Prepare all the tools that you need for this process. This includes adhesive glues, easy to stick fabrics, iron box, a piece of fabric. Iron the surface of the leather jacket that you want to fix the patch on. This is to make it warm and easy for the adhesive glue to stick. Apply the adhesive on the patch. With the glued side first, lay the patch on the heated jacket area.
Place a cloth fabric on the patch and iron on the patch on the cloth. You iron like this because the patch fabric may not be suitable to iron directly. Also, the heat from the iron increases the strength of the glue.
Iron the patch for a few minutes. Switch off the iron and leave it on top of the patch for a while to reinforce the adhesive. Some patches may not be adhesive friendly. In this case, sew another piece of cloth to the bottom of the patch. Apply the adhesive to this fabric and iron it on to the leather clothes. The layer of fabric over the patch as you iron also protects the leather jacket.
Heat is not good for leather clothes. Iron on patches on leather are not permanent. They will stay on for a while before they peel off. To avoid this, it is advisable to then sew the patch onto the leather jacket or other clothes. Lay them out and make sure that you have them exactly where you want them. Get the right tools. You need a heavy-duty needle that will pierce through the leather fabric. If you are sewing by hand, you will need a thimble to help push the needle.
Also, get the right thread to firmly hold the patch on the leather. Identify the type of patches that you are sewing onto your leather. Create an account. Edit this Article.

Take a close look at your patch and decide whether you may need additional materials. Decorative embroidered fabric patches are usually thick, stiff, and have what looks like plastic glue on one side. These can be used to cover ripped or discolored fabric. Transfer paper patches are prints on one side of special paper, with a non-glossy paper side. These can't hold ripped fabric together and usually the fabric underneath will show through if it's not applied to something white.
Patches that have a simple cloth backing can be attached using fusible web. Patches that are meant to cover up holes or stains and are designed to blend in with fabric often come with a paper backing that is pulled off before the patch is applied.
Consider custom designing your own patch if you can't find one you like. Examine the fabric of your clothing or accessory. Fabrics like denim and cotton provide the best base for iron-on patches.
As a general rule the fabric you choose should be at least as heavy as the patch. Look at the fabric care label to see whether it can be ironed if not, there will be a crossed-out icon of an iron. If there's no label, try to figure out what material it's made of. Be very careful with polyester fabrics, since applying the high heat necessary for ironing on patches can burn the fabric or cause it to get discolored.
Think about design and placement. Before you heat up the iron, lay out your jacket, sash or backpack and decide where exactly you want the patch to be placed. If this is the only patch you intend to iron on this piece, put it in a tastefully prominent position. Make the placement look intentional.
If you're planning on ironing on more patches, like you would for a girl scout's sash or any other type of collection, plan ahead to make sure there will be room for additional patches. If you are using a printable paper patch, remember that letters and other asymmetrical items will appear reversed. Part 2. Lay the base item on a flat, heat-resistant surface.
An ironing board is useful, but if you don't have one, you may also lay your item across a doubled-up bath towel on a sturdy table. If it's a backpack or another item that's difficult to iron, do your best to arrange it so that the part of the fabric that will be receiving the patch is flat against a hard surface.
Place the patch in the position you chose. The adhesive side should be flat against the base fabric. Make sure that the patch isn't crooked. On embroidered patches, the adhesive side is the underside. On transfer paper patches, the adhesive side is the side where the image is printed. Are you looking for more biker patch ideas?
