Iron on Transfers
Hugs 'n Kisses is now producing iron on transfers. Many of our patterns include these simple to use and great value for money transfers.
The transfers use a specialink. They will transfer several times onto 100% cotton fabric. They will also iron onto Polyester and poly/cottons.
Place printed side down onto fabric
(we recommend prewashing your fabric to remove any chemicals)
Use the transfer test on your sheet to determine your iron heat setting and pressing time as all irons differ.
Press firmly with dry iron for 5-10seconds. A hard or firm surface is best. If your ironing board is soft use a thin towel on a hard bench surface or similar.
Do not slide iron, lift gently and reposition. (hold down one corner with a finger when you lift) Sliding will slightly move your transfer sheet and make your lines thicker or even blurred.
Lift corner of paper to check before removing transfer sheet from material. The longer you press the darker the transfer.
Ink may wash out of 100% cotton fabric however we do not guarantee this due to chemicals used in many fabrics. I have not been able to completely remove the ink from any fabric yet although it will fade with repeated washings so follow the process carefully so that your lines will be as thin as the originals.
They will be permanent on fabric with any poly or synthetic content
Correctly transferred fine lines are easily covered by a single strand of stitching thread.
Note that the transfer paper appears black but will transfer as a grey/blue colour onto your fabric.
