I use iron on patches all the time and you're right eventually they do wash and become unfused...I usually eventually have to end up sowing a square around the patch to keep it on the jeans. Also not all pants can have a patch ironed on them. I have a pair of grey jeans that I tried to put a patch on in the back just below the belt loops, thankfully I realized that the iron was burning the pants early on...eventually the burn mark faded and you can't really see it anymore but I had to sow the patch on with black & white thread to make sure it would stay. I've had other pants rip on me before each for different reasons and what I did to fix them was send them to my local cleaners who usually have a seamstress on hand and they fixed em right up for like 5 bucks or so and did a really good job...this is when I couldn't try and patch them up myself. You may want to try that if there is one located near you.
Asta!!
