How to Use: Iron-On Application Instructions
Follow these general steps for applying the embroidered iron on patch. Always check the garment’s care label and fabric type before application.
- Set your iron to a high temperature suitable for cotton or similar sturdy fabrics. Turn off any steam settings.
- Place the garment on a flat, heat-resistant surface such as an ironing board.
- Position the patch on the desired area with the embroidered side facing up and the adhesive backing against the fabric.
- Cover the patch with a thin cloth, pressing cloth, or cotton fabric to protect the embroidery from direct heat.
- Press the iron firmly on top of the covered patch for approximately 15–30 seconds, applying steady pressure without moving the iron back and forth excessively.
- Allow the area to cool briefly, then turn the garment inside out.
- Iron the reverse side of the fabric behind the patch for another 15–30 seconds to help the adhesive bond more securely.
- Let the garment cool completely before wearing or handling to ensure the adhesive sets properly.
Additional Sewing for Durability
- For garments that will be washed frequently or exposed to heavy use, stitching around the edge of the patch is recommended.
- Use a sewing machine or hand stitch with a strong polyester thread that matches or complements the patch border.
- Sew close to the edge of the patch, ensuring the stitches pass through both the patch and the garment fabric.
Fabric Compatibility
- Works best on medium to heavy fabrics such as denim, cotton, canvas, and similar materials.
- Not recommended for very delicate fabrics, heat-sensitive materials, or items that cannot withstand high ironing temperatures.
- For synthetic fabrics or technical materials, test heat on a small hidden area first or consider sewing the patch without using the iron-on adhesive.
Care and Maintenance
- After application, allow at least 24 hours before washing the garment to let the adhesive cure fully.
- Turn the garment inside out before machine washing to reduce friction on the patch.
- Use a gentle wash cycle with mild detergent when possible.
- Avoid high-temperature dryer settings; line drying or low heat is preferable to preserve the patch and adhesive.
- Do not iron directly over the embroidered surface after application; if needed, cover with a cloth and apply light heat.
