- Backing: Heat-activated adhesive backing formulated for iron-on application to most cotton and polyester fabrics.
- Edge finish: Clean embroidered border to reduce fraying and create a defined silhouette around the Medusa design.
- Construction: Multi-pass machine embroidery for consistent stitch density, sharp edges, and long-term durability under normal wear conditions.

How to Use the Medusa Iron On Patch
This patch is designed for easy application with a household iron or heat press. It is suitable for cotton, denim, and many polyester blends.
- Launder and dry the garment first to remove sizing, dust, or oils that may affect adhesion.
- Preheat the iron to a high temperature suitable for cotton or the heaviest fabric layer, with steam turned off.
- Place the garment or accessory on a flat, heat-resistant surface.
- Position the Medusa patch with the adhesive side down on the desired area.
- Cover the patch with a thin cotton cloth, pressing cloth, or parchment sheet to protect the embroidery.
- Press firmly with the iron for approximately 15–30 seconds, applying even pressure over the entire patch.
- Turn the garment inside out and press again on the reverse side for another 15–30 seconds to enhance bonding.
- Allow the patch and garment to cool completely before handling to ensure the adhesive sets properly.
For best results, especially on heavily used garments or flexible fabrics, sewing around the edges after ironing is recommended.
