If your iron-on patch isn't sticking, it might be due to insufficient heat or pressure. Ensure your iron is set to the correct temperature (usually “cotton” setting) and apply firm, even pressure for around 30-40 seconds. Also, check for any fabric treatments like waterproofing that might interfere with adhesion.
