Place your patch or transfer onto the spot where you want it adhered to your hat. Patches should be placed image side up, while transfers should be placed image side down.

Run over the patch or transfer with your iron carefully with moderate pressure. Do not keep the iron still at any moment, as the patch or transfer could burn.

Allow the patch or transfer to cool before touching it with your hands. Peel back the backing on the transfer (if you used a transfer) and discard it.
