Materials and Construction Quality

- Dense stitching pattern that enhances the texture and clarity of the rainbow sun design
- Heat-activated iron-on backing that adheres to many fabric types under high temperature

Approximate Size and Dimensions
This rainbow sun patch is available in approximate sizes ranging from 3 inches to 10 inches (7.6 cm to 25.4 cm), depending on the selected design style or variation. Common size options include:
- Small: around 3–4 inches wide – ideal for hats, shirt fronts, and small bags
- Medium: around 5–7 inches wide – suitable for jacket fronts, backpacks, and tote bags
- Large: around 8–10 inches wide – designed for jacket backs, vests, and statement placements
The exact size may vary slightly due to design proportions and embroidery borders.
Weight and Thickness
- Light to medium weight, suitable for most clothing fabrics
- Moderate thickness due to layered embroidery, providing a raised, textured look without being overly stiff
How to Use the Iron-On Patch
This rainbow sun patch is designed for iron-on application and can also be sewn for additional security. Basic iron-on instructions:
- Preheat a household iron to a high temperature suitable for cotton or similar fabrics. Disable the steam function.
- Place the garment or fabric item on a firm, heat-resistant, flat surface.
- Position the patch with the embroidered side facing up and the adhesive backing against the fabric in the desired location.
- Cover the patch with a thin cloth or pressing cloth to protect the embroidery from direct heat.
- Press the iron firmly onto the covered patch for approximately 15–30 seconds, applying steady pressure without moving the iron excessively.
- Allow the surface to cool slightly, then turn the garment inside out (if possible).
- Press the backside of the patch area with the iron for another 15–30 seconds to help the adhesive bond more securely.
- Let the garment cool completely before wearing or handling extensively.
For best results, ensure the fabric is clean, dry, and heat-tolerant. Some delicate or synthetic fabrics may not be suitable for high-temperature ironing.
Recommended Sewing for Extra Durability
Although the iron-on backing provides adhesion, sewing around the edges is recommended to maximize durability, especially for items that will be washed frequently or subjected to outdoor use. The patch can be secured with a straight or zigzag stitch along the outer border using a standard sewing machine or by hand stitching with matching or clear thread.
