Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Prepare the fabric: Ensure the area to be patched is clean and dry.
- Position the patch: Place the patch (adhesive side down) over the worn or damaged area. For best results, iron on the *inside* of the garment first if repairing a tear.
- Iron the patch: Cover the patch with a damp cloth or a pressing cloth. Press with a hot iron (cotton setting, no steam) for approximately 10-15 seconds.
- Sew (Recommended): For maximum durability and a professional finish, sew around the edges of the patch. Use a needle and thread suitable for denim.
Compatibility:
These patches are suitable for use on most cotton-based fabrics, particularly denim. They are not recommended for delicate fabrics or synthetic materials that cannot withstand high ironing temperatures.
Care:
Wash the garment with the applied patch in a washing machine at a temperature up to 40 degrees Celsius. Tumble dry on low or air dry. Avoid using bleach.
