Unhappy Re: Iron On Patches - heat press settings

That's the thing, I called them along with 3 other patch sellers. Nobody knew for sure. They all said "cotton settings" - that narrows it down .

I did call a local embroidery guy and he said 330 for 8-10 seconds for the patches he makes. I've pressed 7 different patches at 275 for 9 seconds - 5 held well after pressing the outside and then turning the garment inside out and pressing again. The other 2 peeled off pretty easily. Washed one also and it held well.

The thing is, nobody knows for sure. Oh well, I've have to research it more when my business slows down in November.
