I have no experience with iron-on patches. I do have a heat press for other purposes, however.

As a fundraiser, was considering buying some animal/wildlife patches that claim to be iron-on.

I am wondering how well and how permanent iron-on patches would be. I'd feel really bad if they came loose after a dozen washings. Do they ever hang on there as long as the shirt hangs in there??

I was thinking of putting them on the pocket (or above the pocket if they're small... is that standard procedure?) of pique sport shirts.

I found a place that has some for about $2 apiece.

Also, is it better to heat press them on or iron them on?

Thanks very much.

Some of them are really good and others are not. You will have to just try them to find out. One thing you may try to use along with it is the fusible webbing, one brand name is Wonder Under. That way you can be sure that it will stick and last. You will have the adhesive from the patch and a little extra with the webbing.

The biggest key is to get the gloe hot enough to adhere to the garment. They will work if applied correctly. ..... JB

Actually you can get some from the local Walmarts and local fabric shops. We have a Hancock Fabrics and JoAnn Fabrics. I think that JoAnn Fabrics has a website at Joann.com: Online Shopping for Sewing, Scrapbooking, Yarn and Crafts that they sell theirs on too.
