FAQs
Can I use steam when ironing this patch?
It is recommended to use a dry iron only to ensure the adhesive melts evenly without moisture interference.
Will the colors fade in the wash?
The patch is designed to be colorfast; washing inside-out at 40°C or lower will keep the colors vibrant.
Can this be applied to leather?
No, heat-activated adhesive is not suitable for leather as it may damage the material. Sewing is recommended for leather items.
What is the best way to remove it?
Iron-on patches are generally permanent. Attempting to remove them may leave adhesive residue on the garment.
Do I need a special tool for application?
A standard household iron is sufficient for the application process.
Troubleshooting
Patch edges peeling off
Re-apply heat with the iron for another 30 seconds or use a needle and thread to secure the edges permanently.
Patch won't stick to fabric
Ensure the fabric is not heat-sensitive or moisture-wicking synthetic; if it is, consider using fabric glue or sewing it on instead.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To apply the patch, ensure your fabric is clean and dry. Set your iron to the cotton setting (no steam). Place the motif in your desired location and cover it with a thin pressing cloth to protect the embroidery. Apply firm pressure with the iron for 30-45 seconds. Allow the patch to cool completely before testing the bond. For added security, especially on bags or heavily used items, we recommend using a needle and thread to sew a few anchor stitches around the edges. To clean, always turn the garment inside out or use a laundry bag to protect the embroidery from snagging.
