How to Use: Iron-On Application Instructions
The patch includes an iron-on backing to attach it to most cotton, denim, or polyester-blend fabrics. Always check garment care labels before applying heat.
- Set a household iron to a high temperature suitable for cotton or linen. Turn off the steam function.
- Place the garment or fabric on a flat, heat-resistant surface.
- Position the Texas longhorn patch in the desired location with the embroidered side facing up and the adhesive side against the fabric.
- Cover the patch with a thin cloth, pressing cloth, or cotton fabric layer to protect the embroidery from direct heat.
- Press the iron firmly over the covered patch for approximately 15–30 seconds, applying steady pressure.
- Allow the area to cool for several seconds, then carefully check one edge of the patch to see if it is securely adhered.
- Turn the garment inside out and press the iron on the reverse side of the patch area for an additional 15–30 seconds to strengthen the bond.
- Allow the garment to cool completely before wearing or handling extensively.
Sewing for Extra Durability
For garments or accessories that receive frequent use or washing, sewing the patch is recommended for additional security.
- After ironing, stitch around the edge of the patch using a sewing machine or hand stitching.
- Use a matching or contrasting thread color depending on the desired appearance.
- Use a straight or zigzag stitch close to the border to help prevent lifting at the edges.

Care and Maintenance
- Turn garments inside out before machine washing when possible to reduce friction on the patch
- Use mild detergent and a gentle or standard cycle according to garment care instructions
- Avoid very high heat drying; tumble dry on low or medium if permitted for the garment
- Do not bleach directly on or around the patch design
- If the patch edges begin to lift over time, reapply heat with a pressing cloth or reinforce by sewing
