How to Use – Iron-On Application Instructions
This patch is designed for iron-on application to many fabric surfaces. For best results, apply to cotton or cotton-blend fabrics that can tolerate high heat.
- Step 1 – Prepare the garment: Lay the garment on a flat, heat-resistant surface. Ensure the fabric is clean, dry, and free of wrinkles in the area where the patch will be attached.
- Step 2 – Set the iron: Preheat a household iron to a high temperature suitable for cotton or similar fabrics. Turn off the steam function and use a dry heat setting.
- Step 3 – Position the patch: Place the patch with the embroidered side facing up and the adhesive side against the fabric. Adjust the position until it is aligned as desired.
- Step 4 – Cover the patch: Place a thin cloth, pressing cloth, or piece of cotton fabric over the patch to protect the embroidery from direct heat.
- Step 5 – Apply heat: Press the iron firmly onto the covered patch for approximately 15–30 seconds, applying even pressure without moving the iron back and forth.
- Step 6 – Press the reverse side: Turn the garment inside out and press the reverse side of the fabric behind the patch for an additional 15–30 seconds to help the adhesive bond.
- Step 7 – Allow to cool: Let the patch cool completely before handling. Check the edges to ensure full adhesion.
Additional Attachment Option
For enhanced durability, especially on frequently washed garments or high-movement areas such as elbows and backpack straps, the patch can be sewn on after ironing:
- Use a sewing machine or hand-stitch along the border of the patch
- Match the thread color to the border for a subtle look, or use a contrasting color for decorative stitching
Key Benefits and Advantages
