Compatible Surfaces and Uses
This custom embroidered sloth balloon patch is designed for a variety of fabric surfaces, including:

- Cotton and cotton-blend hoodies or sweatshirts
- Baseball caps, beanies, and other hats (depending on material)

It is best applied to fabrics that can safely withstand medium to high heat from an iron. Very delicate, stretchy, or heat-sensitive materials may not be suitable for iron-on application.
How to Use: Iron-On Application Instructions
Follow these steps for applying the sloth balloon patch with an iron:
- Preheat your iron to a high temperature appropriate for the garment fabric. Ensure the steam function is turned off.
- Place the garment or accessory on a flat, heat-resistant surface, such as an ironing board.
- Position the patch with the embroidered side facing up and the adhesive backing against the fabric, in the exact location where you want it permanently attached.
- Cover the patch with a thin pressing cloth, cotton towel, or piece of fabric to protect the embroidery from direct heat.
- Press the heated iron firmly onto the covered patch for approximately 15–30 seconds, applying even pressure over the entire design.
- Carefully lift the iron and allow the area to cool slightly, then turn the garment inside out if possible.
- Press the iron on the reverse side of the fabric where the patch is located for another 15–30 seconds to strengthen the bond.
- Allow the patch and fabric to cool completely before wearing or using the item.
Additional Security: Sewing Recommendation
For the most secure, long-lasting attachment, especially on frequently washed items or high-movement areas, it is recommended to stitch around the edge of the patch after ironing it on. A simple straight or zigzag stitch near the border will help the patch stay firmly in place over time.
