How to Use the Patch (Iron-On Instructions)
The patch can be applied at home using a standard household iron on fabrics that tolerate high heat. For fabrics that are heat-sensitive or for gear that will experience heavy use, sewing is recommended either alone or in combination with ironing.
- Set the iron to a high temperature appropriate for the garment (usually cotton or cotton blend setting). Turn off any steam setting.
- Place the garment or item on a flat, heat-resistant surface.
- Position the patch in the desired location, adhesive side down against the fabric.
- Cover the patch with a thin pressing cloth or piece of cotton fabric to protect the embroidery.
- Press the heated iron firmly over the covered patch for approximately 15–30 seconds without moving the iron around excessively.
- Turn the garment inside out, if possible, and press from the back side for another 15–30 seconds to enhance the bond.
- Allow the patch and garment to cool completely before wearing or handling extensively.
Note: Different fabrics respond differently to heat. Always check the garment’s care label and test a small, inconspicuous area first. For items like technical fabrics, leather, or heavily textured surfaces, sewing is generally preferable.
Sew-On Application
For maximum durability, especially on frequently washed items or heavy-use gear, sewing the patch is recommended. Sewing can be done by hand or with a sewing machine.
- Place the patch in the desired position and secure it with fabric pins or temporary fabric tape.
- Use a strong polyester or nylon thread that matches the patch border or garment color.
- Sew around the edge of the patch using a straight or zigzag stitch, keeping stitches close to the border.
- Ensure the patch lies flat without puckering or gaps.

Care and Maintenance
Proper care helps maintain the appearance and attachment of the patch over time.
- If the patch is ironed on only, wash the garment in cool or warm water on a gentle cycle to reduce stress on the adhesive bond.
- Turn garments inside out before washing to protect embroidered surfaces.
- Avoid high-temperature drying; air drying or low-heat tumble drying is gentler on the patch and garment.
- Do not use bleach or harsh chemicals directly on the patch.
- If edges begin to lift after extended use, secure them by sewing around the border.
