Troubleshooting

Patch is not sticking securely

Ensure you have used a strong thread and sewn through the fabric of the patch and the base material. Go over the edges with additional stitches, focusing on any loose areas.

Thread is pulling or puckering the fabric

Use a finer needle and thread. Ensure the tension on your sewing machine (if used) is not too tight. Try hand-sewing with smaller stitches for more control.

Design colors fading after washing

Wash the item in cold water and on a gentle cycle. Avoid harsh detergents. Air dry the item instead of using a high heat dryer.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: To apply the Craft Factory Patch Motif Snail, position it on the desired fabric surface. Use a needle and thread that matches your fabric or the patch's design to sew around the edges of the patch. Ensure stitches are small and secure for best results.

Compatibility: This patch is compatible with most common fabrics such as cotton, denim, canvas, and felt. It is best suited for items that can be easily sewn, like clothing, bags, and craft projects. Avoid applying to very thin, stretchy, or delicate materials where stitches might cause damage or distortion.

Care: After application, the patch can generally be washed with the item it's attached to. It is recommended to wash on a gentle cycle with cold or warm water. To prolong the life of the patch and prevent fraying, consider hand washing or placing the item in a mesh laundry bag. Air drying is preferable, but if machine drying, use a low heat setting.
