Materials and Construction Quality

The Friend of Cryptids iron on patch is constructed from a sturdy fabric base designed to support dense embroidery without warping. Polyester embroidery threads are used for their resistance to fading, fraying, and everyday wear. The multi-layer stitching creates a textured surface that highlights the cryptid character’s details, such as outlines, facial features, and decorative elements.

• Base fabric: Medium-weight woven fabric chosen for stability and compatibility with iron-on adhesive.
• Embroidery density: High stitch count to provide solid coverage with minimal background showing through.
• Color performance: Threads designed to be colorfast under normal washing and wear conditions.
• Adhesive layer: Heat-activated layer on the back that bonds to most cotton and cotton-blend fabrics when properly applied.

This construction results in a patch that can be used on everyday garments, bags, and accessories while maintaining its shape and color with regular use.

How to Use: Iron-On Application Instructions

For best results, apply the cryptid patch to a clean, dry, and flat fabric surface. It is suitable for many cotton, denim, and canvas items. Avoid delicate fabrics that cannot tolerate high heat.

• 1. Prepare the garment: Lay the jacket, bag, or other item on a hard, heat-safe, flat surface. Ensure the fabric is clean and free of wrinkles.
• 2. Set the iron: Preheat a household iron to a high temperature suitable for cotton or linen. Turn off any steam function.
• 3. Position the patch: Place the Friend of Cryptids patch in the desired location with the adhesive side against the fabric.
• 4. Protect the surface: Cover the patch with a thin pressing cloth, such as a cotton piece of fabric, to protect both the patch and the garment.
• 5. Apply heat: Press the iron firmly onto the covered patch for approximately 15–30 seconds, applying consistent pressure without moving the iron back and forth.
• 6. Secure the back: Turn the garment inside out (if possible) and apply the iron again to the back side of the fabric behind the patch for another 15–30 seconds.
• 7. Allow to cool: Let the patch cool completely before handling the garment. Cooling helps the adhesive set fully.

For added durability, especially on heavy-use items like backpacks or jackets, stitching around the edge of the patch after ironing is recommended. A simple straight or zigzag stitch around the border can help the patch remain securely attached through frequent wear and washing.
