Product Information
Full details
The Craft Factory Glitter Plimsoll Iron-On Patch is designed for DIY enthusiasts and crafters looking to add a playful, unique flair to their textile projects. Its primary benefit is its versatile application method, allowing users to either iron it on for quick customization or sew it on for a permanent, high-traffic hold. While it is perfect for personalizing denim, t-shirts, and bags, it is important to note that the glitter finish requires gentle washing to maintain its luster over time.

FAQs
Can I use this patch on leather?
No, the heat required for the iron-on adhesive can damage leather surfaces. Sewing is recommended if you must attach it to leather.
Is it safe to tumble dry?
It is recommended to air dry or use a low-heat tumble setting to protect the embroidery and glitter finish.
Will the glitter fall off?
The glitter is integrated into the embroidery design, but it should be treated with care; avoid harsh scrubbing during wash cycles.
Can I sew this instead of ironing?
Yes, sewing is an excellent way to ensure the patch stays secure, especially on items that will be washed frequently.
Does the patch come with adhesive backing?
Yes, it features a heat-sensitive adhesive backing for easy iron-on application.
Troubleshooting
Patch edges are peeling after ironing
The adhesive may not have fully melted. Re-apply the iron with firm pressure for an additional 30 seconds or use a needle and thread to tack down the loose edges.
Patch does not stick to the fabric
Ensure the fabric is free of fabric softener or moisture. Some synthetic fabrics may require sewing if the heat-activated adhesive does not bond properly.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Application Steps:
- Preheat your iron to a medium setting without steam.
- Place the patch on the fabric in the desired position.
- Cover the patch with a thin pressing cloth to protect the glitter surface from direct heat.
- Apply firm, even pressure with the iron for 30–60 seconds.
- Allow the patch to cool completely before testing the bond.
Compatibility:
This product is best suited for natural and synthetic fibers that can handle moderate heat. Avoid using on delicate materials like silk or synthetic nylons that melt easily.
Care:
To extend the life of your embroidery, turn garments inside out before placing them in the washing machine and use a gentle cycle at 40°C. Avoid tumble drying on high heat.
