Paper on patch vs iron on patch 

Many people use paper on patch. They use a sewing machine or needle and thread to sew patches onto clothes.  The patch will stay firmly attached to the garment and will remain beautiful for some time without falling off.  But over time, the thread will begin to decay or break, and the patch may fall off.  

Some like to use paper on patch, but also like to use iron on patch.  After all, not everyone knows how to use a sewing machine, but everyone knows how to use an iron.  Simply attach the patch to the garment by using an iron.  Some people are more cautious, and after ironing the patch and attaching it to the garment, they will sew it again along the edge of the patch to make it more secure. 

If you decide to use a heat seal, we recommend using a commercial hot press.  If you can’t, you can use an iron.  But first, a note of caution: While ironing works well on strong fabrics, ironing usually doesn’t work well on garments with high stretch.  Also, you should not attempt to use heat to repair fabrics that may be damaged by heat.  If in doubt, test the fabric before heat-sealing the patch. 

Precautions for using Iron on Patch 

When using Iron on Patch, pay attention to the temperature of the iron and don’t overheat it.  Smooth out the part of the fabric to be patched, place the patch, and cover the patch with a towel to prevent ironing from damaging the garment.  If you want to iron the patch on a high stretch fabric, please test the fabric first. Improper handling can make the garment unattractive.

Instructions for use of irons for heat sealing patches.  These are basic instructions for DIY at home. 

1. Set the iron to “Cotton” or “High.” 

2. Lay your clothes flat (on the ironing board). 

3. Preheat the patch area.  You should put a cheap cloth, sheet or pillowcase between the iron and your clothes to protect your clothes.  Then, press the heated iron firmly on the cloth for 10 seconds. 

4. Place the patch in a preheated area.  Put the cloth, sheet or pillowcase on top of the embroidery so that the thread will not be burned.  Press the iron hard for 15-20 seconds. 

5. If possible, repeat this step on the back of the garment.  Be sure to use thin cloth, sheets or pillowcases so that you won’t ironing your clothes.
