Reverse your image and print your image to size onto heat transfer paper.
Check the fabric to make sure it is free of lint and dirt or hair. Iron the fabric to make sure it is smooth.
Cut around the image and remove excess paper. The transfer paper is clear, so you don't have to get right up to the edge for an intricate pattern. The dark transfer paper does require more detail since it is often opaque.
Place the image face down in position on the fabric.
Iron with NO STEAM for the best bond. Empty the reservoir tank. Thinner fabrics, like cotton - Iron 60 seconds for smaller images and 2 minutes for images larger than 8x8. Sturdy Fabrics, like Canvas - 60 seconds for smaller images and 2 minutes for images larger than 8x8.
Peel off the backing paper as soon as it is cool enough to touch. You want the transfer to be HOT while peeling for best results. Also, move in a smooth and even motion or you may get lines in your transfer.
