FAQs
Can I use these patches on lightweight fabrics?
These are optimized for medium-weight denim and cotton. Using them on very thin fabrics may cause the adhesive to show through or cause the material to sag.
Do I have to sew the patches?
Sewing is optional. The patches feature an adhesive backing for iron-on application, but sewing through the pre-punched holes provides extra security.
Can I trim the patches to fit a smaller area?
Yes, the cotton material can be easily cut with sharp fabric shears to fit your specific repair needs.
Are they safe for the dryer?
While the patches are washable, air drying is recommended to extend the longevity of the adhesive bond.
What is the maximum wash temperature?
These patches are designed to withstand machine washing up to 40 °C.
How many patches are included?
Each pack contains two patches measuring 10 cm x 14 cm.
Troubleshooting
Patch edges peeling off
Re-apply heat with the iron using firm pressure, or secure the corners using a needle and thread through the pre-punched holes.
Adhesive not sticking to fabric
Ensure the garment is free of fabric softener or residue, as these can interfere with the heat-activated adhesive bond.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To apply, place the patch adhesive-side down onto the clean, dry fabric. Use a pre-heated iron set to the cotton/denim setting, applying firm, even pressure for approximately 30 to 60 seconds. Allow the fabric to cool completely for the adhesive to set fully. These patches are compatible with most medium-weight cotton and denim fabrics. For care, turn the garment inside out before washing to reduce surface friction. If the edges begin to lift after many washes, simply re-apply heat with an iron or secure with a few stitches through the pre-punched guide holes.
