Instructions
For optimal results, we recommend using a heat press with all our transfers. While an iron can be used, for the best application and longest durability, we strongly advise using a heat press. As all heat presses are different, please understand these instructions are a guideline only. We assume no responsibility for damage to your garment or transfers during the application process.
Washing instructions: Wash in cold water delicate cycle inside out, dry on low. Do not use bleach, bleach alternative or fabric softener
Below you will find instructions for application of our heat transfer materials.
Pre-press garments for 10 seconds prior to application
Suitable fabrics: cotton, polyester, spandex, blends
DTF (Direct to Film)
1. Place image up on garment, cap, or bag
2. Press at 300F for 8 seconds with heavy pressure.
3. Peel film off when cold
4. Cover with teflon or parchment paper and repress at 300F for 8 seconds
Spangles
Heat Press Instructions:
1. Remove the white backing from the transfer.
2.. Place the transfer sticky side down (image up) onto the fabric.
3. It is now ready to press with your heat press machine : 300 F medium pressure 10 seconds
4. Peel hot at an angel and hold down garment while peeling. If the spangles did not stick, simply lay the transfer back down and re-press.
Iron-on Instructions:
1. Remove the white backing from the transfer.
2. Place the transfer sticky side down onto the fabric (image up).
3. Set the iron to the medium setting.
5. You want to iron on a hard flat surface (not a padded ironing board). Place a thin pressing cloth over the design. Apply pressure only with NO STEAM by placing the iron directly on top of the design and holding it in place for 20 seconds. For larger designs, you will have to do this in sections.
6. Wait for the transfer tape to cool but still remain a little warm to the touch then slowly remove it. If any of the spangle remain on the tape, simply lay it back down and iron over those stones.
7. Once the transfer tape is removed, turn the garment inside out and iron the design following the instructions above. This helps pull the adhesive into the fabric.
Rhinestones
Heat Press Instructions
1. Remove the white backing from the transfer.
2. Check to make sure no stones have moved out of place. If any have moved simply put them back in place with a pair of tweezers.
3. Place the transfer sticky side down onto the fabric. You may want to use a thin pressing cloth between fabrics layers to prevent the adhesive from gluing the layers together.
4. It is now ready to press with your heat press machine : 325F light to medium pressure 15 seconds
5. Let the transfer cool till it is warm to the touch then slowly peel off the plastic tape. If the stones did not stick, simply lay the transfer back down and re-press.
