If I was going to buy them, I would first of all probably be in a specialty sewing or fabric shop. Secondly I would be asking how are they edged? Will they fray and come loose easily? Is there enough space around the pattern to sew them into/onto something else? What will I do with one?

At the moment they look like patches. If they aren't selling have you considered turning them into something else, magnet, minipicture, etc?

well when i first started doing this i was doing them for order in a comic book shop that used to have a pokemon day every saturday and i usually had at least one order a week but unfortunatly that comic book shop closed down and moved 20 miles away, so i tried to sell them in the shop next door that started doing the pokemon day and also sells loads of pokemon things but alas 2 months on and not a single order (tho not suprised cuz the comic shop had the odersheet where people could see it, the second shop had it behind a counter where no one could see it). i have only started doing it recently so i dont know how to edge or make them in to patches or magnets :(. thank you for helping by the way :)
