How to Use: Iron-On Application
This patriotic eagle flag patch is designed for simple iron-on installation on many fabric surfaces. For best results, follow these general steps:
- Ensure the garment or fabric surface is clean, dry, and flat.
- Preheat a household iron to a high temperature suitable for cotton (check your garment’s care label). Turn off any steam function.
- Position the patch with the adhesive side down on the desired location.
- Place a thin pressing cloth, cotton fabric, or parchment paper over the patch to protect the embroidery.
- Press the iron firmly onto the covered patch for about 15 to 30 seconds, applying even pressure.
- Allow the patch to cool briefly, then turn the garment inside out if possible.
- Press the iron on the reverse side of the fabric where the patch is located for another 15 to 30 seconds to reinforce the bond.
- Allow the garment to cool completely before wearing or handling extensively.
Optional Sewing for Extra Security
For garments that will be washed frequently or exposed to heavy use, adding stitching around the edges of the patch is recommended:
- Use matching or clear thread for a subtle finish, or contrasting thread for a decorative effect.
- Sew by hand with a sturdy needle or use a sewing machine with an appropriate needle for the fabric.
- Stitch close to the patch’s edge all the way around to secure it firmly in place.
