How to Use – Iron-On Application Instructions
This gothic skull and rose patch is designed for easy iron-on use on most fabrics that can withstand medium to high heat. For best results, follow these general steps:
- Ensure the garment or fabric is clean, dry, and flat. Avoid heavily textured or very stretchy materials for iron-on application.
- Preheat a household iron to a high temperature suitable for cotton or similar fabrics. Turn off any steam function.
- Place the garment on a firm, heat-safe surface such as an ironing board.
- Position the patch with the embroidered side facing up and the adhesive side against the fabric in the desired location.
- Cover the patch with a thin cotton 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 even pressure without moving the iron back and forth.
- Turn the garment inside out and press again on the reverse side of the patch area for an additional 15–30 seconds to help the adhesive bond.
- Allow the patch and garment to cool completely before wearing or handling to let the adhesive set.
How to Use – Sew-On Application Instructions
For maximum durability, especially on heavily used garments, outerwear, or items that will be washed frequently, sewing is recommended. The patch can be sewn by hand or with a sewing machine.
- Place the patch in the desired position on the garment and secure it using pins, temporary fabric adhesive, or basting stitches.
- Using a needle and strong thread that matches the patch border or garment, sew around the edge of the patch with small, even stitches.
- Alternatively, use a sewing machine with a straight or zigzag stitch along the edge of the patch.
- Ensure the patch lies flat and the edges are fully secured to prevent lifting or snagging.

Care and Maintenance
- After application, allow the patch to cool completely before washing.
- For iron-on only attachment, gentle washing is recommended. Turn the garment inside out to reduce abrasion on the patch surface.
- Use cold or warm water and a mild detergent. Avoid harsh bleach directly on the patch.
- If using a dryer, choose a low to medium heat setting to protect the adhesive and embroidery threads.
- For sewn-on patches, washing durability is higher, but gentle cycles still help preserve the design.
- If needed, you may lightly press the patch with an iron using a pressing cloth, avoiding excessive heat.
