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.
