Embroidered patches are commonly known as embroidered cloth patches, cloth patches, iron-on patches, or embroidered appliqués. However, most embroidered cloth patches require ironing to adhere and are typically used to decorate fabric items or mend holes in clothing. Hi 你好's embroidered patches have an adhesive backing that sticks without ironing, making them suitable for smooth surfaces beyond fabric. They're perfect as stickers for water bottles, phone cases, laptops, notebooks, pencil cases, helmets, luggage, and more. Let's create something unique with these patches! 🏷 How do I use embroidered patches? Using Hi 你好's embroidered patches is simple: ▪️ For smooth, non-fabric surfaces: Peel off the backing and stick. No ironing needed, and they stay put! ▪️ For fabric surfaces: Preheat your iron to 150°C. Place a pressing cloth over the patch to protect the embroidery thread from high heat. Iron for 20-25 seconds, then let it cool completely. For extra durability, reinforce with needle and thread. If you don't have an iron, sewing the patch onto fabric with a sewing machine or by hand will also ensure it stays secure! 🏷 What if I can't iron or I'm unsure if a fabric can be ironed? For materials that cannot be ironed (e.g., down jackets, nylon, leather, waterproof fabric) or if you're unsure about ironing, we recommend sewing the patch on with a sewing machine or by hand to avoid damaging your fabric with high heat. 🏷 How strong is the adhesive? Will they fall off easily? Hi 你好's embroidered patches have a strong adhesive. They are unlikely to fall off when applied to general smooth, non-fabric surfaces. If attaching to fabric (clothing, pants, hats, etc.), ironing and sewing for reinforcement will increase durability. 🏷 Will embroidered patches fall off if washed? Once ironed and reinforced with sewing, embroidered patches can be washed in a washing machine without easily falling off. We suggest washing them inside out in a laundry bag. 🏷 Can embroidered patches be reapplied? The adhesive backing on embroidered patches is for single use and cannot be reapplied. We recommend confirming the placement before sticking. If you remove a patch and wish to reuse it, the embroidered fabric itself can still be sewn onto fabric items for decoration! 🏷 Will there be adhesive residue after removing an embroidered patch? Due to the strong adhesive, some residue may remain after removal. This can be cleaned with a sticker remover or adhesive remover. Before using any cleaner, please check if your item's surface material is compatible to avoid damage. Do not use a hairdryer to remove residue. The adhesive on embroidered patches can melt with heat, making them stickier and harder to remove. If you have any questions, please feel free to send us a message.
