Here are a few tips and explanations to clarify the process of creating and applying iron-ons. • Print a preview.

Always, always, always print a preview copy of your image before printing it on the (often expensive) transfer paper. Do this to ensure that colors print correctly, that your image doesn't fall into your printer's no-print zone along the margins, and to see the actual size of the design —sometimes the on-screen view can be deceiving.

• Flip the image. Don't forget to flip or mirror the image. This is especially critical if you have text in your design.

The text should be backward on screen and on the printout. Another good reason to print a preview copy first! Some programs can flip the image for you.

Test your design on scrap fabric of the same type and color before applying it to your final T-shirt or other fabric. Some types of fabric may require more ironing than others or may not show off your design as well as you expected. • Use lots of heat.

Use the hottest setting on your iron but no steam. It takes a lot of heat to transfer the image evenly and completely to the fabric. Peel off the paper while it is still hot unless you purchased cool-peel paper. These newer transfer papers allow you to wait up to two minutes before peeling off the backing, so the paper is cooler to the touch. • Use a hard surface. The reason transfer instructions specify a hard surface is because it holds the heat. Ironing boards tend to disperse the heat and the transfer paper needs to be very hot to work properly.

Protect the hard surface with a pillowcase. • Follow the manufacturer's instructions.

Do what the paper manufacturer says. The instructions may provide exact instructions for their specific paper on heat level, how long you should iron the transfer, and how long to wait before separating the paper from your fabric.
