Poppies Embroidered Patch

Instructions for embroidered patches:

NOTE: As with all embroidered patches, sewing is the most secure and preferable method, since iron-on adhesive may not always adhere entirely on every fabric. If you choose to try the iron-on method first, follow instructions below. Enjoy!!

1. Set the iron to “cotton” or “high heat” on the temperature setting.

2. Lay the garment flat (on an ironing board).

3. Preheat the garment where the patch will be attached. You should protect your garment by putting an inexpensive cloth, sheet, or pillowcase between the iron and the garment. Then, press the heated iron firmly down on top of that cloth for 10 seconds.

4. Place the patch on the pre-heated spot. Put the cloth, sheet or pillowcase on top of the embroidered part of the patch so you don’t burn the embroidery thread. Press firmly on the iron for 15-20 seconds.

5. If possible, repeat this step through the reverse side of the garment. Be sure to use your thin cloth, sheet or pillowcase so you don’t burn the garment.

6. This is important: Your glue will be hot and liquified but it will cool fast and harden soon. Be very careful to not let the patch move around on the garment before the glue hardens. If it moves around, the bond will not be as secure.
