FAQs
What materials are these patches suitable for?
These patches are designed for medium-weight to light-weight denim and corduroy fabrics. They may also work on other sturdy cotton-based materials.
Can I sew these patches on instead of ironing?
Yes, you can sew the patches on. Many users also choose to sew around the edges after ironing for extra durability.
How many patches are in one pack?
Each pack contains 4 patches, which equates to two pairs.
What are the dimensions of the patches?
The patches measure approximately 8 x 9 cm. They are available in oval and rectangular shapes.
Can I iron these patches on delicate fabrics?
It is not recommended to iron these patches on delicate or synthetic fabrics, as the heat required could damage them. They are best suited for cotton and denim.
What is the maximum washing temperature recommended?
The patches are washable at temperatures up to 40 degrees Celsius.
Are these patches pre-shaped or can I cut them?
The patches come in pre-defined oval or rectangular shapes. While you could theoretically cut them, it might affect the adhesive coating and the intended finish.
Troubleshooting
Patch not sticking securely
Ensure the iron was hot enough and applied sufficient pressure for the recommended duration. The fabric should also be clean and free of any residues. For added security, consider sewing the patch edges.
Fabric feels stiff after application
This is normal due to the adhesive coating. Ensure you are using the correct iron setting and have followed application instructions. The stiffness usually reduces after washing.
Patch came off after washing
The wash temperature may have been too high, or a harsh detergent was used. Reapply the patch following the instructions, ensuring proper heat and pressure, and consider sewing it on for permanent attachment.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Ensure the fabric area where the patch will be applied is clean and dry.
- Pre-heat your iron to the appropriate setting for the fabric (e.g., cotton setting).
- Place the patch on the desired location. If ironing, place a thin cloth or parchment paper between the iron and the patch.
- Press the iron firmly onto the patch for the recommended time (refer to specific product instructions, typically 10-20 seconds).
- For maximum durability, especially on high-stress areas, it is recommended to also sew around the edges of the patch after ironing.
Compatibility:
These patches are best suited for medium-weight to light-weight cotton and corduroy fabrics, particularly denim. They may not adhere well to very thin, delicate, or heavily synthetic materials. Always test on an inconspicuous area if unsure.
Care:
To maintain the integrity of the patch and the garment, wash items with applied patches in cold or warm water (up to 40°C). Avoid using harsh detergents or bleach. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Iron on the reverse side of the fabric if necessary, avoiding direct heat on the patch.
