PATCH DIRECTIONS

If you’re here, you must have a patch that you need to …iron on.

Note: Iron-on patches do not generally adhere well to fabrics like leather, nylon, rayon, or waterproof fabric. But they can totally be sewn on to many types of fabrics.

Before proceeding, make sure your fabric is compatible with higher heat/ironing. Also, do not burn yourself. Take proper safety precautions with your iron. Make sure the steam setting is turned OFF.

Step 1: Determine where you want to place the patch

Step 2: Heat iron on med-high and place clothing/bag on ironing board

Step 3: Place patch on desired area (design side up)

Step 4: Cover the patch with a fabric like a cotton sheet, thin towel, or pillowcase (to protect the design and fabric) (do not iron directly onto the patch! do not use wax paper!)

Step 5: Hold iron firmly down on the entire patch for 10 seconds, let cool, and gently check to see if all patch edges are well adhered. If not, repeat this step once more. You may need to increase the heat. Do so slowly. Overheating can melt the patch.

Step 6: Turn patched item inside out (if possible) and repeat steps 4-5

This makes sure that the patch is well adhered.

Step 7: Let everything cool. Remember to turn off the iron!

Important: To extend the life of your patch, do not wash clothing/items with adhered patches in the washing machine. Carefully hand wash.
