Adhesive
-
An iron on knee patch is used to repair a hole, most often in jeans. Iron on patches have a heat sensitive adhesive built into them. No sewing is needed to adhere the patch to the garment. A household iron is all you need to use an iron on patch.
Iron on patches can be bought in various colors to match your garment, with or without decoration. You can also buy a sheet of double stick iron on material and make your own iron on knee patch.
Repair
-
The iron on knee patch is applied directly over the hole or tear. The adhesive sticks to the raw edges of the fabric and holds it together. This prevents the rip or hole from getting larger. Make sure the patch is larger than the hole or tear that it is covering.
Disguise
-
You can minimize the appearance of the iron on knee patch by applying it to the inside of the garment. The patch will work just as well on either side of the fabric.
