Prepare the Surface: Ensure that the fabric surface is clean and free of any wrinkles. Ironing on a smooth surface helps the patch adhere more effectively.

Position the Patch: Place the patch on the desired location. Once satisfied with the placement, use pins to secure it in place.

Heat the Iron: Preheat the iron to the recommended temperature setting. Most patches come with instructions specifying the ideal heat level.

Protective Layer: If the patch has a protective layer, such as a film or parchment paper, place it over the patch before applying the iron. This protects the patch from direct heat.

Apply Pressure: Press the hot iron onto the patch, applying steady pressure for the recommended duration. This process melts the adhesive on the back of the patch, bonding it to the fabric.
