Product Information
Full details
The Trimits Gingham Flower Iron-On Patch (CFM113A) is a decorative embroidered motif perfect for DIY enthusiasts and crafters looking to refresh their wardrobe, bags, or accessories with a classic touch. Its primary benefit is the versatile dual-application method, allowing users to choose between a quick iron-on fix or a more permanent sew-on approach. While it offers excellent durability for most cotton and polyester blends, it is important to note that it may not adhere well to heat-sensitive or waterproof synthetic materials, necessitating a sewing-only application in those specific cases.

FAQs
Can I use this patch on silk or delicate materials?
No, the high heat required for the adhesive will likely damage delicate fabrics like silk.
Do I need to remove the patch before dry cleaning?
While the patch is washable, commercial dry cleaning solvents may dissolve the adhesive; sewing is recommended if you intend to dry clean the garment.
Does the patch come with instructions?
The patch is designed for standard iron-on application; follow the heat and pressure guidelines provided in this guide.
Is the patch colorfast?
Yes, the embroidery is designed to be colorfast at standard 40°C wash settings.
Can I apply this to a leather jacket?
The heat from an iron will ruin leather. You must sew the patch onto leather items.
Troubleshooting
Patch is peeling at the edges
Re-apply the iron to the edges using a pressing cloth to reactivate the adhesive, or add a few small stitches to the lifting areas.
Patch will not stick to fabric
Ensure you are not using steam and that the iron is hot enough. If the fabric is synthetic or has a repellent coating, switch to sewing the patch on.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Simple, tool-free application via iron
- Suitable for a wide range of fabrics including denim and cotton
- Washable at 40°C for easy maintenance
- Can be sewn for a more permanent, secure hold
Cons

- Iron-on adhesive may weaken over many years of heavy-duty washing
- Cannot be repositioned once heat-activated
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To prepare your garment, ensure the surface is clean, dry, and flat. For iron-on application, avoid using steam, as moisture can interfere with the adhesive activation. If you choose to sew the patch, use a coordinating thread color and a standard sewing needle to whip-stitch around the perimeter. For garment care, turn your decorated items inside out before placing them in the washing machine to protect the embroidery from snagging during the cycle. Always ensure the patch has completely cooled and cured for 24 hours before the first wash.
