How to Apply an Iron On Patch

Applying a patch takes under a minute with a household iron — no sewing required. Note: iron-on adhesive isn't recommended for nylon, rayon, or delicate silks, since these fabrics can't handle direct heat. For the full step-by-step guide, including no-iron options like fabric glue and thermal tape, see our How to Apply Iron On Patches guide.

Frequently Asked Questions

What can I use these patches on?

Iron-on patches work great on canvas totes, denim, jackets, and bags. They're a popular way to personalize a Boatkin bag or a vintage L.L. Bean tote — patch your own one-of-a-kind carryall.

Are iron on patches permanent?

Iron on adhesive creates a strong, long-lasting bond, but it can loosen over time with repeated washing, especially on high-friction areas like bag straps or elbows. For permanent, wash-resistant application, sewing around the edges after ironing is recommended.

Do embroidered iron on patches wash well?

Yes, when applied correctly and reinforced with stitching, embroidered iron on patches can withstand regular machine washing on a gentle cycle. Turning garments inside out before washing helps extend patch life.

Can I put patched clothes in the dryer?

Air drying is best. High dryer heat can soften or melt the adhesive backing over time, which weakens the bond. If you do use a dryer, a low-heat setting is safer than high heat.
