How do iron on patches work?
The patches are created using a high-quality laminate which is laminated onto the backing paper, and then fused onto the base fabric by a heat press that bonds the patches to the base material.
The patches are created with a 3-sided design that allows for the patches to be placed on any area of the garment, and the patches are sewn in place with strong thread.
How to iron on patches with heat?
One way to iron on patches is to use a hot iron. Run the iron over the patch in a smooth, circular motion. Be careful not to press too hard as this could leave a dent in the patch or the fabric. Do not press with the patch over any seams. Once the patch is dry, press it in place. If you’re using a vinyl patch, do not press it down too tightly or it may crack.

Be careful not to overheat the patch or the surrounding fabric, though.

To apply patches to your clothes, first cut out the patch from the backing paper. Be careful to cut close to the edge all around.

If you want to make sure you get a perfect fit, press down slightly on the patch as you iron it.
