How to Use and Apply
This psychedelic peace symbol patch is designed primarily as an iron-on patch, with the option to sew for added security. It is suitable for flat, heat-tolerant fabrics.
- Recommended surfaces: Denim jackets, cotton jackets, vests, backpacks, canvas bags, hats, caps, work shirts, and similar items.
- Not recommended for: Delicate fabrics that cannot withstand high heat, highly stretchy materials, leather, or materials with waterproof or heat-sensitive coatings (unless sewing only).
Iron-On Application Instructions
- Set a household iron to a high temperature suitable for cotton or similar fabrics. Turn off any steam settings.
- Place the garment or accessory on a flat, heat-resistant surface.
- Position the patch in the desired location with the embroidered side facing up and the adhesive side against the fabric.
- Cover the patch with a thin cloth or pressing cloth to protect the embroidery.
- Press the iron firmly onto the covered patch for approximately 15–30 seconds, applying even pressure.
- Allow the area to cool briefly, then turn the garment inside out if possible.
- Press the iron on the reverse side of the fabric behind the patch for another 15–30 seconds to help the adhesive bond.
- Let the patch cool completely before wearing or using the item.
Sewing for Extra Durability
For garments or accessories that will be washed frequently or exposed to heavy use, additional stitching is recommended.
- After ironing on and allowing the patch to cool, secure the edges with a straight or zigzag stitch using a sewing machine or hand stitching.
- Match the thread color to the patch border or garment for a discreet appearance.
- Sew close to the edge of the patch for a secure attachment without covering the main design.
