This 2” x 4” embroidered patch features my design of a barn owl. To adhere this patch to your garment, you will need: * An iron * An ironing board or other heat-resistant flat surface * Your patch * A thin cotton cloth (e.g., tea towel or washcloth) * A clean garment To apply the patch, you will need to: * Lay your clean garment on a flat surface. * Turn your iron on and set the temperature to the correct setting for your fabric; ensure that the steam setting is turned off and that there is no water in the iron’s reservoir. * Place the patch face-up on the garment and cover it with a thin cotton cloth. * Press down on the garment, moving the iron in a circular motion for 10-30 seconds. * Allow the patch to cool, then flip the garment inside out. * Cover the patch area with a thin cotton cloth and press with the iron for 10-30 seconds. * Allow the patch to cool and check to see if the patch has adhered; if not, repeat steps 3-6. While the iron-on adhesive should be strong enough to adhere to your garment for 50+ washes, sewing it on will make it even more secure.
