White garments made from 100% cotton with a plain (smooth) surface are best for iron-on transfers.

You can also make transfers to garments made from 100% linen or cotton and polyester mix as long as they have a plain (smooth) surface.

The label will not adhere properly to any cloth with a rough surface, such as pile or denim, or with a waterproof surface. Heat-sensitive materials, such as nylon, acetate or other similar fibers, are also unsuitable as they may be damaged when pressing with an iron at a high temperature.

Do not move the iron while pressing. The label may move out of the desired posi- tion. Press the iron vertically down onto the cloth.

After the backing tape has been removed, the transferred label may appear glossy. In addition, some white spots may have appeared on the label if it was touched while the backing tape was peeled off. These can be removed by ironing over the label with a piece of cloth placed between the label and the iron.

The label will have a white background on colored cloth.

Since the transferred label cannot be removed once it is applied, make all transfers

with care.

Washing:

Garments with transfer labels can be washed over 20 times if the label has been trans- ferred correctly. Normal biological and non-biological household detergents may be used.

The label may become discolored if the garment is placed in bleach for an extended length of time.

Be careful that hard objects such as buckles or buttons do not come into contact with the label during the wash.

Do not dry clean garments which have had transfer labels applied.

Drying:

Garments with transfer labels may be dried either inside or outside out.

Do not tumble dry. The transfers will come off and may stick to other items of clothing.
