In such cases, iron-on patches can be perfect for a quick fix for a hole or a stain.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAlthough they are designed to be ironed on as they are, I recommend also sewing them on if possible, as this makes them much more durable. However, you can quickly iron them on first if needed, and then sew them on at a later time.\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIt's easiest to do this with a machine since the patches are stiff, and it might be helpful to use a darning foot if you have one, and then remove the feed dogs, so you can move the fabric\/garment in any direction you want. Feel free to practice on a piece of fabric with a ballpoint pen drawing of a heart or star or something. The stitches don't need to be perfectly even; the most important thing is that the patch is securely attached :) \u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIron-on patches are a bit stiff, so if it's a very large worn area with a small hole, I would recommend attaching a reinforcing patch to the inside of the garment first, either with machine stitching (a bit of a quilt style with stripes or squares, perhaps with thread that matches the garment?) or by using a fabric patch and Vliesofix, ironing it on the inside, and then covering the hole or stain with the iron-on patch. Of course, you can also use iron-on patches to decorate clothes that have no damage or wear!\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eReinforcement on the inside of worn areas is beneficial so that you don't get a new hole right at the edge of the iron-on patch, where there will be extra stress with the stiff material against the thin\/worn fabric.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Hjelmtvedt","offers":[{"title":"Red","offer_id":39285051686957,"sku":"HJE-STRY-Q2867","price":54.0,"currency_code":"NOK","in_stock":false},{"title":"Yellow","offer_id":39285051719725,"sku":"HJE-STRY-Q2868","price":54.0,"currency_code":"NOK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0380\/6927\/2621\/products\/DSC0946_DxO.jpg?v=1618993624","url":"https:\/\/www.myvisiblemend.no\/en-en\/products\/strykemerke-blomster-tegneseriestil-3-stk-2-5-cm","provider":"MyVisibleMend","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
