Step 2: Preparing Your Application Area
Before you begin ironing, ensure the fabric surface is clean and smooth. Lay your clothing on a flat, heat-resistant surface like an ironing board.
Step 3: Positioning Your Patch
Arrange your selected iron on patches on your garment to find the ideal placement. Pay attention to symmetry, spacing, and how the patches complement each other’s styles.
Step 4: Ironing the Patch
Set your iron to a medium heat setting (no steam). Place a pressing cloth or a piece of cotton fabric over the patch to protect it. Carefully press the iron on top for about 30 seconds. Ensure even pressure and coverage over the entire patch area for effective adhesion.
Step 5: Cooling and Securing
Remove the iron but leave the pressing cloth in place. Allow the area to cool completely. Check the edges to ensure the patch is firmly attached. If any areas are loose, repeat the ironing process for those sections.
