They are suitable for most woven fabrics like wool, denim, and cotton. They are best avoided on very delicate or stretchy materials where sewing might damage the fabric.

Clean with a soft, dry brush for dust. For stains, use a slightly damp cloth sparingly and brush gently when dry. Avoid harsh chemicals.

What color are the patches?

Troubleshooting
Thread is breaking during sewing
Ensure you are using a strong needle suitable for leather or thick fabrics, and that the thread is not frayed. Check that the thread tension on your sewing machine is correctly set.
Patch is not lying flat
Ensure the garment fabric is smooth beneath the patch before sewing. Adjust your stitch length; shorter stitches might help conform the patch better. If using a machine, ensure consistent tension.
Stitching is visible and uneven
Practice your stitching on a scrap piece of fabric first. Use pins to keep the patch perfectly aligned while sewing. Consider using a contrasting thread for a decorative effect if uniformity is challenging.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
These patches are intended for sewing application. Before attaching, position the patch on the garment to ensure desired placement and coverage. Pin the patch in place to hold it steady. Using a strong thread that matches your garment or the patch, carefully stitch around the entire perimeter of the patch. A backstitch or a running stitch can be used for durability. For a cleaner finish, you can use a sewing machine if the fabric and patch thickness allow.
Compatibility:
The Prym Nubuck Leather Elbow Patches are compatible with a wide variety of fabrics, including wool, denim, corduroy, canvas, and thicker cotton blends. They are best suited for garments where sewing is feasible. Avoid using on very delicate fabrics like silk or sheer materials unless reinforced.
Care:
To maintain the appearance of the nubuck leather, avoid excessive moisture. Clean with a soft, dry brush to remove surface dirt and dust. For tougher stains, a slightly damp cloth can be used sparingly, followed by gentle brushing once dry. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners.
