How to Iron on Patches

How to iron on patches is a simple way to personalise clothing, bags, or uniforms without needing a needle and thread. With just a household iron and a few minutes of care, you can securely attach embroidered patches. Follow the step-by-step guide below to ensure your patch is applied neatly and stays in place.

1. Garment should be clean and freshly laundered (including new items).

2. Set iron to "COTTON", no steam, for five minutes.

3. Thoroughly iron area of garment where patch will be placed.

4. Place patch on garment, embroidery facing up.

5. Place cloth or light towel over patch and using a slow circular motion, press firmly for 30 seconds.

6. Turn garment inside out, and iron the back of the patch for 30 seconds.

7. Let cool for one minute. If edge of patch can be lifted, repeat step

6. Permanence of application guaranteed by sewing.

Do NOT use on un-ironable fabrics (low melting point) such as nylons, vinyls or leathers.

Do NOT bleach.

*The iron-on glue needs to cool before you finally test how successful the application is.*
