IRON-ON PATCHES: WHAT THEY
ARE Iron-on patches are the best solution for making your clothes unique and personalising them quickly and economically. To attach iron-on patches, there is no need for a needle and thread, just a simple iron, hence the more generic term 'iron-on patches'. The operation is quick and does not require any special skills, making it ideal for personalising and repairing your garments in no time, without compromising on durability. The special formula of the heat-activated adhesive for embroidered patches makes it resistant to any treatment, so you don't have to worry about the maintenance of your personalised garments, which you can wash and iron without any problems. 

The important thing is to follow a few small precautions during application.
Let's discover together all the steps on how to apply iron-on patches and achieve a perfect and long-lasting hold.

HOW TO APPLY IRON-ON PATCHES
First, check the garment's label to find out its composition. Iron-on patches are perfect for cotton and polyester blend fabrics, but are not recommended for use on nylon and delicate materials, which could be damaged by the high temperatures of the iron. The general rule is: if the garment can be ironed, then you can apply iron-on patches. In any case, all is not lost: even if the fabric is not suitable for high temperatures, you can still sew them on using traditional needle and thread. In any case, even when applying iron-on patches, it is always advisable to sew a few stitches at the edges of the embroidered patch to ensure that it lasts longer and withstands washing even better.

After taking these precautions, lay the garment on the ironing board, locate the area where you want to attach the patch and iron it thoroughly to ensure a smooth and even base. Heat the iron to the maximum power available, making sure you have turned off the steam function.

Then place the heat-adhesive part of the patch (i.e. the back) on the fabric, in the exact spot where you have decided to stick it. To protect the embroidery, we recommend that you do not iron the patch directly: you can cover it with a thin cloth, or iron the inside of the garment by turning it inside out so that the heat source is in direct contact between the fabric and the back of the embroidered patch. (This method is highly recommended, especially for ironing on patches).

At this point, all you have to do is hold the iron on the patch area for about 30 seconds, applying as much pressure as you can, and you're done! Remember that the heat-activated adhesive reaches its maximum effectiveness in about 48 hours, so after application, let the customised or repaired garment rest and avoid washing it for a couple of days to allow the glue to 'crystallise' perfectly.

Iron-on patches are suitable for any repair or customisation needs for most garments. Be inspired by the many examples on our website!
