Things to Keep in Mind
1. Heat transfer patch does not equal iron on.
Heat transfer patches are created via a process called dye sublimation, which prints an image onto a mesh backing using no thread at all. "Iron-on patches" means the patch has a shiny backing meant for heat attachment. Heat transfer patches without an iron-on backing won't bond to fabric when ironed.
2. PVC patches do not equal PVC backing.
PVC patches are waterproof and weather resistant. They can be ordered with a hook and loop backing or PVC backing, but NOT with an iron-on backing. Do not attempt to iron on PVC patches or any patch with a PVC backing.
3. Sewing your patch
If you decide to sew your patch in place, you may order PVC backing, hook and loop backing, or no backing at all. PVC patches include a recessed channel you can sew along.
4. Temporary patch placement
For temporary patch placement, peel and stick, safety pin backing, or an 8mm post is recommended.
