โ Pro Tips
Always pre-press fabric for 5โ7 seconds to remove moisture and wrinkles.
Use a teflon sheet or parchment paper to protect stitches.
If applying to denim, canvas, or hoodies, press again from the back for 10โ15 seconds.
For nylon or polyester blends, lower temp to 285โ300ยฐF and press a bit longer.
Use heat tape to hold patches in place on curved surfaces (like hats).
