🔥 How to Iron On (Step-by-Step)

Best applied to cotton, denim, canvas, or similar fabrics.

1. Set your iron to medium heat (cotton setting) and ensure steam is switched off.

2. Lay your item flat on a firm, heat-resistant surface.

3. Position the patch exactly where you want it, adhesive side down.

4. Cover with a thin cloth, tea towel, or baking paper to protect the embroidery.

5. Press the iron firmly onto the patch for 12–15 seconds, keeping the iron still and applying steady pressure.

6. Turn the fabric inside out and press directly behind the patch for another 10–12 seconds to fully activate the glue.

7. Allow everything to cool completely for at least 2 minutes before moving or wearing.

Do not wash for 24 hours after application. For items that flex or are used frequently (bags, sleeves, hats), sewing around the edge after ironing is recommended. Not suitable for nylon or heat-sensitive fabrics unless sewn.

🧵 How to Sew On (Maximum Hold Method)

1. Place the patch in position and secure with pins or temporary fabric glue.

2. Thread a needle with matching or clear thread.

3. Starting from inside the fabric, bring the needle up through the edge of the patch.

4. Stitch neatly around the border using small straight stitches or a zig-zag stitch.

5. Continue until the entire edge is secured.

6. Finish on the reverse side with a tight double knot and trim excess thread.

Sewing offers the strongest attachment and is ideal for backpacks, travel gear, swim bags, or any item that will be washed regularly.
