If memory serves me right I believe this is the way they did mine. No taking this patch off now for sure.
I haven't found anyone who demands my patch to be removed because of the depiction of the Rebel Flag.....

Interesting because I thought the iron on was least effective on the larger patches.

No bases near by but the bike nite events usually has vendors that sell patches and have a machine to sew them on.
