Iron-On Application Instructions
The patch is designed primarily for iron-on application on suitable fabrics such as cotton, cotton blends, and some denim. Always test heat on a small hidden area first and follow garment care labels.
- Step 1: Preheat a household iron to a high temperature suitable for cotton. Turn off any steam function.
- Step 2: Place the garment on a flat, heat-resistant surface and ensure the application area is clean, dry, and wrinkle-free.
- Step 3: Position the patch with the embroidered side facing up and the adhesive side against the fabric.
- Step 4: Cover the patch with a thin cotton cloth or pressing fabric to protect the embroidery from direct heat.
- Step 5: Press the iron firmly over the covered patch for approximately 15–30 seconds, applying even pressure without moving the iron back and forth.
- Step 6: Turn the garment inside out, place the cloth over the back of the patch area, and press again for several seconds to strengthen the bond.
- Step 7: Allow the patch and garment to cool completely before wearing or handling.
For fabrics that are heat-sensitive, very thick, or heavily textured, sewing the patch instead of or in addition to ironing is recommended.
Sewing Recommendation for Extra Durability
To increase the longevity of the skeleton guitar patch, especially on frequently washed or heavily used items, sewing is recommended after ironing.
- Use a straight or zigzag stitch around the edge of the patch
- Choose thread that matches either the border or the garment
- Hand sewing or machine sewing can both be used
- Focus on securing all edges and corners to prevent lifting
