2.1 Hook & Loop Application

This patch comes with a hook & loop backing for convenient attachment and removal.

1. Prepare the Surface: Ensure the fabric surface where you intend to place the patch is clean and dry.
2. Attach Loop Piece: Apply the fuzzy loop piece (if provided separately) to your fabric. This can be done using the attached adhesive, or by hand sewing for increased durability and permanence.
3. Attach Patch: Firmly press the patch (with the hook backing) onto the loop piece. Ensure it is securely fastened.

2.2 Iron-On Application (Alternative Method)

While this specific patch is Hook & Loop, Sniggle Sloth patches can often be applied via iron-on if they have an iron-on backing. If your patch has an iron-on backing, follow these steps:

1. Preheat Iron: Set your iron to medium heat. Ensure the steam function is turned off.
2. Position Patch: Place the patch in the desired location on your fabric.
3. Apply Heat: Press firmly with the iron for 8-12 seconds. Do not move the iron around.
4. Cool Down: Allow the patch and fabric to cool completely before handling.

2.3 Sew-On Application (For Added Permanence)

For maximum durability and permanence, especially on items that will undergo frequent washing or heavy use, sewing the patch on is recommended.

1. Position Patch: Place the patch in the desired location on your fabric.
2. Secure: Use a needle and thread to hand sew around the edges of the patch, securing it firmly to the fabric. Match thread color to the patch border for a seamless look.

3. Usage and Function

The Copyright Symbol patch serves as a decorative embellishment, allowing for personal expression and customization of various textile items. It can also be used to cover minor imperfections, holes, or tears in fabric, extending the life and aesthetic appeal of your belongings.

4. Care and Maintenance

To ensure the longevity of your patch and the item it's attached to, follow these care instructions:

• Washing: If the patch is sewn on, wash the item according to its fabric care label. For hook & loop patches, it is recommended to remove the patch before washing the garment to prevent damage to the hook & loop fasteners.
• Drying: Air drying is preferred for items with patches. If machine drying, use a low heat setting.
• Ironing: Avoid direct ironing on the embroidered area of the patch. If ironing is necessary for the garment, iron around the patch or place a thin cloth over the patch.
• Storage: Store patches flat in a cool, dry place when not in use to maintain their shape and adhesive quality (if applicable).

5. Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues with your patch, consider the following:

• Patch Not Sticking (Hook & Loop):
  • Ensure both the hook and loop surfaces are clean and free of lint or debris.
  • Verify the loop piece is securely attached to the fabric. If it's an adhesive loop piece, ensure the fabric surface was clean and dry before application. Consider sewing the loop piece for better adhesion.
• Patch Edges Lifting (Iron-On):
  • Re-apply heat with the iron, pressing firmly for an additional 5-10 seconds.
  • Ensure the iron temperature was correct and steam was off during initial application.
  • For a more permanent fix, consider sewing the edges of the patch.
• Patch Damaged After Washing:
  • Always follow care instructions. For hook & loop patches, remove before washing. For sewn-on patches, gentle washing is recommended.
  • Avoid harsh detergents or high heat drying.
