How to Use: Iron-On Application Instructions
Follow these general steps to apply the “Stay Wild” iron-on patch:
- Preheat a household iron to a high temperature setting appropriate for the garment fabric. Turn off any steam function.
- Place the garment or item on a firm, heat-resistant surface such as an ironing board.
- Position the patch with the embroidered side facing up and the adhesive backing against the fabric in the desired location.
- Cover the patch with a thin pressing cloth or a piece of cotton fabric to protect the embroidery from direct heat.
- Press the iron firmly on top of the covered patch for approximately 15–30 seconds without moving the iron back and forth.
- Turn the garment inside out (if possible) and press the area from the reverse side for an additional 15–30 seconds to enhance the bond.
- Allow the patch and garment to cool completely before wearing or handling.
Note: Application times and temperature may need slight adjustment depending on the thickness of the fabric and the heat output of the iron. Always test on an inconspicuous area when unsure.
Additional Security: Sewing for Maximum Durability
For items that will experience frequent washing or heavy use, sewing the patch is recommended after ironing:
- Use a sewing machine or hand-stitch along the edge of the patch.
- Choose thread color that matches the patch border or contrasts for decorative effect.
- Securely knot thread ends on the inside of the garment or backing of the accessory.
Combining the iron-on adhesive with stitching can provide a more secure and longer-lasting attachment, especially for backpacks, jackets, or outdoor gear.
