NATIVE AMERICANA IRON ON PATCH FROM GINEW

THE HEAT IS ON!
Team Ginew wants to share some tips on how to iron on patches so you can wear your Native Americana long-term! 

The majority of our patch offering are sew-on only so these tips relate to our newest patches: The Canyon Thunderbird and the Ombre Bison. Attach to your favorite garment and WEAR WITH SPIRIT

NOTE: Iron-on patches adhere best to cotton. Refer to your specific garment if ironing is allowed. 

  1. Lay garment on flat surface 
  2. Turn iron on - make sure steam if OFF and no water is in the iron. 
  3. Iron temperatrue level should match your specific garment's ironing temp - for example: Iron at medium or iron at high heat
  4. Place patch facing up on your garment in the desired spot and place a thin towel over the patch
  5. Apply heated iron to patch and apply pressure in a circular motion for 10-30 seconds. TIP: if the patch has a thicker border, apply more pressure to the edges to ensure the adhesive attaches to the garment. Allow to cool. (You aren't done yet!)
  6. Reverse the garment so it's inside out. Apply heat to the patch from this side. You can use a thin towel between the iron and the garment if needed. Iron until patch is adhered. Allow to cool. 
  7. Once cool, check to see if the patch is attached. If needed, simply repeat Steps 4-6.
  8. Enjoy your patched garment and tag Ginew: @Ginew_USA 

TIPS: Materials like mesh, coated or ribbed items or garments with stretch are not the best suited materials for iron-ons. You may want to tack the four corners down with a quick sewing to ensure the corners lay flat.
