How to Use – Iron-On Application Instructions
This floral skull applique includes an iron-on backing for straightforward application to many common fabrics. For best results, follow these general steps:
- Preheat a household iron to a high temperature suitable for cotton or similar fabrics. Turn off the steam function.
- Place the garment or fabric on a flat, heat-resistant surface and smooth out any wrinkles.
- Position the embroidered skull patch in the desired location with the adhesive side down against the fabric.
- Cover the patch with a thin pressing cloth or cotton fabric layer to protect the embroidery from direct heat.
- Press the iron firmly over the covered patch for approximately 15–30 seconds, applying even pressure across the entire design.
- Carefully lift the iron and allow the patch and fabric to cool slightly.
- Turn the garment inside out and press the reverse side of the patch area for another 15–30 seconds to help secure the adhesive bond.
- Let the garment cool completely before wearing or using.
Adhesion results may vary depending on fabric type, temperature, and pressure. Thicker fabrics may require slightly longer pressing time. Avoid using iron-on patches on very delicate, stretchy, or heat-sensitive materials.
Optional Sewing for Extra Security
For maximum durability, especially on items that will be washed frequently or experience heavy wear, additional stitching is recommended after ironing:
- Use a sewing machine or hand-stitch around the border of the patch.
- Select a thread color that matches the patch edge or the garment for a neat finish.
- Secure the corners and any narrow areas to minimize lifting over time.
