1. What is iron on patches?

Iron on patches is a fabric patch that can be ironed on other garments. Unlike traditional patches always sewn through threads, this new style patch is designed by a computer and an advanced embroidery machine. It features a thin layer of plastic covered with strong adhesion. This adhesion coating will be activated and melted by heat and then embedded into the garment you want to decorate.

2. How to make iron on patches?

First, you can just draw artwork on paper or print some favorite images with a printer. 

Second, use a pen to trace down the lines of the image on your cloth and fill the lines with colorful threads.

Then, be careful not to poke your fingers during the embroidering process, and remember to get rid of the extra dangling thread on the back of the cloth. Make the final stitch and cut the whole embroidered image out of the cloth.

Last, put some fabric glue on the back side of the embroidered cloth.
