FAQs
Is this patch officially licensed?
Yes, this is an officially licensed David Bowie woven patch featuring the 'Blackstar On White' design.
What is the best way to attach this patch?
The patch features an iron-on fixing. Follow the setup instructions carefully, using a preheated iron with no steam and applying firm pressure for 15-20 seconds.
Can I sew this patch on instead of ironing it?
While designed for iron-on application, you can optionally reinforce it with stitching around the overlocked edge for added security, especially on items that will see heavy use.
What fabrics is this patch compatible with?
It is most compatible with cotton, denim, polyester, and their blends. Avoid very smooth, synthetic, or heavily textured materials.
How do I clean an item with this patch on it?
Wash the item in cold water on a gentle cycle. Avoid bleach and tumble dry on low heat or air dry. Do not iron directly on the patch.
What are the dimensions of the patch?
Please refer to the product packaging or listing for specific dimensions, as they are not provided in the general product description.
What does 'overlocked edge' mean?
An overlocked edge is a type of stitch that secures the edges of the patch, preventing the fabric threads from unraveling and giving it a clean, finished appearance.
Troubleshooting
Patch not sticking properly
Ensure fabric is clean and dry. Increase iron temperature slightly or apply pressure for a longer duration (up to 30 seconds). Ensure steam is off and use a protective cloth between the iron and the patch.
Edges are peeling after washing
Reapply heat to the edges using the iron-on method described in setup, focusing on the border. Consider hand-washing items with applied patches.
Design appears faded or damaged
Avoid direct ironing on the patch. Wash with cold water and mild detergent. Do not use bleach or harsh chemicals.
Patch wrinkles or bubbles
This can occur if the fabric was not smooth during application or if too much heat was applied unevenly. Try to carefully re-iron using the protective cloth, ensuring even pressure and temperature.

- Cover the patch with a thin piece of cloth or parchment paper.

Compatibility:
