I do presume you are meaning a patch you sew onto your clothes? Well yes it can shrink. There is achually a way to cut strips of material so that it will not shrink.

I hope this helps :)

How do you shrink things?

Shrinking things involves reducing their size or dimensions. This can be done physically (e.g., using a heat source to shrink plastic) or digitally (e.g., scaling down images or documents on a computer). The method used to shrink something will depend on the material and desired outcome.


What does shrank mean?

Shrank is the past-tense of shrink. If something was to have shrank (or the more grammatically accepted shrunk), it would've gotten smaller than it's original size, or less than its original amount.


How do you shrink clothes in dryer?

To shrink clothes in the dryer, wash the item in hot water and then place it in the dryer on the highest heat setting. Keep an eye on the item as it dries and remove it once it has reached the desired size. Be aware that not all fabrics will shrink in the dryer, so it's recommended to check the care label before attempting to shrink the clothes.


Can a shirt shrink on a dryer?

Yes, a shirt can shrink in the dryer if it is exposed to high heat. The heat in the dryer can cause the fibers in the fabric to contract, resulting in the shirt becoming smaller in size. It is recommended to follow the care instructions on the label to prevent shrinking.


How do clothes shrink?

When clothes shrink, the fibers that make up the fabric constrict due to exposure to heat, agitation (such as being tumbled in a dryer), and/or changes in pH levels (as in the case of washing with hot water or harsh chemicals). This causes the fibers to shorten and become tighter, resulting in the overall garment size reducing.
