SINGER 00097 Iron-On Mending Fabric, Fabric Patch for Mending ClothesWhite, White

I bought this for mending my very thin Duvet cover, that my cats murder mittens have ripped holes into. I have mended it and washed it multiple times and the patches that I have cut to size to iron over the rips have not bugged! I'm impressed with this product. I cut out appropriate sizes of the vinyl and iron over the fabric with a dry,hot iron and its invisible. It would be awesome if it came in clear too, but white on the inside, you cant tell unless you're looking for it. I'd buy this again

Update: It’s been 5 months and I’ve washed the blouse at least once a week (a few weeks up to three times), the patch is still perfect! It is the same white color; no yellowing! The corners and edges are still adhered to the garment; no rolling! The cuts that I made on the patch have not frayed either! I’m very impressed with the value I’ve gotten out of these patches! I highly recommend this product! I have put another patch on a garment with a scratchy tag that was sewed into the seam so you can’t cut it out. Covering the tag with this patch has been wonderful! I did cutoff as much of the tag as I could so that I could iron on and have it adhere to the garment as much as possible. This has worked as well and it’s been washed for about 3 months and still no issues! It’s nice to know products can still be made with quality and not everything is junk! ———original——- So I used this for the first time and ironed on a patch where a blouse got ripped at the collar from a hanger that had a nail or staple sticking out of it at a hotel (this why I like the plastic hangers). So I cut out a patch 3 times the size of the tear and ironed it on from the inside and then a small patch on the outside to just cover the tear. It looks good and it is completely covered by the collar. I like how thin these are and once ironed on they are a bit translucent so you can see the blouses pattern through it and it seems to move with the cloth instead of being rigid like most patches. With its ability to be on the inside and the thinness of the patch, I really cannot feel it on my neck. So I’m extremely happy with this solution! The big test is how will it hold up in the washer and dryer! Most patches will start curling and losing their adhesive after a couple of washes so we shall see! But for now I’m very happy!

This is great!

If you are looking for a heavy duty patch material which will be under relatively heavy stress, this is not what you want. This is a relatively light patch material which is perfect for those small holes in clothing. Just cut out a patch, then iron it on. Just ironing it on should give you a good bond, but you can also sew it along the edge just to make sure. Unlike some patching material, you can sew through this with no problems. You can also mend longer tears and cuts but match the material composition to the patch and you may want to sew it. My most recent patching job was to a pair of brand new uniform pants I was given. The material was quite a bit heavier than that of my usual patching efforts, but it all still worked well. Of course the sewing made sure that the patch material would hold. My problem was that the former owner had cut the legs to fit his somewhat shorter height so there was barely enough material for a 3/8 inch hem. I cut two long strip of this material 1.5 inches wide, then folded them in half, hot-iron bonded them to each leg and, finally, sewed them to each leg all of which lengthened the legs and will keep them from fraying. Then I sewed the hem as it would usually be done. The lengthening does not show because it is inside the pant legs and the pant legs are now long enough. In the past I have usually purchased this material in much smaller squares so it was nice to have this much larger piece. I have used the material to patch all sorts of things. Getting three pieces for just slightly more than the price of one was a great deal. If you are mending something like a shirt, cut the patch out with a pinking shears which will help the patch blend into the material and the outline will be less likely to show through the material. Experiment a bit to see what heat is best with your iron.

My iron has a steam control and a temperature level setting. When I saw that I assumed, even though I wasn't planning on using steam, that was probably a good indication of about where I set the iron. I set the dial about 20% above the lowest steam setting. When it worked well I decided to measure the temperature. At that setting the iron seems to control to around 400 degrees F (iron surface temperature). I oversized the patch and I placed a second smaller piece on the opposite side overlapping the actual hole in the fabric. It worked very well. I could not cover the entire area well with the iron while keeping the patch perfectly flat and so I continuously moved the iron as I was heating the patch. Looking back on it I think it's a good idea to keep the iron moving. When I thought I was done there was an area of the patch which let less of the color of the original material show through. This material is pretty thin so, unlike a denim patch for example, the material underneath will show through if there is a color contrast (thin but it does seem like it will be durable). The pocket I was repairing is black and you could clearly see a difference in the area where everything had gotten to the correct temperature for a sufficient length of time and an area which had not. The area which was not heated for long enough still looked like the original patch material (the black original material did not show through). I worked that area with the tip of the iron until it had the same appearance of the rest of the patch. It doesn't turn translucent but that's about the only way I can describe it. When it looks like that it seems to have adhered well. If it still looks like the original patch material you need to heat it longer. There was one review where this received a very poor rating. I suspect their iron may have been set too high. I didn't see that review before I started but I was concerned that it might be possible to overheat the adhesive. After I read that review I though it would be good to try to quantify a temperature which worked well for me. Once you do it there is some visual feedback but you wouldn't know that without having done it once. I used an automotive or HVAC infrared pyrometer (non contact temperature probe) to measure the temperature. Hope this helps others.

Nice big piece you can cut to your needs. Irons on easiky and sticks very fast. I haven't tried washing it multiple times, so I don't know how long it would stay on. I use it to mend on the reverse side, then I always sew a colorful patch on the top side so I've never had a problem of it coming off.

Not quite invisible. I tried them on a raincoat and were too noticeable; so took them off.

Worked perfectly

Déçu de mon achat le tissu ne tien pas il se décolle

Es un producto muy caro para las dimensiones que tiene

Essential for iron on mending. Easy to apply So far holds on to the fabric well. Am using on torn sheet and cotton fabrics Good find .

Comes off

product was as described. I needed a cotton patch to mend a sheet But having to wait a month for delivery was unacceptable. Always expect very prompt delivery from Amazon and is my go to when I need something urgently Will be a bit more careful in future
