    Time, temperature and pressure are all extremely important factors when applying patch, so do check all of these factors are correct for each vinyl you use.Time – If your pressing time is too long or too short it will cause HTV to peel away from your garment. If all the conditions required are correctly met, you would only need to press once, extra repressing for a 2nd  / 3rd time  and or from Front and Back  should NOT be required and doing this will cause issues with your HTV adhering and causing it to fail.Temperature – There is no temperature setting that suits all vinyl.   to ensure you are pressing at the recommended temperature for the vinyl you are using. If you are using a domestic iron – most settings will be around the cotton setting (not quite the highest setting depending upon your iron)  and have your steam function turned off. Do not press onto Granite or stone surfaces as these will absorb the heat from your iron.Pressure – This issue is encountered more when using an iron. The pressure is only regulated by how much pressure you manually apply using the above items during the application process.  You need to be pushing down super hard, on a firm flat surface, with both hands and combined with the top half of your body weight, to imitate the same pressure that would be achieved with a regular heavy duty heat press. Your hands are likely to shake from the pressure needed.Do not use an ironing board if pressing with an iron, this is just not a firm/strong enough surface to be able to apply the pressure and may result in the ironing board collapsing (this demonstrates the pressure you should be applying). If you are on a table for instance, the pressure being applied will be like you are trying to push your iron through the table itself and come out the other side!). Good surfaces to use will be a solid table, kitchen worktop or a hard floor.


    The image of Santa Maria De Guadalupe is iconic. This is your chance to personalise a jacket or bag with these beautiful and detailed patches.

    With her head tilted to the right, her hazel eyes are cast downward in an expression of gentleness and concern. The mantle covering her head and shoulders is turquoise, studded with gold stars and bordered in gold. Her hair is jet black and her complexion is olive. She stands alone, her hands clasped in prayer, an angel at her feet.

    We have all seen her image. She is Our Lady of Guadalupe, a life-sized portrayal of the Virgin Mary as she appeared in 1531 on the cactus-cloth tilma, or cape, of St. Juan Diego, an Aztec peasant and devout convert. This happened merely a dozen years after Hernando Cortes had conquered the land that is now Mexico for the monarchy of Spain. Almost five centuries later the colors of that portrait have remained as vibrant as if painted this year. The coarse, woven, cactus cloth shows no signs of fading or deterioration, although that type of material seldom lasts twenty years.

    Today the image is preserved behind an impenetrable glass screen in the basilica at Mexico City. Pilgrims can view it from a distance of twenty-five feet. Each year more than ten million persons venerate the mysterious image of the Virgin of Guadalupe, making this shrine the most popular in the Catholic world after St. Peter’s Basilica at Vatican City. The Mexican faithful refer to her lovingly as La Morenita.

    In 1979 when Pope John Paul II visited the Basilica of Our Lady of Guadalupe, he acknowledged the enduring appeal of this unique portrait, addressing the Virgin directly: “When the first missionaries who reached America . . . taught the rudiments of the Christian faith, they also taught love for you, the Mother of Jesus and of all people. And ever since the time that the Indian Juan Diego spoke of the sweet Lady of Tepeyac, you, Mother of Guadalupe, have entered decisively into the Christian life of the people of Mexico.”

    Accounts abound of the miraculous events attributed to the Virgin of Guadalupe. In the early seventeenth century when floods almost destroyed Mexico City, her image escaped unharmed. In 1921 during the Mexican Revolution, a bomb was planted in flowers placed before the altar behind which the image hung. When the bomb exploded, no one was hurt, but the altar was badly damaged, yet not even the glass covering the picture was broken.

    This venerable icon has come to be regarded widely as the national symbol of Mexico. Her image is found everywhere, even in unlikely places

    We have become a lot more conscious of our impact on our local and global environment in recent years. We’ve often chosen to make do and mend rather than replacing older items of clothing or bags. This has given us a great opportunity to get creative! Patching things up with some beautiful embroidery or giving an older T-shirt a new lease on life with a colourful decorative patch.
