How to iron chenille patches onto clothes?

Ironing chenille patches onto clothes is a quick way to add flair, and with PrettyDecals’ custom designs, the process is simple and effective. Here’s how to do it.

Step 1: Gather Supplies
Grab a PrettyDecals chenille patch, an iron, a pressing cloth, and your garment—stick to heat-safe fabrics like cotton.

Step 2: Prep the Fabric
Wash and dry the clothing, then lay it flat. Place the PrettyDecals patch fuzzy side up where you want it.

Step 3: Heat the Iron
Set the iron to medium-high (cotton setting, no steam) and let it warm up.

Step 4: Protect the Patch
Cover the PrettyDecals chenille with a thin cloth to guard its texture.

Step 5: Iron On
Press the iron down firmly for 20-30 seconds—don’t move it. Lift, check adhesion, and repeat if needed.

Step 6: Cool and Check
Let it cool briefly, then test the edges. Sew later for extra security if desired.
