How to apply

Three easy steps to make it last. No special skills needed — you’ll be done in just a few minutes.

Place it

Position your patch where you want it. Take a second — this is the fun part.

Press it

Cover with a thin cloth. Press a dry iron at about 150°C / 300°F firmly for 15–20 seconds — don’t slide it.

Let it cool

Leave it for a minute or two. Then turn the item inside out and press the back for another 10 seconds.

Make it last longer

  • Wash inside out in cool water on a gentle cycle.
  • Air dry when possible and avoid direct high heat.
  • For bags and heavy-use items, add a few stitches around the edge.

Where it works

Great on: cotton, denim, canvas and linen — including totes, jackets, caps, pencil cases and jeans.

Skip: nylon and waterproof coatings. Stitch the patch on instead.
