Materials and Construction Quality
- Face Fabric: Durable woven or twill base fabric designed to hold embroidery securely and resist fraying.
- Embroidery Thread: High-quality polyester or rayon threads with a smooth finish and colorfast properties, helping the patch maintain its color over time with proper care.
- Backing: Heat-activated iron-on backing that adheres to most suitable fabrics when applied with proper heat and pressure.
- Edges: Overlocked or merrowed border to create a clean outline and reduce edge fraying.
The patch is constructed using machine embroidery for consistent detailing, crisp lettering, and defined shapes. The layered stitching adds texture and depth, giving the American Pride 250 Years design a raised, tactile appearance.

The Custom Embroidered American Pride 250 Years Patch is typically produced in sizes ranging from approximately 3 inches to 10 inches, depending on the design selected. Common approximate dimensions include:

How to Use and Apply the Iron-On Patch
The American Pride 250 Years iron-on patch is designed for use on fabrics that can tolerate medium to high heat, such as cotton and some polyester blends. Always test a small area of the garment if you are unsure about heat tolerance.
Suggested iron-on application steps:
- Set a household iron to a high temperature appropriate for the garment fabric (typically “cotton” setting) and turn off any steam functions.
- Place the garment or accessory on a flat, heat-resistant surface.
- Position the patch with the embroidered side facing up and the adhesive side against the fabric in the desired location.
- Cover the patch with a thin pressing cloth or cotton fabric to protect the embroidery from direct heat.
- Press the iron firmly onto the covered patch for approximately 15–30 seconds, applying steady pressure. Do not move the iron back and forth.
- Allow the patch and fabric to cool for several seconds, then carefully check if the edges are securely attached.
- Turn the garment inside out and press the reverse side of the patch area for an additional 15–30 seconds to enhance the bond.
- Let the garment cool completely before wearing or handling extensively.
For fabrics that are sensitive to high heat, consider sewing the patch on instead of using the iron-on method, or use a lower heat setting and increase pressing time with caution.
Additional Attachment Recommendation
For maximum durability, especially on heavily used items such as motorcycle jackets, work vests, or backpacks, it is recommended to sew the patch around the edges after ironing it on. This combination of adhesive and stitching can help the patch stay firmly in place through frequent movement and cleaning.

Care and Maintenance
To maintain the appearance and adhesion of the embroidered patch, follow general care guidelines:
- When possible, turn garments with patches inside out before washing.
- Use gentle wash cycles with mild detergent and cool or warm water, depending on the garment’s care instructions.
- Avoid bleach and harsh chemicals, as they may affect thread colors and fabric.
- Air drying is recommended. If using a dryer, select a low-heat setting.

- If edges begin to lift over time, re-press with an iron using a protective cloth, or secure with stitching.
