FAQs

What material are these patches made from?

The patches are made from microfibre suede, designed to replicate the look of natural suede.

What are the dimensions of each patch?

Each patch measures approximately 13 x 8.5 cm.

Can I use these patches on any type of clothing?

They are ideal for children's garments made from materials like cotton or denim. Avoid using them on delicate fabrics like silk or waterproof materials.

How do I wash clothes with these patches applied?

You can machine wash them at up to 30°C or dry clean them. For best results, turn the garment inside out before washing.

Do I need to sew the patches on?

No, these are iron-on patches, meaning they adhere to fabric with heat from an iron.

How long does the adhesion last?

With proper application and care, the adhesion is durable and designed to withstand multiple washes.

What is the color of the patches?

The patches are a light grey color.

Troubleshooting

Patch not adhering properly

Ensure the iron was hot enough and applied for the recommended time. Reapply heat, ensuring good pressure and a protective cloth over the patch. Check that the fabric is clean and dry before application.

Fabric damaged during application

The iron temperature may have been too high for the fabric. Use a lower heat setting and a protective cloth. Ensure the fabric is suitable for ironing before proceeding.

Patch peeling after washing

Ensure the patch was applied correctly with sufficient heat and pressure. Try reapplying the patch following the setup instructions. Washing at a higher temperature than recommended or excessive tumbling can also affect adhesion.

Color transfer to garment

This can occur if the patch is not fully set or if washed with light-colored items immediately after application. Ensure the patch is fully adhered and allow it to set for 24 hours before the first wash. Wash with similar colors.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the fabric area is clean and dry.

  4. Cover the patch with a thin piece of cloth or baking paper to protect it.
