SINGER Denim & Twill Iron-On Patches Combo, 8pc Assorted

Easy to iron on and it stays on

Easy to use

I purchased these iron on patches because my favorite pair of Levi's had holes wearing on the edges of each back pocket. One pocket had actually torn a hole about 1/2 of an inch in diameter. The patches arrived on time and in the original packaging. The instructions that came with the patches were clear and concise. I actually cut the larger package into smaller pieces (approximately 1 inch squares) so I used only a small portion of one patch. The patches applied with no issues and appear to be holding up well with no peeling edges. I'll have to wait and see how they hold up after a few washes though.I am completely satisfied with the product and would recommend them to others. They saved my favorite jeans from an early demise!Update: After just a few days the patches started to peel in places. I quite sure I ironed the patches on for a sufficient length of time. I will attempt to re-iron the patches or apply new patches to see if they hold any better. It may be that the patches are over the corners of the pockets themselves and maybe they just don't apply well to that non-flat area.

Worked perfectly!

The patches work best when applied on both sides of the fabric. One on top of the hole you want to patch and another underneath. I found that when you only do one patch it tends to lift up and come off a lot quicker. But for a quick fix until you can get a new clothes pair they’re ok.

Exactly what I needed

Had a pocket spring a leak on one of my favorite shorts and following the instructions it worked as advertised. I did heat the pocket a bit with the iron then placed the patch and ironed some more and could not be any happier. Yes I would recommend.

These are iron-on twill patches for jeans and slacks. You get black, khaki, navy, and a medium-denim. I've never needed to patch jeans before, so I wasn't sure what to expect, but my husband somehow wore a large hole just below the waistband of his work jeans, right under the belt loop. I was worried the patch would be obvious and ugly, but much to my surprise, it wasn't! You can hardly see it.First, I cut a patch that's about 1/2" wider than the hole. I trimmed the loose threads around the hole, then I used a hot iron to press the area, smoothing the fabric out and preheating it. Before sticking the patch on, I slipped a scrap of muslin underneath, so I wouldn't accidentally adhere the patch to my ironing board. Turns out, I didn't need it, but it's a wise precaution to take. Once everything was ready, I placed the patch over the hole and covered it with the iron, holding it in place for 45 seconds, as directed. It adhered quite nicely, with no peeling or loose edges. And best of all, the denim blends in with the jeans, so you can hardly tell it's there! The hole is still visible from the inside of the jeans, so I don't know how it's going to hold up in the long run. (If necessary, I'll come back and update my review.)The packaging did warn that the patch could come loose in the wash, so my husband is under strict instructions to inspect the patch, making sure it's still secure before tossing the jeans in the dryer. I have visions of the patch loosening, then sticking to something else from the dryer's heat. But then, I'm paranoid like that! (As mentioned above, if there's any problem with the patch, I'll come back and revise this review.)I was pleasantly surprised with how nice these patches turned out. The one I put on my husband's jeans is barely visible, and it saved them from the donation bin. I'm hopeful that my husband will get at least another year's wear out of them. The only thing I didn't like was that the patches were stapled together (with industrial staples) in two different places. It was a pain to remove the staples, and I didn't care for the tiny holes they left behind. Other than that, though, I'm happy with this product.Four stars and recommended to anyone who needs to repair a small to medium-sized hole or frayed spot in jeans or work slacks.
