What fabrics can I use this on?

The iron-on mending fabric works best on cotton, denim, and similar fabrics. Always test on a hidden area first.

How do I choose the right color?

Can I wash the garment after mending?

Yes, but wait 24 hours after application before washing. Use a gentle cycle and cold water. Avoid high heat.

How do I apply the mending fabric?

What if the fabric comes off in the wash?

Reapply the fabric following the instructions, ensuring correct iron temperature and pressure. Avoid high heat when drying the garment.

Is the mending fabric permanent?

While durable, the longevity depends on the fabric and washing conditions. Proper application and care will ensure the best results.

Can I use this on delicate fabrics?

Troubleshooting

Mending fabric is not sticking.

Ensure the iron is hot enough, and you are applying firm pressure for the correct amount of time. The fabric may also not be compatible with the fabric type.

Fabric is peeling off after washing.

Make sure you have allowed 24 hours before washing. Use a gentle wash cycle and cold water. Avoid high heat when drying. Reapply the fabric if needed.

Color does not match the fabric.

Try to select the closest matching color from the pack. The fabric can also be used as an internal patch if a perfect match is not achievable.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

  1. Preparation: Ensure the fabric to be mended is clean and dry.

  3. Placement: Place the fabric over the damaged area, with the adhesive side down.
  4. Ironing: Use a household iron on a medium setting (check the garment's care label). Apply firm pressure for the recommended time (typically 15-30 seconds). Move the iron slowly over the fabric to ensure even adhesion.
  5. Cooling: Allow the mended area to cool completely before wearing or washing.

Compatibility: This product is compatible with most fabrics suitable for ironing. Always test on a hidden area first, especially on delicate fabrics.

Care: After application, allow 24 hours before washing. Wash the garment inside out, using a gentle cycle and cold water. Avoid high heat when drying to prevent the fabric from detaching.
