How to Use – Iron-On Application
For fabrics that tolerate heat, the iron-on backing allows for quick attachment. Always test a small, inconspicuous area of the garment first and follow garment care labels.
- Set a household iron to a high temperature setting suitable for the garment fabric (usually cotton or linen setting) with no steam.
- Place the garment on a flat, heat-resistant surface.
- Position the patch with the adhesive side down on the desired area.
- Cover the patch with a thin cotton cloth or pressing cloth to protect the embroidery.
- Press the iron firmly over the patch for approximately 15–30 seconds without moving the iron back and forth.
- Turn the garment inside out and press the reverse side of the patch area for another 15–30 seconds to help the adhesive bond.
- Allow the garment and patch to cool completely before handling or wearing.
How to Use – Sew-On Application
For items that will be washed frequently, heavily used, or for fabrics that do not tolerate high heat, sewing the patch is recommended.
- Position the patch on the garment and temporarily fix it in place with pins, fabric tape, or a light iron-on bond.
- Use a sewing needle and strong polyester thread, or a sewing machine with an appropriate needle for the fabric.
- Sew close to the embroidered border, using small, even stitches all the way around the edge.
- Secure the thread ends carefully on the inside of the garment.
- For extra durability, both iron-on and sewing can be combined.
