  • Heat Sensitivity: Not ideal for heat-sensitive fabrics that can’t withstand heat press applications.
  • Wear Over Time: Frequent washing and heavy use may cause fraying, especially without edge stitching.

APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS

Heat press Application

  • Preheat the fabric for 5 seconds to remove wrinkles.
  • Set Heat Press to 320°F (160°C), 60-70 psi pressure, and 15-20 seconds time.
  • Position the Patch on the fabric, ensuring smooth alignment.
  • Apply Heat Press for the set time, applying even pressure.
  • Cool for a few seconds, then remove the backing and let the patch cool completely before handling.
  • Inspect the patch to ensure a secure bond. Repress if necessary.

Sew-On Application Instructions

  • To securely attach your patch to the garment, we recommend using one of the following stitch types

 

Runstitch

  • Use a simple, straight stitch along the edges of the patch.
  • Ideal for a clean, basic attachment.

 

Zigzag Stitch

  • Use a zigzag stitch along the perimeter of the patch for extra durability and to prevent fraying.
  • This stitch provides a bit of flexibility and a stronger hold.

Satin Stitch

  • A dense zigzag stitch that covers the edge completely, giving a smooth, polished finish.
  • Ideal for decorative patches or when a more refined look is desired.

Thread Selection

For the best results, we recommend using Isacord thread due to its durability and smooth finish.

ISACORD Thread Color

Please provide the Isacord thread number you’d like to use for your patch application.
