Clem · July 17th, 2008

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.
