What are heat transfer vinyls suitable for?

Heat transfer vinyl is ideal for hobby sewers who want to create personalized projects: Lettering, small labels, club or team shirts and decorative appliqués. They adhere firmly to cotton, polyester blended fabrics and many other textile materials, can be cut well for tighter details and create a clean, matt to slightly shiny appearance - depending on the type of film.

Processing: Here's how

• Create the design and mirror it in the cutting machine if necessary - especially important for text.
• Cut the film with suitable knife/plotter settings and weed carefully.
• Place the design with the carrier foil on the textile and iron on firmly or press with a transfer press.
• Remove the backing film (hot or cold, depending on the film) and repress if necessary.
• Wash the textile according to the manufacturer's instructions before wearing it for the first time (usually inside out at a moderate temperature).
