HTV Definitions
Mirrored: The design we send you is mirrored. Meaning, when you put it down it is opposite to what you will see.
Carrier Sheet: This is the clear film that the design is attached to.
HTV: Stands for heat transfer vinyl. It is a polyurothane material on a clear carrier sheet.
STEPS
Find the type of vinyl below. Types of HTV we offer include EasyWeed, Glitter or Holographic.
Follow the instructions for iron or heat press. Either will work.
DO NOT press for a longer time. This will DAMAGE the design and it will peel.
Fabric Choices
ONLY use the HTV on 100% cotton, 100% polyestter, cotton/polyester blends and leather.
DO NOT use on fabric that you cannot iron. Some fabric will melt.
