<p><strong>How to Iron on a Patch</strong><br /> </p> <p>1.Lay the base item on a flat, heat-resistant surface. To ensure the item will provide a good surface for the patch, iron it first. <br /> 2.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. <br /> 3.Heat up an iron. Turn it to the hottest setting your fabric can tolerate. DO NOT USE STEAM DURING APPLICATION! Make sure the &quot;steam&quot; option is turned off, and that your iron isn't full of water. <br /> 4.Place a thin towel over the patch. Take care not to disturb the position of the patch. The towel will protect the patch itself and the surrounding fabric. <br /> 5.Position the heated iron over the patch and press down. Hold the iron there for about 15 seconds. Apply as much pressure as you can by pressing down firmly. <br /> 6.Remove the iron and allow the patch to cool. Lift the towel and check to see whether the patch is fixed on securely by gently rubbing at the edge with a finger, trying to lift it. If it lifts up a bit, replace the towel and press it with the iron again for 10 seconds. </p> <p><br /> <strong>Caring for Your Patch </strong><br /> Consider sewing around the edges. For a completely secure patch, use a sewing machine or a needle and thread to secure the patch to the fabric. This greatly reduces the chances that the patch will fall off. Just a few well-placed stitches around the edges and on any fragile &quot;points&quot; will go a long way to ensure your creation with withstand a lifetime of wear and laundering. </p> <p><br /> <strong>Warnings </strong><br /> Be very careful with polyester fabrics, since applying the high heat necessary for ironing on patches can burn the fabric or cause it to get discolored. <br /> Silk and other delicate fabrics are not good candidates for patches. </p> </p>
