How to apply your iron-on patch

1. Prepare your garment

Choose a heat-resistant fabric (cotton, denim, linen). Avoid: silk, wool, cashmere, leather, or highly synthetic materials.

2. Position the patch

Place it exactly where you want it, glue side down against the fabric.

3. Protect it

Cover the patch with a thin cloth (like a cotton tea towel) or parchment paper to avoid burning the embroidery.

4. Iron it on Setting: 

High heat, no steam. Press down firmly for 15 seconds without moving the iron.

5. Check the bond

Let it cool slightly and gently lift a corner. If it moves: repeat the process, pressing even more firmly.

6. Reinforce (optional)

Turn your garment inside out and iron the back of the patch for another 10 seconds.

Care Instructions

• Wash inside out, max 30°C (86°F).

• Avoid tumble dryers and high-speed spin cycles.

• Never iron directly on the patch.

Pro Tip

If your fabric is heat-sensitive or if you want a permanent, extra-secure hold, add a few small hand-stitched points around the edges.
