Application and How to Use
The Our Lady of Guadalupe patch is designed primarily as an iron-on patch, with the option to sew for additional security.
- Recommended surfaces: cotton, denim, canvas, and other sturdy, heat-tolerant fabrics.
- Not recommended for: highly stretchy, delicate, waterproof, or heat-sensitive materials.
Iron-On Application Instructions
- Set a household iron to a high temperature suitable for the fabric (typically cotton or high heat). Turn off steam.
- Place the garment or item on a flat, heat-safe surface.
- Position the patch with 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.
- Press the iron firmly over the covered patch for approximately 15–30 seconds, applying consistent pressure.
- Allow the patch to cool briefly, then turn the garment inside out (if possible).
- Press the reverse side of the fabric behind the patch for another 15–30 seconds to help secure the bond.
- Let the garment cool completely before wearing or handling extensively.
Sewing for Extra Durability
- For items that will be washed frequently or exposed to heavy use, sewing the patch is recommended.
- After ironing, use a needle and strong thread to stitch around the edges of the patch.
- A straight stitch or small zigzag stitch can be used to reinforce the border.
- Sewing is especially useful for thicker fabrics like denim jackets, vests, and backpacks.

Care and Maintenance
- Turn garments inside out before machine washing to reduce abrasion on the embroidered surface.
