METHODS OF HEAT APPLICATION

Preheat the heat press to 325° Fahrenheit. To remove any moisture from the fabric, press for a few seconds and allow to cool. This aids in better adhesion of the image to the fabric. Place the transfer face down in the desired position and press using light to medium pressure for 10 seconds. Gently rub the transfer for a couple of seconds with a soft cloth and peel the transfer backing.

HAND IRONING YOUR IRON ON TRANSFER IMAGE

Preheat the iron on its highest temperature setting for at least 8 minutes. The iron must be very hot! Do not use steam.

Do not use an ironing board, bare wood, glass, or metal surface for ironing. Place the pillowcase on the ironing surface with the open end hanging over the edge and smooth it flat so that there are no wrinkles.

Place the article on the pillowcase (i.e. T-shirt, sweatshirt, apron, etc.) so that the area that you want the image to be transferred to is centered on the pillowcase surface. Smooth out the fabric so that there are no wrinkles.TIP: You may want to iron the pillowcase and the fabric so that they are both smooth before ironing on the transfer. Be sure to let both of them cool completely before placing the transfer on the fabric.Preheat the garment for a few seconds to remove any excess moisture from the fabric and allow the fabric to cool.

Place the image to be transferred face down on the garment in the desired position.

The image now needs to be 'set' on the fabric (so that it does not move while being transferred). To do this, press the iron firmly over the transfer for 15-20 seconds in several areas, making sure to cover the entire transfer in this process. It is important that you press straight down for this step and lift up the iron completely when repositioning to do another area. Then, using a circular motion and light pressure, evenly heat the transfer for another 15-20 seconds. Put the iron down and gently rub the hot transfer with your soft, clean cloth for 5-10 seconds.
