How to Use – Iron-On Application Instructions
The patch includes an iron-on backing for simple home application. For best results, follow these general steps:
- Set a household iron to a high temperature suitable for cotton or similar fabrics. Disable any steam settings.
- Place the garment or fabric item on a flat, heat-resistant surface.
- Position the patch with the embroidered side facing up and the adhesive side against the fabric in the desired location.
- Cover the patch with a thin cotton cloth or pressing cloth to protect the embroidery from direct heat.
- Press the iron firmly over the patch area for approximately 15–30 seconds, applying even pressure.
- Allow the fabric and patch to cool briefly.
- Turn the garment inside out and press the reverse side of the patch area for an additional 15–30 seconds to reinforce the bond.
- Let the item cool completely before wearing or handling extensively.
Note: Application times and temperature may vary depending on fabric type and iron settings. Always test on a small inconspicuous area of the fabric if unsure.
Optional Sewing for Added Security
For heavy-duty use or frequent washing, sewing the patch after ironing is recommended. A simple straight stitch or zigzag stitch around the edge can provide additional security, especially on items such as backpacks, workwear, or motorcycle jackets that experience more stress.
Compatible Surfaces
- Recommended for: cotton, denim, canvas, twill, and similar woven fabrics
- Use caution with: delicate fabrics, heat-sensitive materials, or stretch fabrics
- Not ideal for: leather, faux leather, some waterproof or coated materials (sewing is preferred for these surfaces)
