Materials and Construction
- Top layer: High-quality embroidered thread for the moth, wings, and floral elements

Size and Dimensions
The pink moth embroidered patch is produced in sizes ranging approximately from 3 inches to 10 inches, depending on the chosen design style or variation. Typical measurements fall within these ranges:
- Width: Approximately 3–10 inches (7.6–25.4 cm), measured from wingtip to wingtip
- Height: Proportional to width, generally between 2–6 inches (5–15.2 cm)
The exact size may vary slightly due to design details and production tolerances. The patch is flat and lightweight, suitable for use on apparel without adding significant bulk.
How to Use the Iron-On Patch
This floral gothic moth patch includes an iron-on backing for application to fabric surfaces. For best results, follow these general guidelines:
- Ensure the garment or accessory is made from an iron-safe fabric such as cotton, denim, or a cotton blend.
- Place the fabric on a flat, heat-resistant surface.
- Preheat a household iron to a high temperature setting appropriate for the fabric. Turn off any steam settings so that the iron is dry.
- Position the pink moth patch with the adhesive side down on the desired location.
- Cover the patch with a thin cloth, such as a pressing cloth, cotton fabric, or pillowcase, to protect the embroidery.
- Press the iron firmly down on the covered patch for approximately 15–30 seconds, applying steady pressure without sliding the iron.
- Allow the fabric to cool briefly, then turn the garment inside out.
- Press the iron on the reverse side of the fabric where the patch is attached, again for about 15–30 seconds, to help set the adhesive.
- Let the item cool completely before wearing or handling extensively.
Note: Heat settings and times can vary with different irons and fabrics. Always test a small area if you are uncertain about heat tolerance.
Additional Attachment Option
For extra durability, especially on heavily used items such as backpacks, jackets, or bags that will be washed frequently, the patch can be sewn around the edges after it has been ironed on. Hand-stitching or machine-stitching along the border helps secure the patch firmly and reduces the chance of lifting over time.
