Begin by prewashing your fabric to remove fillers and starches that
may scorch.  

Press to remove wrinkles; use a flat, slightly padded surface to work
on.  

Protect your ironing surface with an old sheet or piece of heavy
paper; transfer lines may go through some fabrics.  

Choose natural fabrics such as 100% cotton, linen, hemp cloth, and
muslin (or any blend of these) for the best results.  Avoid
synthetics; they can melt and pucker under high heat, and loose
shape under the stretch of an embroidery hoop.

Use a DRY (no steam) iron, on a medium-high setting.  Always use
the TEST motifs provided in each pattern to make sure the heat
setting and stamping time is correct. This can vary depending on
different fabrics, irons, and temperature settings.

Our transfers can give many impressions, often 3 or more.  Lines
will become darker the longer you press.  However don't apply iron
longer than necessary to avoid scorching.  This will also extend the
number of times you will be able to use the transfers.

Additional stampings may require a little more time applying the
iron,.  Cover transfer with a sheet of plain paper if necessary, to
avoid scorching fabric.  

Placing a sheet of paper over a transfer that has been trimmed too
close to the lines is also helpful to prevent scorching.
