Product Information
Full details
The Craft Factory Dancing Penguin patch (CFM116) is designed for DIY enthusiasts and crafters looking to add a playful, custom aesthetic to their textiles. Its primary benefit is the versatile dual-application method, allowing users to choose between a quick iron-on fix or a durable stitched finish; however, users should note that iron-on adhesion can be less effective on synthetic heat-sensitive fabrics, where sewing is strongly recommended for longevity.

FAQs
Can I use this patch on synthetic fabrics like polyester?
Iron-on application can melt certain synthetics. It is recommended to sew the patch onto these materials instead of ironing.
Is the patch safe to put in a tumble dryer?
While the patch is wash-durable, tumble drying on high heat may weaken the adhesive. Air drying is recommended to extend the life of the patch.
Do I need a special sewing machine to attach it?
No, it can be easily attached by hand with a basic needle and thread, or with any standard sewing machine using a zigzag or straight stitch.
Will the colors fade in the sun or water?
The high-quality embroidery thread is colorfast for standard usage at 40 degrees Celsius.
Can I move the patch once it is ironed on?
Once the adhesive has been heat-activated, it creates a permanent bond. Removing it may leave residue or damage the original fabric.
Troubleshooting
Patch edges are curling after ironing
Re-apply heat to the edges while applying firm pressure, or secure the lifting areas with a few discreet hand stitches.
Patch fell off after one wash
The heat setting or duration was likely insufficient. Re-attach the patch using a higher heat setting or add permanent fabric glue/stitching for better adhesion.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Suitable for a wide variety of fabrics like denim, cotton, and canvas

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To apply the patch using the iron-on method, place the motif on a clean surface, cover it with a thin pressing cloth to protect the embroidery, and apply firm, steady pressure with a dry iron set to medium-high for 30 seconds. Allow the fabric to cool completely before testing the bond. For sewing, a standard sewing needle and matching polyester thread are recommended. Always ensure the garment is turned inside out or the patch is protected when washing to preserve the embroidery detail. Avoid using harsh chemical bleaches as they may discolor the patch threads.
