Prepare Your Fabric: Choose a fabric that can handle heat, like cotton or canvas. Make sure the surface is clean, dry, and free from wrinkles. Set Your Iron: Preheat the iron to medium-high heat (usually around 350°F/175°C) with no steam. If your iron has fabric settings, use the "cotton" setting. Position the Patch: Place the patch in your desired spot, embroidery side up. Cover the patch with a thin cloth (like a pillowcase or tea towel) to protect the design. Apply Heat: Press the iron firmly onto the cloth-covered patch for 20-30 seconds without moving it around. Check to make sure the edges of the patch have adhered. Flip and Press: Turn the fabric inside out and iron the back of the patch for another 20-30 seconds to secure it fully. Let it Cool: Allow the fabric to cool completely before handling. Pro Tips: For extra durability, sew around the edges of the patch after ironing. Avoid washing for 24 hours to let the adhesive fully set. When washing, use cold water and avoid high heat in the dryer to keep your patch looking great!
