A Method Flow Tell You How to Use Transfer Paper on Fabric

Hi, good afternoon, my dear friends! Have you remember one artical in a few days ago? The artical is about how to use transfer paper on vinyl. Then did you try it by yourself? The method is very good. So today I want to tell you the topic is about how to use transfer paper on fabric. And I hope you are interiested in it!

6 steps tell you how to operate it perfectly!
1. Wash your fabric. Your design will stick better if you wash the fabric, or use a pre-washed fabric. Wash your fabric in accordance with the manufacturer recommendations and allow it to dry completely before transferring any design onto it.
2. Print your heat transfer design if you are using a photo or intricate design. If you are transferring a photo or intricate design, use a printable heat transfer paper. This allows you to print out your design directly from your computer using a heavy paper setting.

• Remember that your design will be mirrored when you print it, so if you are including text or want to preserve direction in your image, you will need to flip it horizontally in a photo editing software before printing.

3. Print a template if you are transferring a solid pattern. If you are transferring a simple pattern in just 1 or 2 colors, you can print your template directly on your heat transfer vinyl sheets. Then, use a precision knife or scissors to cut out your design.

• Remember that your design will be mirrored when you print it. If you are including text or want to preserve direction in your design, you will need to flip it horizontally in a photo editing software prior to printing.
• If you have a die cutting machine, you can use it to cut your vinyl design, instead.

4. Arrange your design on the fabric with the backing facing up. Once your design is prepped, arrange it on your fabric. Once you start to iron on the pattern you cannot move or rearrange it. Take time now to ensure everything is where you want it. Make sure that the backing is facing up, as you want to iron the backing, not the vinyl.

5. Use a heat transfer machine to transfer your design. Different transfer papers require different heat settings, so be sure to check the manufacturer's requirements to properly heat your iron. Then, slowly move the hot iron over the backing. Typically, you will want to hold the iron over each part of the design for 10-20 seconds to ensure that it sticks completely.

• Be sure to cover the whole design with the iron. Parts of the design that don’t get heat won’t transfer correctly.
• You may want to stick a thin towel or a piece of parchment paper in between the transfer paper and heat transfer machine to prevent wrinkles or scalding.

6. Peel off the backing. Once you have finished using the heat transfer machine on your design, allow it to cool for 30-45 seconds. Then, peel off the backing to reveal your newly completed design. If you find any parts of the transfer still sticking to the backing, run your iron over them again before continuing to peel.
