Best Iron On Transfers Buying Guide
Before choosing the best iron on transfers you should consider following options:
1. Decide the image you want to make. There are many different kinds of iron-on transfers available. Some will leave a sticky back, which you can adhere to a T-shirt, while others will leave a finished look that can be used on a variety of materials.
2. Look at the instructions on the package. Depending on the type of transfer you’ve purchased, you may need to preheat the iron or wash the material before applying the transfer.
3. Choose the appropriate iron. If you’re applying a transfer to a T-shirt, you can iron on a lower heat setting. If you’re applying a transfer to iron-on vinyl, you may need a hotter iron.
4. Apply heat to the appropriate setting. Avoid applying too much heat or you may damage the material. Let the iron sit on the transfer for the amount of time indicated on the package.
5. Peel away the backing when the transfer is cooled. If the transfer left a sticky back, peel the backing away. If the transfer left a finished look, carefully trim away any excess material.
6. Wash the T-shirt or other apparel. Whether you applied a sticky back or finished look, wash the apparel in preparation for wear.
7. Iron on transfers can add some fun to your wardrobe. You can put names on jerseys for sporting events, put inspirational quotes on a T-shirt for a pick-me-up, or even add a family crest to a shirt or jacket. The possibilities are endless.
