Iron on patches are reasonable too... You just need to use enough heat to make it get contact...

If you take care with cheap Denim Iron On Patches, and use the tip of the iron, you will probably be OK...
Foot Note: I haven't done this since my University Days in the 90's... When I had no real other option! ... These days, I just sniff around the Seconds Shops in Torquay Wettie Capital, and pick up bargains as required...
