How to Apply – Iron-On Instructions
This Liberty Bell embroidered patch is designed as an iron-on badge and can also be sewn on for additional security.
- 1. Prepare the garment: Place the garment on a flat, heat-resistant surface. Ensure the fabric is clean, dry, and free from wrinkles in the application area.
- 2. Set the iron: Preheat your household iron to a high temperature suitable for cotton or similar sturdy fabric. Turn off any steam function.
- 3. Position the patch: Place the patch adhesive-side down on the desired area. Adjust until it is straight and centered.
- 4. Protect the patch: Cover the patch with a thin pressing cloth or cotton fabric to shield the embroidery from direct heat.
- 5. Apply heat: Press the iron firmly onto the covered patch for approximately 15–30 seconds, applying steady pressure without sliding.
- 6. Secure from the back: Turn the garment inside out and press the iron against the back side of the patch area for another 15–30 seconds to reinforce adhesion.
- 7. Allow to cool: Let the area cool completely before handling to ensure the adhesive sets properly.
Optional Sewing for Extra Durability
For garments that will be washed frequently or exposed to heavy use, adding stitching around the edge of the patch is recommended.
