How to Use – Iron-On Application Instructions
This Liberty Bell eagle patriotic badge is designed for easy heat application on compatible fabrics. For best results, follow these steps:
- 1. Prepare the garment: Place the garment or fabric on a flat, heat-resistant surface. Ensure the area where the patch will be applied is clean, dry, and free of wrinkles.
- 2. Set the iron: Preheat a household iron to a high temperature suitable for cotton or denim. Turn off any steam function so that the iron is completely dry.
- 3. Position the patch: Place the embroidered patch with the adhesive side against the fabric in the desired location. Align carefully, especially on symmetrical garments such as jackets and vests.
- 4. Protect the surface: Cover the patch with a thin pressing cloth, cotton fabric, or parchment paper to protect both the patch and the garment from direct heat.
- 5. Apply heat: Press the iron firmly onto the covered patch for approximately 15–30 seconds, applying even pressure without moving the iron back and forth excessively.
- 6. Secure the back: Turn the garment inside out and repeat the pressing process on the reverse side of the fabric for another 15–30 seconds to strengthen the bond.
- 7. Cool down: Allow the patch and garment to cool completely before handling to let the adhesive set.
Optional Sewing for Extra Durability
For garments that will be washed frequently or exposed to heavy use, additional stitching is recommended:
- Use a sewing machine or hand stitch around the edge of the patch with matching or clear thread.
- Focus on securing all outer edges to prevent lifting over time.
- This method is particularly useful for workwear, tactical gear, motorcycle vests, and backpacks.

- Customizable sizing: Available in several sizes to accommodate small accent placements or large statement pieces.

Care and Maintenance
Proper care helps preserve the appearance of the American 250 embroidered patch and the garment it is attached to:
- If possible, turn the garment inside out before washing to reduce friction on the embroidered surface.
- Use a gentle wash cycle with cold or lukewarm water when the fabric allows.
- Avoid high-heat drying; air drying or low-heat tumble drying is preferable to protect the adhesive and threads.
- Do not apply direct high heat from an iron onto the exposed embroidery; if needed, use a pressing cloth and low to medium heat.
- Avoid harsh bleach or strong chemical cleaners on or near the patch.
