Tips & Warnings

Make sure you stamp a dark, perfect image on the paper before attempting to transfer it onto the fabric.
If you peel the transfer and it is not coming off the paper completely then lay it back down and go over it again with the hot iron.
When washing stamped items it is best to turn the clothing inside-out if possible and wash in cold water with mild detergent to prevent fading.
Permanent ink works best for longer wear.
