Embroidered patches are often called fabric patches, iron-on patches, or embroidery patches. However, most traditional fabric patches require ironing to adhere, typically to fabric materials or to mend holes in clothing. Hi你好's embroidered patches have an adhesive backing that sticks without ironing, allowing them to be applied to smooth, non-fabric surfaces. They are perfect as stickers for water bottles, phone cases, laptops, notebooks, pencil cases, helmets, luggage, and more! Let's get creative and make 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, and allow it to cool completely for a secure bond. For extra durability, we recommend reinforcing with needle and thread. If you don't have an iron, sewing the patch on with a sewing machine or by hand will also ensure it stays firmly attached! 🏷 What if the fabric cannot be ironed or I'm unsure if it 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 secure it. This will prevent high heat from damaging your fabric. 🏷 How strong is the adhesive on the embroidered patches? Will they fall off easily? Hi你好's embroidered patches have a strong adhesive backing. They adhere well to general smooth, non-fabric surfaces and are not prone to falling off. If applying to fabric (clothing, pants, hats, etc.), please iron them on and reinforce with sewing for increased durability. 🏷 Will the embroidered patches fall off after washing? Once ironed and reinforced with sewing, the embroidered patches can be machine washed without easily falling off. We suggest washing them inside out in a laundry bag. 🏷 Can embroidered patches be repositioned? The adhesive backing on embroidered patches is for single use and cannot be repositioned. We recommend deciding on the placement before applying. If you peel it off and wish to reuse it, the fabric surface of the embroidered patch can still be sewn onto fabric for decoration! 🏷 Will there be residue after removing the embroidered patch? The adhesive on embroidered patches is strong, so some residue may remain after removal. This residue can be cleaned with sticker removers or adhesive solvents. Before using any cleaner, please check if your item's surface material is compatible with the cleaner to avoid damage. Do not use a hairdryer to remove residue; the adhesive on embroidered patches melts with heat, becoming stickier and harder to remove!
