FAQs

Are these patches reusable after ironing?

Once ironed on, the adhesive is permanent. For reuse, they would need to be carefully removed (potentially damaging the fabric) and re-sewn.

Can I cut the patches to a different size or shape?

Yes, you can cut the patches to your desired size or shape using sharp fabric scissors. Be aware that cutting may remove some of the pre-punched holes, requiring you to create new ones for sewing if needed.

What is the recommended way to attach the patches?

Both ironing and sewing are viable methods. Sewing provides a more durable and permanent attachment, especially for high-wear areas. Ironing offers a quicker application.

How many patches come in a pack?

Each pack contains two navy blue cotton patches.

What material are the patches made of?

The patches are made of 100% cotton.

Can I use these on delicate fabrics?

These patches are best suited for sturdier fabrics like cotton and denim. For very delicate materials, it is recommended to use the sewing method cautiously or consider alternative mending techniques.

What is the maximum washing temperature recommended?

The maximum recommended washing temperature is 40°C.

Troubleshooting

Patch not sticking after ironing.

Ensure the iron was hot enough and applied with sufficient pressure for the recommended time. Check that the fabric is suitable for iron-on application. Try ironing again, potentially for a slightly longer duration, and ensure the patch has cooled completely before use.

Sewn patch feels loose.

Reinforce the stitching by going over it again, or use a stronger thread. Ensure stitches are made through both the patch and the fabric.

Patch wrinkles or bubbles during ironing.

Use a pressing cloth or parchment paper between the iron and the patch. Ensure the fabric is flat and taut before applying heat. Avoid excessive movement of the iron.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Easy to apply via ironing or sewing.
  • Durable cotton material withstands regular wear.
  • Pre-punched holes simplify sewing for a secure fit.
  • Versatile navy blue color matches many garments.
  • Good size for common repairs and decorations.

Cons

  • Primarily suited for woven fabrics; may not adhere well to stretchy materials.
  • Iron-on adhesion might require reinforcement for high-stress areas.
  • Color may not match all specific shades of navy.
  • Requires cutting if a custom shape is desired.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Application:

  1. Preparation: Ensure the fabric area is clean, dry, and free of wrinkles. Place the patch (ironing side down if using iron-on) on the desired location.
  2. Iron-On Method: Set your iron to a cotton setting (no steam). Place a cloth or parchment paper over the patch. Press the iron firmly on the patch for approximately 10-15 seconds. Allow to cool completely before testing adhesion.
  3. Sewing Method: Use the pre-punched holes as guides. Thread a needle with strong thread and stitch around the edges of the patch. A running stitch or a backstitch will provide secure attachment.

Compatibility:

These patches are best suited for woven fabrics such as cotton, denim, canvas, and linen. They may not adhere effectively to very thin, synthetic, or highly stretchy materials like lycra or certain knits.

Care:

  • Washable up to 40°C.
  • Do not bleach.
  • Iron on the reverse side if necessary.
  • Avoid high-temperature drying to maintain adhesion and fabric integrity.
