How to Use – Iron-On Application Instructions
For best results, follow these general iron-on steps. Always check the care label of the garment and test heat on an inconspicuous area first.
- 1. Prepare the surface: Place the garment or item on a hard, heat-resistant, flat surface. Ensure the fabric is clean, dry, and wrinkle-free.
- 2. Position the patch: Place the Stay Western embroidered patch in the desired location, with the adhesive side against the fabric and the design facing up.
- 3. Protect the design: Cover the patch with a thin pressing cloth, cotton fabric, or parchment paper to prevent direct contact between the iron and embroidery.
- 4. Heat settings: Set the iron to a high temperature suitable for cotton or the highest safe setting for the chosen fabric. Turn off any steam function.
- 5. Apply pressure: Press the iron firmly onto the covered patch for approximately 15–30 seconds. Do not move the iron back and forth; hold it steady with consistent pressure.
- 6. Secure the back: Turn the garment inside out, place the pressing cloth over the back of the patch area, and press again for another 15–30 seconds to strengthen the bond.
- 7. Cool and check: Allow the area to cool completely. Check edges to ensure they are fully adhered. If any edge lifts, repeat the pressing process as needed.
Sewing for Extra Durability (Optional)
- For items that will be washed often or exposed to heavy use, sew around the border of the patch after ironing.
- Use a coordinating or contrasting thread and a straight or zigzag stitch along the edge.
- Hand sewing is possible using a sturdy needle and thread, especially on thicker materials.
Care and Maintenance
- Turn garments inside out before washing to reduce friction on the patch surface.
- Use gentle or normal machine wash settings when the base garment allows.
- Avoid very high heat in dryers; moderate temperatures help preserve the adhesive and embroidery.
- Do not iron directly on the embroidered surface once attached; always use a pressing cloth if additional ironing is necessary.
- On delicate fabrics, consider sewing the patch instead of relying only on the iron-on adhesive.
Compatibility with Different Fabrics
- Ideal fabrics: Cotton, cotton blends, denim, canvas, and similar heat-tolerant materials.
- Use caution: Polyester, soft synthetics, or blends may require lower iron temperatures and shorter pressing times.
- Not recommended: Highly heat-sensitive materials such as some nylons, silks, or very stretchy fabrics may not be suitable for iron-on application.
- Leather and faux leather: May be decorated with the patch by sewing; iron-on application is often not advised due to heat sensitivity.
What’s Included
- One Custom Stay Western embroidered patch with cowboy boots and hat design, in the selected size option.
