badges onto my leather jacket sleeves. Apart from needing a wooden beer mat and my nail clippers to get the needle through I found aiming the needle from inside the sleeve a bit like that blind fold game of pinning the tail on the donkey. Is there a proper way of going about this?.....Julie?

I used to stick mine on with glue and just put a stitch at each corner to make sure it never fell off  . I tried sewing on a Triumph patch once, never again

This is what I ended up doing. You know those sticky leather patches you can get on ebay for patching sofas et al ? I sewed the badges onto them and cut around the edges with scissors  because they are thinner and you can see what you are doing, and stick them on, however I quickly discovered they need support as you have done by corner stitching, alas, that was enough of a challenge to have me ask on here!
