Ironing Patches:
- Lay your cloth on a flat, heat-resistant surface
like an ironing board. To ensure the item will provide a good surface for the
patch, iron it first. If it's a backpack or another item that's difficult to
iron, do your best to arrange it so that the part of the fabric that will be
receiving the patch is flat against a hard surface.
- Place the patch in the position you chose. The
adhesive side should be flat against the base fabric. Make sure that the patch
isn't crooked. On embroidered patches, the adhesive side is the underside.
- Heat up an iron. Turn it to the hottest setting
your fabric can tolerate. Make sure the "steam" option is turned off.
- Place a thin towel over the patch and be careful
not to move the position of the patch. The towel will protect the patch itself
and the surrounding fabric.
- Position the heated iron over the patch and hold
it there for about 10-15 seconds. Apply as much pressure as you can by pressing
down firmly
