Iron On Patch Instructions

Thank you for your order! Here's how to apply your BMS Handmade iron on patches! 

Attaching with a Heat Press:

  1. Set Up the Heat Press:

    • Preheat your heat press to 300°F (150°C).
    • Place the patch on your desired location on the fabric.

  2. Protect the Patch:

    • Place a Teflon sheet over the front side of the patch to protect it from direct heat.

  3. Press the Patch:

    • Remove the paper backing from the patch.
    • Lower the heat press and apply pressure for 15 seconds.
    • Ensure even pressure over the entire patch.

  4. Cool Down:

    • Once done, carefully lift the press and allow the patch to cool down for a few seconds.
    • Check if the patch is securely attached. If not, repeat the process.

Attaching with a Household Iron:

  1. Prepare the Iron:

    • Set your household iron to the wool setting (300°F / 150°C).
    • Make sure the steam function is turned off.

  2. Position the Patch:

    • Remove the paper backing from the patch.
    • Place the patch on the desired location on your fabric.

  3. Protect the Patch:

    • Turn the fabric inside out so you can press from the backside.
    • Alternatively, place a thin cloth or pressing cloth over the front of the patch to protect it from direct contact with the iron.

  4. Apply Heat:

    • Press the iron firmly over the backside of the fabric (where the patch is placed) for 15 seconds.
    • Do not move the iron around; hold it in place for even pressure.

  5. Cool Down:

    • Allow the fabric to cool down for a few seconds.
    • Check the patch to ensure it is securely attached. If not, repeat the process.

Tips:

  • For extra security, you can sew around the edges of the patch after ironing it on.
  • Always test on a small, inconspicuous area of the fabric first to ensure the temperature and pressure are suitable.

By following these steps, your iron-on patch should be securely attached to your fabric, ready to wear or display!
