Hello
DYBL Family,
You all
will be receiving one patch that MUST be attached to your players uniform no
later than Saturday April 14th before your child is dropped off for
the parade. Please see the directions below.
The
Babe Ruth patch must be affixed to the upper left breast of the
uniform jersey. (see the attached picture)
COACHES should place their patch in the same place on their Jersey shirt.
1.
To iron on the
patches, first warm up the iron for 5 minutes (unless it is a rapid heat iron)
on a medium (wool) setting (or higher if possible
without scorching the
fabric). The iron must be hot enough to melt the glue.
2.
Then position the
patch where you want it to permanently be with the glue side against the
fabric.
3.
Press the iron firmly
to the patch and hold for 10 seconds as a test. It usually takes 20-25 seconds
to fully melt the glue, but irons vary, so be careful and don't burn or melt
the fabric. If the glue isn't fully melted or if you handle the patch while the
patch is still warm, the patch may start to come off the fabric. If this
happens, iron it on again. To
prevent burning of the polyester, or patches and to get better adhesion: First, position the
patch in the desired location. Then turn the material inside out and iron
through the material against the underside of the patch. This allows you to see
areas where the glue was not fully contacting with the material, get better
heating and overall a better application. The patches should stay on much
better. Also washing in delicate, or hand wash and lying flat, or clothes line
to dry helps.
4.
You MUST let the Patch
set for a few minutes until it is cool before you handle it.
Thank you all! Have a great week
of fun filled ball!
