FAQs
What materials are the repair sheets made of?
Prym Denim Repair Sheets are made of cotton denim.
How do I apply the repair sheet?
Place the patch over the damaged area, cover with a pressing cloth, and apply a hot iron for the recommended time with firm pressure. For best results, consider sewing the patch.
Can I wash the repaired item?
Yes, the patches are washable up to 40 degrees Celsius. However, sewing the patch will increase durability during washing.
Are the repair sheets suitable for all types of fabric?
The repair sheets are designed for denim and other heavy-weight cotton fabrics.
What size are the repair sheets?
Each repair sheet measures 12 x 45 cm.
Can I cut the patches to different shapes and sizes?
Yes, you can cut the patches to fit your specific repair needs or decorative designs.
Do I need to sew the patch on?
While the sheets are iron-on, sewing the edges is recommended for added durability, especially in areas subject to wear and tear.
What colors are available?
The repair sheets are available in a variety of colors to match different denim shades.
Troubleshooting
The patch is not sticking properly.
Ensure the iron is at the correct temperature for cotton. Apply firm, even pressure for the recommended time. Use a pressing cloth to protect the fabric. Consider sewing around the edges for extra hold.
The patch is peeling off after washing.
Sewing the patch to the garment is recommended, especially in high-wear areas. Ensure the iron-on process was done correctly with sufficient heat and pressure.
Color mismatch between the patch and the denim.
Choose a patch color that closely matches your denim. Fading may occur over time with washing, which can help blend the patch.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Preparation: Clean the garment around the area to be repaired. Cut the repair sheet to the appropriate size and shape.
- Placement: Position the patch over the damaged area on the inside or outside of the garment.
- Ironing: Set your iron to the appropriate heat setting for cotton. Place the repair sheet with the adhesive side down on the garment. Cover the patch with a pressing cloth.
- Application: Press the iron firmly onto the patch for the recommended time (follow the manufacturer's instructions on the packaging). Apply even pressure and avoid moving the iron around.
