How to Apply – Iron-On Instructions
Before application, check that the garment or item is made of a heat-tolerant fabric such as cotton, denim, or a cotton blend. Avoid delicate fabrics that cannot withstand high temperatures.
- Step 1: Preheat a household iron to a high temperature setting suitable for cotton or similar fabrics. Turn off steam.
- Step 2: Place the garment or fabric item on a flat, heat-resistant surface.
- Step 3: Position the patch with the adhesive (shiny) side down on the desired area.
- Step 4: Cover the patch with a thin cloth or pressing cloth to protect the embroidery.
- Step 5: Press the iron firmly onto the covered patch for approximately 15–30 seconds, applying even pressure.
- Step 6: Allow the patch and garment to cool briefly, then turn the garment inside out.
- Step 7: Press the iron onto the back side of the patch area for additional 15–30 seconds to strengthen the bond.
- Step 8: Let the item cool completely before wearing or using.
For maximum durability, especially on items that will be washed frequently or exposed to friction, sewing around the edges of the patch after ironing is recommended.
Sew-On Option
If preferred, the patch can also be applied by sewing instead of or in addition to ironing:
- Use a strong polyester thread in a matching or contrasting color
- Stitch around the outer border of the patch using a straight or zigzag stitch
- Ensure stitches penetrate both the patch edge and the garment for a secure hold
Care and Maintenance
- Turn garments with patches inside out before machine washing
- Use gentle or normal wash cycles with mild detergent
- Avoid very high heat in dryers; low to medium settings are recommended
- Do not bleach directly on or around the patch
- If ironing after application, place a cloth over the patch and use moderate heat
Proper care helps maintain the color, shape, and adhesion of the embroidered wildflower book patch over time.
