How to Use – Iron-On Application Instructions
For best results, apply the embroidered skull snake patch to a clean, dry fabric surface that can tolerate high heat (such as cotton or denim). Always check the care label of the garment before applying.
- Step 1 – Preparation: Preheat a household iron to a high temperature suitable for cotton or denim. Turn off any steam function.
- Step 2 – Positioning: Place the garment on a flat, heat-resistant surface. Arrange the patch with the adhesive side down on the desired area.
- Step 3 – Covering: Place a thin cotton cloth or pressing cloth over the patch to protect the embroidery from direct heat.
- Step 4 – Pressing front side: Firmly press the iron onto the covered patch for approximately 15–30 seconds, applying steady pressure without sliding.
- Step 5 – Pressing reverse side: Turn the garment inside out and press the back of the patch area for another 15–30 seconds to enhance adhesion.
- Step 6 – Cooling: Allow the area to cool completely before handling to let the adhesive set properly.
Additional Sewing for Durability
For garments that will be washed regularly or exposed to frequent movement and friction, reinforcing the patch with stitching is recommended. After ironing, you can sew around the edge of the patch with a straight or zigzag stitch using a standard sewing machine or by hand. This combined iron-on and sew-on method helps keep the skull snake applique securely in place over time.
Care and Maintenance
- Turn garments with patches inside out before washing to reduce abrasion.
- Use a gentle or regular cycle with cool or warm water, following the garment’s care label.
- Avoid high heat drying; air-drying or low heat settings help preserve the adhesive and embroidery threads.
- Do not apply direct high heat (such as an iron) to the front of the patch once attached, unless covered with a protective cloth.
- Spot clean delicate areas around the patch if necessary.
