How to Use and Apply the Iron-On Patch
This reborn gothic cross patch is designed for iron-on application on most fabrics that can tolerate high heat, such as cotton, denim, and some blends. For materials that are delicate, heat-sensitive, or textured (such as leather or nylon), sewing or professional application is recommended instead of heat bonding.
Iron-On Application Instructions
- Preheat a household iron to a high temperature setting appropriate for the garment (usually “cotton” or “high,” with no steam).
- Ensure the garment surface is flat, clean, and dry.
- Position the patch with the embroidered side facing up and the adhesive side against the fabric in the desired location.
- Place a thin cotton cloth or pressing cloth over the patch to protect the embroidery and fabric from direct heat.
- Press the iron firmly onto the covered patch for about 15–30 seconds, applying even pressure without moving the iron back and forth.
- Turn the garment inside out and press the iron on the reverse side of the patch area for an additional 15–30 seconds to help fully activate the adhesive.
- Allow the patch and garment to cool completely before wearing or handling heavily.
Optional Sewing for Extra Security
For garments that will be washed frequently or exposed to heavy use (such as riding jackets, workwear, or backpacks), stitching around the patch edge is recommended after the iron-on adhesive has been set. This helps secure the patch over time and provides additional resistance to peeling.

Care and Maintenance
- Washing: Turn the garment inside out before machine washing to reduce friction against the patch. Gentle cycle is recommended.
- Water temperature: Cool or warm water is generally safer for both garment and patch; avoid excessively hot washes.
- Drying: Air drying is recommended. If using a dryer, use a low heat setting to help preserve the adhesive bond.
- Ironing after application: If ironing the garment after the patch is attached, place a cloth over the patch and avoid prolonged direct heat.
