How to Use – Iron-On Application
For best results, ensure the fabric is clean, dry, and able to withstand high heat. Test in an inconspicuous area if unsure.
- Preheat a household iron to a high temperature setting suitable for cotton or similar fabrics. Turn off steam.
- Lay the garment or item on a flat, heat-resistant surface.
- Position the patch with the adhesive side down on the desired location.
- Place a thin cotton cloth or pressing cloth over the patch to protect the embroidery.
- Press the iron firmly over the covered patch for approximately 15–30 seconds without moving it around.
- Turn the garment inside out (if possible) and press again from the reverse side for additional adhesion.
- Allow the patch and fabric to cool completely before handling to let the adhesive set.
How to Use – Sew-On Application
- Position the patch on the fabric and secure it in place with pins, fabric clips, or temporary fabric glue.
- Use a hand needle and strong polyester thread or a sewing machine with a straight or zigzag stitch.
- Sew close to the edge of the patch, following the border to maintain a neat appearance.
- Reinforce high-stress points, such as corners or curved tips, with a few extra stitches.
Note: For maximum durability, combining both iron-on and sew-on methods is recommended, especially for items that will be washed frequently or exposed to outdoor conditions.
