FAQs
Can I use these on synthetic fabrics like polyester?
Yes, but use caution. Many synthetic fabrics melt under high heat. If you are unsure, use the sewing method instead of an iron.
Should I wash the garment before applying the patches?
Yes, pre-washing is recommended to remove any sizing or fabric finishes that might prevent the adhesive from bonding correctly.
Is the adhesive permanent?
The iron-on adhesive is designed for durability, but sewing is the only way to guarantee a permanent hold over time, especially with frequent washing.
Can I place these on leather?
Leather is often heat-sensitive and non-porous. It is highly recommended to sew these onto leather rather than using an iron.
What is the best way to clean garments with these patches?
Wash in cold water on a gentle cycle, preferably with the garment turned inside out, and air dry if possible.
Troubleshooting
The patch is peeling off at the edges.
Re-apply the iron with firm pressure for an additional 20 seconds using a pressing cloth, or add small stitches around the border.
The patch won't stick to the fabric.
Ensure the fabric is not heat-sensitive or treated with a water-repellent coating. If the fabric is incompatible, you must use the sewing method.
Pros and Cons

- High-quality embroidered detail

- Compact size works well on tight areas or small accessories
Cons
- Not suitable for heat-sensitive synthetic fabrics
- Iron-on adhesive may weaken after multiple heavy-duty washes

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Before application, ensure the fabric surface is clean and dry. To iron on, place the motif on the garment, cover it with a thin pressing cloth, and apply firm pressure with a dry iron on a medium-heat setting for 20-30 seconds. Do not use steam, as it can interfere with the adhesive. If you prefer to sew, use a needle and thread matching the pink embroidery or a clear monofilament thread. For care, turn the decorated garment inside out before washing on a gentle cycle to preserve the integrity of the embroidery.
