Materials and Quality
This tomato frog embroidered patch is produced using durable base fabric and colorfast polyester thread. The embroidery density is designed to provide solid coverage with minimal gaps, resulting in a smooth surface and well-defined artwork. The use of polyester thread helps the patch resist fading under normal exposure to light and washing when properly applied and cared for.
The backing layer incorporates a heat-activated adhesive, allowing it to bond to many fabric surfaces under the heat and pressure of an iron. When combined with sewing, the patch offers enhanced durability on high-movement areas such as backpack straps, jacket sleeves, or frequently handled bags.
- Polyester embroidery thread for color stability
- Durable fabric base for structural integrity
- Heat-activated glue backing for iron-on application
- Finished edges to reduce fraying
Dimensions and Sizing
The tomato frog patch is offered in a general size range of approximately 3 to 10 inches, measured across its longest side. Specific size can vary by design version, but the patch is intended to be large enough to stand out on garments while remaining practical for everyday use.
- Small sizes (around 3–4 inches): Suitable for hats, shirt pockets, smaller bags, or clustered patch layouts
- Medium sizes (around 5–7 inches): Suitable for jacket fronts, backpack pockets, tote bags, or hoodie chests
- Larger sizes (around 8–10 inches): Suitable for jacket backs, central placement on large bags, or prominent statement designs
The weight of each patch depends on size, but all sizes are designed to be light enough for comfortable wear on clothing while still providing a noticeable, structured embellishment.
How to Use and Apply the Patch
The Custom Tomato Frog Embroidered Patch can be applied with an iron or sewn by hand or machine. The following steps describe a typical iron-on application for cotton or cotton-blend fabrics:
- 1. Prepare the fabric: Place the garment or accessory on a flat, heat-resistant surface. Ensure the area is clean, dry, and free of wrinkles.
- 2. Position the patch: Place the tomato frog patch on the desired location with the embroidered side facing up and the adhesive side against the fabric.
- 3. Cover the patch: Place a thin cotton cloth or pressing cloth over the patch to protect the embroidery from direct heat.
- 4. Heat the iron: Set the iron to a high temperature suitable for the fabric (often “cotton” setting). Turn off steam.
- 5. Apply pressure: Press the iron firmly onto the cloth-covered patch for about 15 to 30 seconds, applying even pressure over the entire patch area.
- 6. Press from the back: Turn the garment inside out (if possible) and press again from the reverse side for an additional 15 to 30 seconds to help the adhesive bond more securely.
- 7. Allow to cool: Let the patch and fabric cool completely before wearing or handling to allow the adhesive to set.
For fabrics that are not suitable for high heat, or for items that will experience heavy use, sewing is recommended. The patch can be sewn around the edges by hand using a sturdy thread or with a sewing machine using a straight or zigzag stitch.

Care and Maintenance
To help maintain the appearance and adhesion of the Custom Tomato Frog Embroidered Patch, follow these general care guidelines:
- Allow the patch to fully cool and set after initial application before wearing or washing.
- If the patch is ironed on only (without sewing), wash the garment in cold or lukewarm water on a gentle cycle when possible.
- Turn garments inside out before machine washing to protect the embroidery from friction.
- Avoid using bleach or harsh chemicals directly on the patch area.
- Air drying is recommended to reduce stress on the adhesive; if using a dryer, use a low-heat setting.
