🔥 How to Iron On (Step-by-Step – Detailed Guide)

Best for: Cotton, denim, canvas, polyester blends (avoid delicate, waterproof, stretchy or heat-sensitive fabrics).

Before You Start:

• Make sure the garment is clean and completely dry.

• Set your iron to Cotton setting (approx. 180–200°C).

• Turn OFF steam completely.

• Preheat the fabric area by ironing it flat for 5–10 seconds.

Application Steps:

1. Position the Patch
   Place the patch adhesive side down exactly where you want it.

2. Protect the Patch
   Cover it with a thin cotton cloth, pillowcase, or baking paper to prevent scorching.

3. Apply Firm Pressure
   Press the iron straight down over the patch.

   • Hold firmly for 15–20 seconds.

   • Do NOT move the iron back and forth.

   • Apply strong, even pressure.

4. Focus on Edges
   Lift and reposition the iron over different areas of the patch to ensure full coverage, especially around edges and curves.

5. Flip the Garment Inside Out
   Iron directly onto the back of the patch area for another 15–20 seconds.

6. Cool Down Completely
   Let it cool for at least 5 minutes before touching or testing.

7. Check the Edges
   If any edge lifts, repeat the pressing process with extra pressure.

⚠ For items that will be washed frequently, sewing around the edges after ironing is strongly recommended for maximum durability.

🧵 How to Sew On (For Maximum Strength & Longevity)

Best for: Jackets, backpacks, heavy-use items, children’s clothes, stretch fabrics, or if you want permanent attachment.

You Will Need:

• Needle

• Thread (black or matching green/orange works best)

• Pins or fabric clips

• Scissors

Sewing Steps:

1. Position & Secure
   Pin the patch in place carefully. Make sure it lies flat with no puckering.

2. Choose Stitch Type

   • Whip stitch (over the edge) – most common and neat

   • Running stitch – subtle look

   • Backstitch – extra strength

3. Stitch Around the Border
   Sew close to the outer black embroidered edge.
   Keep stitches small and evenly spaced (about 2–3 mm apart).

4. Reinforce Stress Points
   Add extra stitches around curved areas like flippers and the head.

5. Secure the Thread
   Tie a tight knot inside the garment and trim excess thread.

For heavy items like bags, double stitching is recommended.
