How to Use – Iron-On Application
The romantasy dragon iron-on patch is designed for simple home application using a standard household iron. Follow these general steps:
- Set the iron to a high temperature suitable for cotton or similar fabrics. Turn off the steam function.
- Place the garment or accessory on a flat, heat-resistant surface.
- Position the dragon patch with the adhesive side down on the desired location.
- Cover the patch with a thin pressing cloth or cotton fabric to protect the embroidery.
- Press the iron firmly over the covered patch for approximately 15–30 seconds, applying even pressure.
- Allow the patch and fabric to cool briefly, then turn the garment inside out.
- Press the inside of the fabric directly behind the patch for additional bonding strength for another 15–30 seconds.
- Let the item cool completely before wearing or handling extensively.
Note: Always check the fabric care label to ensure it can withstand high heat. Delicate or heat-sensitive fabrics may not be suitable for iron-on application.
Optional Sewing for Extra Durability
For garments or accessories that will be washed frequently or undergo heavy use, adding stitching around the edges can increase the patch’s longevity.
- After ironing, use a needle and thread or a sewing machine to sew around the edge of the patch.
- Use a matching or contrasting thread color, depending on desired appearance.
- Secure all corners and curves to prevent lifting over time.
