Product Information
Full details
The Craft Factory Shark Iron-On Motif is designed for DIY enthusiasts and crafters looking to personalize apparel or accessories with a fun, eye-catching embroidered design. Its primary benefit is the versatile dual-application method that allows for either a quick heat-set bond or a more secure, permanent sewing option, though users should ensure their fabric choice can withstand the necessary iron temperatures before application.

FAQs
Can I use this on leather?
Ironing is not recommended on leather as the heat will damage the material; it should be sewn on instead.
Is the patch machine washable?
Yes, it is machine washable, but turning the garment inside out is recommended to maintain the patch's integrity.
Do I need to use steam when ironing?
No, it is best to iron on a dry setting to ensure the adhesive melts correctly.
Can I use this on stretchy fabrics?
It is better to sew the patch onto stretchy fabrics, as ironing on a stretch-knit may cause the patch to pucker or come loose.
What if I make a mistake during placement?
Once the adhesive has been heat-set, it is difficult to remove. Ensure you are happy with the placement before applying heat.
Troubleshooting
The patch is peeling off after ironing.
Re-apply heat with the iron, ensuring you are applying firm pressure and that the adhesive has fully melted.
The patch doesn't stick to the fabric.
Ensure the fabric is not heat-resistant or coated with a water-repellent finish that prevents adhesion.
Pros and Cons

- High-quality embroidered finish

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To apply the motif, first set your iron to the cotton setting without steam. Place the shark patch in the desired location and cover it with a pressing cloth to protect the embroidery. Apply firm, downward pressure for 30 seconds, then allow it to cool completely before testing the bond. For maximum durability, especially on high-friction items, use a needle and thread to whip-stitch the edges. Always turn garments inside out before machine washing to prevent the patch from catching or peeling.
