Materials and Construction Quality
The Wyoming Indian paintbrush embroidered patch is made with durable base fabric and high-quality embroidery threads. The densely stitched design provides a textured surface that clearly shows the floral details and stamp-style frame.
- Base fabric: Woven textile backing designed to support dense embroidery and maintain its shape over time
- Embroidery thread: Colorfast polyester threads chosen for clarity, color stability, and resistance to normal wear
- Adhesive layer: Heat-activated glue on the back of the patch for iron-on application
- Stitch density: Tight stitching for crisp lettering, defined outlines, and detailed flower petals and leaves
This construction helps the patch retain its form and color when used on frequently handled items like jackets or backpacks, especially when combined with careful sewing at the edges after ironing.

- Large sizes (around 8–10 inches): Typically suited to jacket backs, gear bags, or display panels
Exact measurements can be chosen or verified according to the specific variation offered, allowing customization to the intended garment or accessory.
How to Use and Apply the Iron-On Patch
The patch is designed for iron-on application on suitable fabrics. It can also be sewn for added durability, especially on heavily used items.
Recommended iron-on application steps:
- Place the garment or fabric on a flat, heat-resistant surface.
- Preheat a household iron to a high temperature appropriate for the fabric (no steam).
- Position the Wyoming Indian paintbrush patch on the desired area, adhesive side down.
- Cover the patch with a thin pressing cloth or cotton fabric to protect the embroidery.
- Press firmly with the iron for about 15–30 seconds, applying even pressure over the entire patch.
- Allow the patch and garment to cool slightly.
- Turn the garment inside out and press the back side of the patched area for additional bonding, again for about 15–30 seconds.
- Let the garment cool completely before wearing or handling extensively.
Sewing for extra hold: For items that will be washed often or subject to heavy movement (such as workwear, outdoor gear, or school backpacks), stitching around the edge of the patch after ironing is recommended to enhance long-term attachment.
