WHAT’S AN IRON-ON?
Our embroidery patches are iron-on style, which means you use an iron to affix your patch to your garment, fabric, or bag.
I DON’T KNOW HOW TO IRON THE EMBROIDERY ON?
Not to worry! Here’s the instructions.
- Pre-wash fabric of choice, without fabric softeners.
- Heat iron to medium heat
- Place iron-on, adhesive side down, on fabric of choice.
- Working in sections, press & hold the iron down, until entire iron-on is bonded for the allotted time.
- Pressing times
- Light weight: 6 seconds
- Medium weight: 8 seconds
- Heavier weight: 8 seconds; turn over, press for another 2 seconds on back side
- Allow iron-on to cool entirely before moving or picking up fabric
- For added stability, especially on thinner fabrics, affix fusible interfacing on back side of fabric where iron-on was affixed.
HOW LONG WILL THE IRON-ON LAST?
While the iron-on backing is permanent, no adhesive is truly permanent. Wear and wash will affect the iron-ons over time.
There are ways you can keep your iron-on lasting longer: washing on delicate cycle; and air drying when possible. But we know that does not work for everyone so drying on low heat in the dryer will work too.
MY IRON-ON IS PEELING?
It is natural for the iron-on to peel with wear and tear. However, if it is still newer, check to see if the adhesive is till there. Attempt to iron it back on as if you were adding it new. This usually should resolve the peeling.
CAN I WASH MY IRON-ON?
Yes, of course! We recommend washing on delicate cycle; and air drying when possible. But we know that does not work for everyone so drying on low heat in the dryer will work too.
