How
do I iron the Art-Wear Transfer Sheets? |

Place pillowcase
on smooth, hard, heat resistant ironing surface such as a
wood cutting board. Do not use ironing board. Iron pillowcase,
if necessary, to remove wrinkles. Pre-iron project to remove
any moisture and wrinkles. Position Art-Wear transfer image FACE
UP on project surface. Cover COMPLETELY with
parchment paper provided. NOTE: Parchment
paper can be used for multiple transfer applications.
For 100% Cotton Fabric:
Preheat iron to highest (cotton) setting. DO
NOT USE STEAM. (Empty any water that may be in iron.
Allow iron to preheat for five minutes). First, using FIRM
PRESSURE, holding the iron with both hands and applying
your body weight, iron on each area of the sheet for 20 seconds, making sure to lift the iron completely off the surface when
moving to a new position. Be sure to iron all corners and
edges of the sheet. Then using FIRM
PRESSURE, iron over the entire image using consistent
up/down and side-to-side motion for an additional 1-1/2 minutes, making sure to iron all corners and edges. Allow the parchment
paper to cool for one to two minutes. Gently peel off parchment
paper. If applying multiple images to a single project, it
is recommended that you leave the parchment paper in place
until all images are ironed on so that the heat of other
ironing applications does not affect already fused images.
For 50/50 Polyester Cotton Blend
Fabric:
Preheat iron to medium, medium/high (wool) setting. DO
NOT USE STEAM. (Empty any water that may be in iron.
Allow iron to preheat for five minutes). First, using moderate
pressure, iron over the entire image using consistent up
and down motions for 30 seconds making sure to cover all
corners and edges. Then using moderate pressure, iron over
the entire image using consistent side-to-side motions for
30 seconds, making sure to iron all corners and edges. Repeat
the previous two steps. Iron over entire surface in a circular
motion for an additional minute. (Three minutes total pressing
time). Allow the parchment paper to cool for one to two minutes.
Gently peel off parchment paper. If applying multiple images
to a single project, it is recommended that you leave the
parchment paper in place until all images are ironed on so
that the heat of other ironing applications does not affect
already fused images.
