This patch was exactly what I needed to turn my plain black canvas purse into a true Betty Boop accessory. I used my small craft iron to apply it. It took a few more seconds and several additional passes, but that may have been due to my craft iron not being quite hot enough. No worries through. It still turned out great! The patch is great quality, seems durable. With a few additional iron-on hearts and a heart strap (also got on Amazon), it is just the cutest little purse. I love it!
