Can you iron an iron-on patch onto Corduroy? I have a basic, solid maroon corduroy cloth purse, and wanted to add on a little patch for decoration. Should it work, and should i use a towl or straight iron it on?thanks.
If you are ironing a patch onto corduroy to repair it, I would turn the corduroy inside out and iron it on the smooth side. That will help repair the hole. If you are bent on ironing on a patch to the outside of corduroy, you are going to have a hard time, because the furry part of the corduroy is just going to come off, and the patch will peel off sooner or later, and it will never look exactly right. You could iron on a patch and then go around it with blanket stitch, if you want the look of a patch on top of the corduroy.
You can go to tandy leather and use an ax all to use a specialilized needle and thread. I have a jacket 28 years old from JC Whitney with a lot of patches (leather and pre fab) that still is bad to the bone. Learn some leather craft or have a friend or have it done by someone familiar with leather work,
