How to Use – Iron-On Application Instructions
This USA eagle patch includes a heat-activated adhesive backing for iron-on use. Application results may vary depending on fabric type and iron temperature settings. Always test on a small area if unsure.
- Step 1 – Prepare the surface:
- Choose a clean, dry fabric surface such as cotton, denim, or a cotton blend.
- Lay the garment or item flat on an ironing board or heat-resistant surface.
- Smooth out any wrinkles in the fabric.
- Step 2 – Position the patch:
- Place the patch in the desired location with the embroidered side facing up.
- Check alignment before applying heat.
- Step 3 – Set the iron:
- Preheat the iron to a high temperature suitable for cotton or similar fabrics.
- Turn off the steam function; use a dry heat setting.
- Step 4 – Protect the patch:
- Cover the patch with a thin cloth, cotton pressing cloth, or piece of fabric.
- This helps prevent direct contact between the iron and embroidery threads.
- Step 5 – Apply heat:
- Press the iron firmly over the covered patch area for about 15–30 seconds.
- Apply steady downward pressure without moving the iron back and forth excessively.
- Step 6 – Secure from the back:
- Turn the garment inside out (if possible).
- Press the iron on the reverse side of the patch area for another 15–30 seconds to strengthen the bond.
- Step 7 – Allow to cool:
- Let the garment and patch cool completely before wearing or handling.
- Check the edges to ensure the patch is fully adhered.
Additional Attachment Recommendation
- For garments or accessories that will be washed frequently or exposed to heavy use, sewing around the edge of the patch after ironing is recommended.
- Use a matching or clear thread and a straight or zigzag stitch for extra security.
Compatible Surfaces
- Suitable for: cotton, denim, canvas, and many cotton-blend fabrics
- Use caution with: delicate synthetics or heat-sensitive materials that may be damaged by high iron temperatures
- Not recommended for: leather, some nylon, or very stretchy fabrics using iron-on alone (sewing may be preferred on these surfaces)
