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 if possible, as it 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 on a machine since iron-on patches are stiff, and it might be helpful to use a darning foot if you have one, and then disengage the feed dogs (upper and lower feed), so you can move the fabric\/garment in any direction you want. Feel free to practice on a fabric scrap with a ballpoint pen drawing of a heart or star or something. The stitches don't have 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 reinforcement patch to the inside of the garment first, either with machine stitching (a bit like quilting with stripes or squares, perhaps with thread that matches the garment?) or by using a fabric scrap and fusible web, 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\"\u003eReinforcing the inside of worn areas is beneficial so that you don't get a new hole exactly 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":"Default Title","offer_id":39280162766893,"sku":"HJE-STRY-Q0587","price":35.0,"currency_code":"NOK","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0380\/6927\/2621\/products\/DSC0463_DxO-854332.jpg?v=1666781719","url":"https:\/\/www.myvisiblemend.no\/en-en\/products\/strykemerke-gullanker-med-trosse-4-cm","provider":"MyVisibleMend","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
