The Heat-Transfer Patch ROTH Dolphin Iron-On Embroidery & Print for DIY School Cone, Size 145 x 165 mm is a single textile motif combining embroidered-look details with printed elements. Designed for application to fabric school cones (Schultüte), children's gifts, costumes and other textile crafts, the patch is intended for heat application by household iron or heat press and measures approximately 145 x 165 mm.
Advantages
This iron-on motif integrates embroidery-style texture with precise printed colors to achieve a detailed dolphin design while keeping application simple. Its medium size (approximately 145 x 165 mm) fits many common DIY school cones and larger fabric surfaces. The patch is supplied ready to heat-apply, which reduces preparation time compared with separate embroidery or sewing work and allows quick personalization of textile items.
Suitable for
- Personalizing fabric school cones (Schultüte) and children’s gift bags
- Decorating costumes, tote bags and textile craft projects
- Repairing or covering small worn areas on fabric surfaces
- Fast customisation of textile products at home or in small workshops
When it may not be suitable
This heat-transfer patch is intended for fabrics that tolerate the temperature and pressure of a household iron or heat press; it may not adhere properly to heat-sensitive materials such as some synthetics, coated fabrics or very delicate textiles. Very small or unusually shaped surfaces may not accommodate the full-sized motif without trimming, which could affect the design.
Key specifications
- Size: approximately 145 x 165 mm (width x height)
- Type: heat-transfer iron-on motif combining embroidered-look details with printed elements
- Quantity: single patch supplied
- Intended substrates: textile fabrics suitable for heat application (cotton, cotton blends, similar heat-tolerant materials)
- Application method: household iron or heat press
How to use
Place the patch on a clean, dry and flat area of the fabric with the design facing up and the adhesive side down. Preheat the fabric briefly if needed, position the motif, then apply a household iron or heat press at the recommended temperature and pressure for similar heat-transfer products. Hold the iron or press steadily for the required time, allow the patch to cool as instructed, and then remove any protective carrier if present. For best adhesion, follow standard heat-application precautions and test on a scrap of matching fabric if unsure.
What to consider before purchase
- Check that the fabric can withstand heat application (avoid heat-sensitive synthetics and coated materials)
- Confirm the patch size (145 x 165 mm) fits the intended decoration area
- Decide whether the single-patch quantity meets your project needs or if multiple motifs are required
- Plan for correct ironing or pressing equipment and a flat surface for application
Usage recommendations
For durable results, apply to pre-washed fabric, press with even pressure, and allow adequate cooling before use. When decorating items that will be frequently washed, use gentle washing cycles and avoid high-temperature drying to extend adhesion.
