How to Iron PATCHES! 

I tend to iron them and then sew around the edges anyway, the "belt-and-suspenders" approach.

Love the “preheat the material” tip before applying the patch - thanks Russ!

Use a damp cloth! The steam will give a better result, prevent damage, increase steam, as soon as cool, ready to go!

Seeing Russ with a mini iron is by far the best thing I've seen all day!

my bf walked into the room and said you do bikes and i was like but he does sewing because youre doing iron on patches anyway, it was the weird cross over that we didnt know we needed :D

Tiniest iron award!! I definitely need to bling out some bags, thanks for the ironing tips 😉

Ha! No wonder I've never had good luck with iron on patches! Way more steps than I woulda thought.

Thanks for the vid. I was expecting to see a lot of iron-on videos, but most are sewing. I definitely would not have thought to do all the steps you did, so I'm glad I watched!

This is super useful. I’ve got a bunch of patches but I had no idea how to iron them on! Thank you.

The adhesive may not hold for very long on some materials. Once you iron on the patch, a person who does simple alterations should be able to sew the perimeter. Your dry cleaner usually will have someone they farm this out to. Like any of us have a dry cleaner anymore, but you know what I mean. Anyway, it will be surprisingly inexpensive.

"No Room for regular iron" hence you have some 5 bikes at home :)

Nice. I have one of your patches and a bag I want it on but was a little nervous about doing it.

Thanks I finally have the courage to attempt ironing my patch that's just sitting around.

I usually just hand sew them on, a bit of a pain. But I know they are secure.

I've been meaning to ask this question forever: Really just wondering, what do Laura and Russ do with all their stickers and patches?! I do patches in the map case and stickers for tool boxes because I'm afraid of the iron, but sometimes a lucky sticker will end up on a bike.

I have been applying patches to my tubes this way. No wonder why I kept going through tubes so fast. Only use the iron for 45 seconds.

Really great! I do often sew and iron because I’m not very good at either. 😁

This was a great tutorial. You did a good job! Good-looking patches also. Who's the patch maker you guys use that's based in PA?

My patches seem to peel up. I end up sewing it on.

I emailed RoadRunner about ironing patches onto their Jammer bag (really like this bag). They told me that iron on patches don't last on Cordura for a long time. They recommended sewing it. I have an "outdoor sewing kit" with some stronger needles for thicker fabric. Please let us know how it lasts?

I end up trying, failing, then just stitching on a patch

didn’t work so i just put the iron on the patch without anything in between, used steam, and it was on in 10 seconds. just pushed the iron down while holding it in place.

Thank you!

Does the plastic at the back have to come off

Can it work on leather jackets ?

Great video. Thank you.

My therapist suggested diy why on cloths and such

Great video! Thank you for the tips!

I just burned my whole bag thanks

Better ask if I can use the iron 😆 Will they stick to waxed canvas or is sewing them on better for this?

Help! So what if I do have a plastic lining or some kind of lining on the inside. How to I protect it I guess?

That's probably the only Iron Man I would ever do.

I have a steamer will that work??:')

How many people that he meant patches made of "iron"?

Could you do an embroidered iron on patch on to faux suede?

Will you ever re-run your Path Less Pedaled logo patch?

I haven’t even washed mine and it’s already coming off a little

How to iron Ghostbusters patch jumpsuit for men?

Hey Russ! Did Walter have any specific warnings or tips for X-Pac? Cordura I'm confident with, but worried about melting that plasticky lightweight stuff!

Is there any way you can give me walters info. I need some custom patches for my business

if you dont know...now you know

So cute!

my bag ended up burning even with the cloth and water. thanks

I use hot glue.

His instructions are a bit weak. For best results, iron for 3 rounds of: - 30 seconds on, 10 seconds off - 30 seconds on, 10 seconds off - 30 seconds on, 10 seconds off

You look like a giant holding a regular sized iron. Ha!

Gorilla Glue !

But not on a waxed cotton surface, methinks.

Anyone know if this would work on xpac?

Not quite a tiny whisk.... but almost as babish-ey
