APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS FOR USING AN IRON:• Always iron the patch on a firm, flat surface.
• Put the patch on the garment with the embroidery side face up.
• Pre-heat your iron to the "Cotton" setting.
DO NOT USE STEAM.• Cover the patch with a thin cotton cloth, no thicker than a thin tablecloth, to protect the thread embroidery. Press the iron firmly onto the patch and hold for 10-15 seconds. Make sure to apply steady pressure to the iron.
DO NOT move the iron back and forth.• Wait for the patch to thoroughly cool, allowing the glue backing to harden and set.
• If the fabric of the garment is thick, you may need to increase the ironing time.
• Suitable for polyester/cotton fabrics.
•
DO NOT apply the patch to rayon, nylon, triacetate, or waterproof fabrics. This can melt or cause damage to your garment’s fabric.
•
DO NOT place any garment, with an iron-on patch, in a dryer. Some dryers can get very hot and actually melt the glue backing on the patch, causing it to come off, or curl up around the edges. I recommend that you hang your garment and allow it to air dry - naturally.
HELPFUL TIPS:I typically use a heat press to apply this patch to hats and garments.
I like to apply a thin coat of spray adhesive fabric tack glue first, mainly to affix the patch and prevent it from slipping out of the desired location. I use FAST TACK 87
If your patch doesn’t seem adequately glued, reapply the iron and protective cloth for another 10-15 seconds,
For hat press heat application, I have found that setting the temperature to 300 degrees and the timer to 3 minutes works best. Each hat press may vary. Always make sure to put a protective cloth over the patch to prevent burning the thread before pressing the patch to the hat.
