How to Use – Iron-On Application Instructions
The patch includes an iron-on backing for easy application. For best results, follow these steps:
- Preheat a household iron to a high setting suitable for the fabric (usually cotton or high heat). Turn off any steam function.
- Place the garment on a firm, heat-resistant surface such as an ironing board.
- Position the skeleton hands heart patch in the desired location with the embroidered side facing up and the adhesive side against the fabric.
- Cover the patch with a thin pressing cloth, such as a cotton dish towel or piece of fabric, to protect the embroidery.
- Press the iron firmly over the covered patch for approximately 15–30 seconds, applying even pressure. Do not move the iron back and forth.
- Turn the garment inside out and apply the iron again to the reverse side of the fabric directly behind the patch for another 15–30 seconds to enhance adhesion.
- Allow the garment and patch to cool completely before wearing or handling to let the adhesive set.
Note: Some fabrics that are very delicate, heat-sensitive, or stretchy may not be suitable for iron-on application. In these cases, sewing is recommended.
Sew-On Option for Extra Durability
- After ironing, the patch can be stitched around the edges to secure it permanently.
- Use a sewing machine or hand-stitch with strong polyester thread matching the border color.
- Sew close to the edge of the embroidered border for a neat finish.
- Sewing is recommended for heavy-use items such as backpacks, work jackets, motorcycle vests, and frequently washed garments.
