Materials and Construction
The “I do what I want” cat patch is made with a sturdy fabric base and high-quality embroidery threads. The backing is designed for iron-on application and adheres to most suitable fabrics when used with proper heat and pressure.
- Base fabric: Durable woven backing that supports dense embroidery and resists tearing
- Embroidery thread: Colorfast polyester or rayon threads for vivid color and resistance to fading
- Backing: Heat-activated adhesive backing suitable for iron-on application
- Border: Satin-stitched edge to give the patch a neat finished look and added durability
This construction allows the patch to maintain its shape and design detail when applied correctly and cared for according to instructions.
Size and Dimensions
The custom embroidered cat patch is available within an approximate size range of 3–10 inches, depending on the chosen design style or variation. This allows it to function as a small accent or a more prominent focal point on a garment or accessory.
- Approximate size range: 3–10 inches (7.6–25.4 cm) on the longest side, depending on selected option
- Shape: Typically rounded or irregular shape following the silhouette of the cat and floral design
- Thickness: Standard embroidered patch thickness, suitable for most jackets, bags, and hats without adding excessive bulk
For exact measurements, refer to the specific size option selected when purchasing. Larger sizes work well on the back of jackets or large backpacks, while smaller sizes can fit on front pockets, hat panels, or smaller bag areas.
How to Use and Apply
The “I do what I want” cat patch is intended for iron-on application to fabrics that can safely be ironed at a high temperature. It can also be stitched on after ironing for increased durability, especially on items that receive frequent washing or heavy use.
Recommended fabrics: Cotton, denim, canvas, and many polyester blends. Avoid very delicate, stretchy, or heat-sensitive materials.
Iron-On Application Steps
- Set your iron to a high temperature suitable for cotton or denim. Turn off steam.
- Place the garment or accessory on a flat, heat-resistant surface.
- Position the cat patch with the adhesive backing against the fabric in the desired location.
- Cover the patch with a thin cotton cloth or pressing cloth to protect the embroidery.
- Press the iron firmly over the covered patch for about 15–30 seconds, applying even pressure.
- Carefully check whether the edges are adhering. If needed, repeat for a few more seconds, avoiding movement of the patch.
- Turn the garment inside out (if possible) and press the back side of the patch area for additional hold.
- Allow the patch and fabric to cool completely before wearing or using.
Optional Sewing for Extra Hold
For items that will be washed frequently or exposed to heavy use (such as backpacks or work jackets), stitching around the edge of the patch is recommended. Use a sewing machine or hand-stitch with a matching or clear thread to secure the borders to the fabric.
