FAQs
Does this patch come with an iron-on backing?
No, this is a sew-on patch only and does not feature adhesive backing.
Can I put this patch in the washing machine?
It is strongly recommended to hand-wash your jacket after applying the patch to avoid damaging the graphic or causing the thread to loosen.
What tools do I need to attach it?
You will need sewing pins for alignment, heavy-duty thread, and either a sturdy hand-sewing needle or a sewing machine.
Will this fit on a child's jacket?
The patch is quite large at 36cm by 29cm; it is primarily designed for adult-sized jackets and may be too large for smaller garments.
Is the artwork embroidered or printed?
This patch features a high-quality graphic print designed to replicate the album art faithfully.
Troubleshooting
The edges of the patch are curling after sewing.
Ensure you are using a consistent stitch length around the entire perimeter; add extra stitches at the four corners for better tension.
The thread is fraying around the patch edges.
Use a thicker polyester or nylon thread for better durability and ensure the stitches catch the overlocked border completely.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To attach the patch, it is recommended to use a "whip stitch" or a heavy-duty sewing machine with a denim needle. Start by pinning the patch to the center of your jacket back to ensure alignment before stitching. Once attached, the patch should be cared for by spot cleaning or gentle hand-washing to preserve the vibrancy of the print. Avoid harsh chemical cleaners or high-heat drying, which can cause the fabric to shrink or the print to crack over time. The patch is compatible with most denim, cotton, and heavy-duty canvas jackets.
