Applying PVC (Polyvinyl Chloride) patches can be done in several ways, depending on the type of backing the patch has and the material to which you&#;re applying it. Here are the general methods for applying the most common types of PVC patches:
1. Sew-on Patches
Sew-on PVC patches have no adhesive or hook-and-loop backing. They are designed to be sewn directly onto the fabric.
Preparation: Choose the location where you want to apply the patch. If necessary, use a piece of chalk or a fabric marker to outline where the patch will go.
Sewing: Use a needle and thread or a sewing machine to sew the patch onto the fabric. It&#;s best to use a thread color that matches the border of the patch for a seamless look. Sew around the entire edge of the patch.
2. Velcro/Hook-and-Loop Patches
These patches come with a hook-and-loop system (similar to Velcro) where one side (the hook) is attached to the patch, and the other side (the loop) needs to be sewn onto the garment.
Preparation: Sew the loop side of the hook-and-loop fastener to the garment where you want to place the patch.
Application: Once the loop side is securely attached to the garment, you can attach and remove the patch easily by pressing it against the loop fabric.
3. Iron-on Patches
Iron-on PVC patches have a layer of heat-activated adhesive on the back. However, PVC patches are generally thicker and might not bond as well with heat as traditional embroidered patches due to their material properties. If you have an iron-on PVC patch, follow these steps cautiously, and note that not all PVC patches are suited for iron-on application due to their heat sensitivity.
Preparation: Preheat your iron to a medium-high setting without steam. Place the garment on an ironing board or a flat, heat-resistant surface.
Positioning: Place the patch in the desired location, adhesive side down.
Covering: Cover the patch with a thin cloth or parchment paper to protect it from direct heat.
Ironing: Press the iron down on the patch and hold it in place for about 15-30 seconds. Do not move the iron back and forth because this can misplace the patch.
Cooling: Let the patch and garment cool down before moving it.
Note:
PVC Material: PVC patches are more rigid and might not conform to the fabric as easily as other types of patches. This can make sewing or applying them a bit more challenging.
Heat Sensitivity: Be cautious with applying heat to PVC patches, as excessive heat can potentially damage the patch or the garment.
