Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Determine Placement: Position the shoulder pad inside the garment at the shoulder seam, aligning it with the set-in sleeve.
- Attach (Sew-in): Use a needle and thread to securely sew the pad to the garment's inner seam allowance. Ensure stitching is firm but does not create bulk.
- Attach (Iron-on): If using the iron-on option, follow the instructions provided with the hook and loop fasteners. Typically, this involves placing the fastener, covering it with a cloth, and applying a hot iron.
- Attach (Detachable): For the detachable option, first sew or iron one part of the hook and loop fastener to the garment and the other part to the shoulder pad, ensuring they align correctly.
Compatibility:
These shoulder pads are designed for most adult garments with set-in sleeves. They are compatible with a wide range of fabrics, including cotton, linen, wool blends, and knits. The black color makes them most suitable for darker or black garments, or where they will not be visible.
Care:
- Pad Care: Wipe the shoulder pads with a slightly damp cloth as needed. Avoid soaking them in water.
- Garment Care: If attached permanently, follow the garment's care instructions. If using the detachable option, remove the shoulder pads before washing the garment. The hook and loop fasteners can be cleaned by brushing away any lint or debris.
