Easy to Appy Directions

Easy to Apply Directions
1. Always iron on a hard, flat surface (no padded ironing board)
2. Before peeling off the backing, center your design on the
3. Pull off the backing
4. Place the sticky-side down onto fabric. If not in the desired position, lift and replace.
5. Place Teflon or cotton pressing cloth over top of design. The cloth protects the garment, we prefer Teflon because we've scorched so many cotton pressing cloths and Teflon conducts heat well.
6. Set the iron on medium or wool setting-NO STEAM! You may adjust the temperature as needed, all irons are different. If your material is thin, you may want to put a pressing cloth or flat cardboard inside the shirt.
7. Iron directly on top of the Teflon sheet for a minimum of 45-60 seconds. Heavier fabrics like denim might need a bit more time, and light fabrics like silk will need less time. Do not move the iron; just let it sit in place. If your iron has steam holes, you lose some surface contact. We recommend pressing across the garment up and down and side to side. 8. Once cool, the sticky paper is easier to remove if you run your hot iron over it to quickly heat the adhesive.
Note: if some studs do not stick, go over it with the front half of the iron, not the tip (you may dent the stud) or put the plastic back down and repeat step #7.
If the pieces are not sticking, you are not melting the adhesive. 9. After the plastic is removed, turn the shirt inside-out, place the Teflon sheet inside the shirt (to prevent the glue from sticking to the back of the shirt) and re-press the shirt for about 15 seconds with 5 seconds of pressure. This will draw the glue deep into the fabric of the shirt. If the shirt is a heavy sweatshirt or denim material, iron it from the top-side using pressure and the Teflon sheet. Your project is now complete!
Now is the time to make sure that everything is properly adhered. Rub your hands across the design, up and down, back and forth, using your fingernails. Don't be afraid. If anything feels loose, you can re-press it with the Teflon. You want to make sure that it will wash and dry with no problem. If you ever notice any loose pieces while wearing or after laundry, cover design with a pressing cloth and re-iron. The glue is still there, and you can re-activate it into the garment. Test it! Again, if the adhesive isn't melted, the pieces won't stick. Your iron is the variable. When properly applied, transfers are fully machine-washable, and dryable. Turn inside out before wash. If you need to iron the garment, press from the wrong side with a dry Fabrics That May Or May Not Be Used! YES: Cottons, cotton blends, wool, silk, velveteen, velour, denim (the softer the better), t-shirts and sweatshirts are probably your easiest fabrics. Always test fabrics if you're not sure, read the garment hang tag. NO: nylon jackets, velvet, acrylic, leather, vinyl, trigger (fabrics with a finish).
