Can I use these on delicate fabrics?

How should I clean items with these patches sewn on?

Troubleshooting
Patch not staying attached
Ensure you have used sufficient stitches around the entire edge of the patch. Consider using a stronger thread or a double stitch for added security, especially on items that are washed frequently.
Thread is pulling or bunching
Check your sewing machine tension or adjust your stitch length if hand-sewing. Ensure you are using a needle appropriate for the fabric thickness.
Fabric puckering around the patch
Use a finer needle and ensure your stitches are not too tight. Stabilizing the fabric with a temporary adhesive or interfacing before sewing can also help prevent puckering.
