HEAT-SEAL INSTRUCTIONS

A. We strongly recommend that you use a heat-seal machine or heat transfer machine, although a home iron will suffice.

Set your machine temperature at 375 degrees.
Place the applique where you want and place a pressing cloth over the applique.
Close the machine shut with applique inside and hold it for 12-15 seconds.
Let the applique cool down.

Note: These instructions are ideal for regular tee-shirt like fabrics. The pressing time varies for thicker fabrics. In some cases, it is suggested that you turn the garment inside out and repeat steps 1-4.

B. Using a Hand Iron.

Set your hand iron at the hottest temperature setting.
Place your applique where you desire and place a pressing cloth over the applique.
Press the iron down on the applique and hold it for 30-40 seconds. (add as much pressure as possible).
Turn the garment inside out and repeat steps 1-3.
Let the applique cool down.

Caution

A. Avoid the use of materials that cannot ensure the temperature necessary to affix patches properly.

B. Appliques are durable, but for best results, they should not be applied to rainwear (water-proof), highly elastic fabrics, or nylon fabrics.

WASHING INSTRUCTIONS

Recommended: Dry Clean or Machine Wash. For Machine wash, please turn garment "inside-out" before wash. Settings: Warm with delicate cycle. Tumble dry low.

These are instructions recommended by the manufacturer of our appliques and should be used as a guide only - remember you may need to experiment a little until you get the best balance of temperature and dwell time for your particular garment.
