Materials and Construction
- Base Fabric: Patches are typically embroidered on a sturdy twill or similar woven fabric, selected for durability and resistance to fraying.
- Embroidery Thread: High-quality polyester or rayon embroidery threads are used to achieve bright rainbow colors, smooth texture, and defined outlines.
- Backing: The reverse side features an iron-on adhesive backing that activates with heat, allowing the patch to bond securely to compatible fabrics.
- Edge Finishing: Most patches include a clean embroidered border or merrowed edge to enhance durability and prevent thread unraveling during wear and washing.
- Stitch Density: Tight, dense stitching adds clarity to small details in the dinosaur, cat, heart, and pride motifs and helps maintain shape over time.
Dimensions and Size Information
The rainbow animal iron-on patches in this collection vary in size depending on the specific design. Sizes typically range from approximately 3 inches to 10 inches in width or height.
- Small patches (around 3–4 inches): Often used on hats, front pockets, backpacks, and smaller clothing areas.
- Medium patches (around 5–7 inches): Suitable for the back of denim jackets, the front of hoodies, or the sides of bags.
- Large patches (around 8–10 inches): Ideal for statement placements such as the back panel of a jacket or the front of a tote or backpack.
Exact dimensions may vary by design, so consider the intended placement area and measure the garment or accessory before application.
Weight and Feel
- Weight: Each patch has a medium weight due to the embroidered thread and backing, offering a substantial feel without being excessively stiff.
- Texture: The surface is slightly raised, with a textured embroidered finish that stands out visually and to the touch.
- Flexibility: Suitable for most everyday garments, though lighter or very stretchy fabrics may require extra care or sewing support.
How to Use the Iron-On Patch
The custom embroidered rainbow patches are designed for iron-on application on fabric surfaces that tolerate medium to high heat. Follow these general steps:
- Preheat a household iron to a high temperature without steam. For most irons, the cotton setting is appropriate. Ensure the steam function is turned off.
- Place the garment or accessory on a hard, heat-resistant surface such as an ironing board or a flat table covered with a protective cloth.
- Position the patch with the embroidered side facing up and the adhesive backing against the fabric in the desired location.
- Cover the patch with a thin cotton cloth or pressing cloth to protect the embroidery from direct heat.
- Press the iron firmly over the covered patch for approximately 15–30 seconds, applying steady pressure without moving the iron back and forth.
- Carefully lift the iron and check the edges. If the patch has not fully adhered, repeat the process for a few more seconds.
- Turn the garment inside out, if possible, and press the iron on the reverse side of the fabric directly behind the patch to improve adhesion.
- Allow the patch and garment to cool completely before wearing or handling.
Additional Attachment Recommendation
For enhanced durability, especially on frequently washed items or high-movement areas, it is recommended to sew around the edges of the patch after the iron-on process. A simple straight stitch or zigzag stitch along the border can help secure the patch and extend its lifespan.

Care and Maintenance
- Washing: For best results, turn the garment inside out before washing. Use a gentle cycle with cold or lukewarm water.
