Quick answer

Attach your SIGNALIS patch set using either iron-on adhesive for quick application or sew-on stitching for long-lasting durability. Display them on jackets, bags, or framed fabric for a clean look.

Why attachment method matters

The SIGNALIS Patch Set includes four embroidered twill patches (AEON, Sierpinski, Eusan Nation, Operation Penrose). The method you choose affects how well they stay put and how reversible the attachment is. Iron-on is fast and works well on cotton or poly-cotton blends, but the adhesive can weaken over time with frequent washing. Sewing is more permanent and holds up better on bags that get tossed around or jackets that go through the laundry.

Display considerations

Patches can be displayed on fabric items like denim jackets, canvas totes, or backpacks. For a wall display, iron or sew them onto a piece of felt or sturdy fabric and frame it. Avoid attaching to stretchy or very thin materials, as the patch weight may cause puckering or distortion.

How to attach your SIGNALIS patches

  1. Choose your attachment method: Decide between iron-on (easy, temporary) or sew-on (durable, permanent). If you want to reposition later, start with iron-on. For daily carry items, sew them on. Iron-on is not recommended for items that are washed frequently.
  2. Prepare the fabric surface: Place the garment or fabric on a flat, heat-resistant surface. Pre-heat your iron to the cotton setting (no steam). If using iron-on, cover the patch with a thin cloth to protect the embroidery. Always test a hidden area of the fabric first to ensure it can handle the heat.
  3. Position and press (iron-on method): Place the patch where you want it. Press firmly with the iron for 15-20 seconds without moving it. Let the patch cool completely before checking adhesion. If the patch lifts at the edges, repeat pressing for another 10 seconds.
  4. Sew for permanence (sew-on method): Use a needle and thread matching the patch edge color. Sew a simple running stitch around the entire border, about 1/8 inch from the edge. For round patches, make small stitches every 1/4 inch. A tight zigzag stitch on a sewing machine works best for heavy-use items.
  5. Plan your layout: Arrange all four patches on the item before attaching. The larger Sierpinski patch can be the centerpiece, with the round patches flanking it. The AEON patch fits well on a sleeve or front pocket. Take a photo of the layout before you start so you can recreate it if you remove patches.
