How to Apply the Iron-On Patch
For best results, apply the skeleton hand patch to clean, dry fabric that can tolerate medium to high heat:
- 1. Preheat a dry iron to a high temperature suitable for cotton or similar fabrics. Turn off steam.
- 2. Place the garment on a flat, heat-resistant surface such as an ironing board.
- 3. Position the patch with the adhesive side against the fabric in the desired location.
- 4. Cover the patch with a thin cloth or pressing cloth to protect the embroidery.
- 5. Press firmly with the iron for about 15–30 seconds, applying even pressure over the entire patch.
- 6. Turn the garment inside out and press again from the reverse side for an additional 15–30 seconds to help the adhesive bond.
- 7. Allow the patch and garment to cool completely before wearing or handling.
Recommended Sewing for Extra Durability
Although the patch includes an iron-on backing, sewing is recommended for garments that will receive heavy use or frequent washing.
- Use a sewing machine or hand-stitch around the edge of the patch with matching or contrasting thread.
- Stitch close to the border to secure the edges and reduce lifting over time.
- Particularly recommended for leather, backpacks, and outerwear exposed to movement and friction.

Care and Maintenance
- Turn garments inside out before washing to reduce friction on the patch surface.
