How do I create my image?
 

Design your image on the computer using photos, graphics and/or text. “Mirror image” before you print.
This may also be referred to as “Flip/horizontal” in your computer program’s tools. Many printers offer
mirror image”, “t-shirt mode” or “reverse mode” in their printer settings options. You may wish to test your final image by printing to a plain piece of paper first. Insert a single transfer sheet into your printer so that printing appears on the white, not the blue side of the transfer sheet. Print the image using the chart below as a guideline for your specific printer. Allow image to dry 30 minutes before transferring. Cut out image if desired. Trim approximately 1/4” from colored ink areas.

How do I iron the Soft 'n Stretchy (Light) Transfer Sheets?
 

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). Place a 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 garment or project to remove any moisture and wrinkles. Position transfer image side DOWN on project surface. Using firm pressure, slowly iron over the entire surface with sufficient overlapping (1) side-to-side (2) bottom to top and (3) along the edge moving continuously for 2-3 minutes. Remove transfer backing paper immediately or when it cools. Depending upon the material used, a gentle pulling / stretching motion applied to the fabric after removal of the backing sheet may aid in the process of the transfer setting into the fibers.
