Before we get started, let me tell you these are gadgets and tools you should keep side by;

- Zig zag scissors
- Adhesive remover (Optional)
- Piece of fabric
- Detergent (for wash)

Guide Yourself for Removing Iron-On Heat Press Patch
There are 5 in total quick steps that you can follow to do this.
Step #1 Preparing
Prepare you clothing (shirt/jacket/shirt etc.) for reheat by spreading over on iron board or flat surface.
- Make sure the target place is wide open and workable.
- Preheat the iron on regular temperature without steam settings.
Step #2 Re-heating
Heating cuts off heat stick. This step means to activate the heat friendly backing for iron, so you can begin detachment.
- Put a a piece of thin cloth over the patch to ensure your clothing do not get impacted.
- Put the hot iron onto the patch now for 15-20 seconds
Step #3 Peeling Off
You can not separate patch until edges are bonded with garment. Check if they are lifting.
If not; use tweezers and start pulling off carefully. If it does not work, apply more heat until you remove it completely. Be gentle and patient meanwhile.
Step #4 Using Adhesive Remover (Optional)
I would recommend using adhesive remover if you see adhesive residue left on the garment. Use cotton swab to do this.
You can also use any soft piece of cloth. Give a little time to adhesive remover to do a magic.
Step #5 Washing and Drying
Once you see most of the thread particles removed, it is time to wash. Do not ignore care instructions of the clothing while washing it off.
The last thing is to dry the workable part of garments. You can do so using hair dryer in house.
Again, follow recommend heat settings as per fabric.
