FAQs
What type of fabric is this repair sheet best for?
This repair sheet is specifically designed for polyester clothing. While it may work on some blends, it is optimized for 100% polyester.
Can I use this on dark-colored clothes?
This particular sheet is navy blue. It will be most discreet on navy garments. For other colors, it may be visible.
How do I wash a garment with the repair sheet applied?
You can machine wash items with the repair applied in water up to 40°C. Avoid bleach and high heat drying.
What temperature should my iron be set to?
For polyester, set your iron to a medium-high heat setting suitable for polyester (typically around 150°C or 3 dots on the iron dial), with the steam function turned off.
How long should I press the iron onto the repair sheet?
Refer to the product packaging for exact timing, but generally, press firmly for 8-15 seconds without sliding the iron.
Can I cut the repair sheet to smaller sizes?
Yes, you can cut the sheet to the required size for your repair. Ensure the piece is slightly larger than the area needing mending.
Is this product suitable for repairing synthetic leather or vinyl?
This product is intended for use on polyester textiles. It is not recommended for synthetic leather or vinyl materials.
Troubleshooting
Repair sheet is not adhering properly.
Ensure the iron was hot enough and applied with sufficient pressure for the recommended time. Check that the fabric is clean and dry. Confirm you are using the correct temperature setting for polyester and that the steam function on your iron was off.
The repair sheet is visible from the outside.
Trim the repair sheet to be slightly larger than the hole or tear, but ensure it is placed on the *inside* of the garment. For very thin fabrics, consider a different repair method or reinforcing with a similar colored thread from the outside.
The repaired area feels stiff.
This is normal for iron-on repairs. Ensure you used the smallest practical piece of the repair sheet needed. Subsequent washes may soften the material slightly.
The repair sheet came off after washing.
Reapply the repair sheet following the instructions carefully, ensuring adequate heat and pressure. Ensure the washing temperature does not exceed 40°C.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

- Cover the sheet with a pressing cloth or a piece of parchment paper to protect your iron.
- Set your iron to the appropriate temperature for polyester (typically around 150°C or 3 dots) and ensure the steam function is *off*.

Compatibility: This repair sheet is specifically designed for polyester fabrics. It is not recommended for use on delicate materials, synthetic blends not primarily composed of polyester, or very thick fabrics where heat penetration might be an issue.
Care: Once applied, the repaired area is washable. Machine wash items with the repair sheet applied in cold or warm water up to 40°C. Avoid using bleach or harsh detergents. Tumble dry on low heat or air dry for best results. Do not iron directly on the repaired area after application.
