Appliqué Instructions

 

Our appliqués are designed to iron on. For extra strength you may stitch them in place.

See our stitch guide* below.

  1. Choose your garment. For best results, match the appliqué to a clean, similar material- jersey on jersey, cotton on cotton, denim on denim. An appliqué that is heavier than the garment to which it is applied won't sit well.
  2. Set iron to a high heat. Test your garment first! (Cotton setting is a good rule of thumb, but all irons are different)
  3. Heat the garment area before applying the appliqué.
  4. Place the appliqué on the garment, adhesive side down.
  5. Apply pressure with a hot, dry iron for 45-60 seconds without moving.
  6. Turn garment inside out and repeat on this side.
  7. Repeat steps 5-6, if needed.
  8. Allow the appliqué to cool and set before wearing.

Care: Wash inside-out, avoid the dryer.

*Stitch Guide:

  • Use needle and thread to add 2-3 small stitches inset from appliqué edges to set it more permanently.
