Default Iron on patches question

Just a quick question for you pros out there....

I'm ordering about 200 embroidered patches and want to put a few of them on some ball caps that i have.

Will I be OK using a home iron to apply these to the caps, since the patches are called "iron on" patches?

I don't really want to invest in a cap press for less than 1 dozen hats if I don't have to. The rest of these patches will be applied to jerseys with my heat press.

Thanks in advance!

Default Re: Iron on patches question

I was selling some t-shirts that I decorated with a patch before I got my heat press. I bought a new iron because the one I use everyday for my clothes, I had for a while and there was a some film on it from starching. So I bought a new one just for my patches and it worked out perfectly. I did a practice shirt and washed it a few times and the patch held up perfectly. Just make sure you add enough heat and pressure and it should work for you. There are different wattages so might want to research which would be the best for the patches you are using.
