Getting Started with Transfer Types
Different projects need different types of transfers. For example, when working on regular, 
everyday t-shirts, Iron on Transfers for T-shirts work okay both for light and dark fabric. 
They may be applied right at home and survive many washings provided they are selected 
correctly. It's just a matter of matching the transfer type with your fabric and intended use.
Quality Matters
The quality of your transfer design will pretty much impact how long it lasts. Heat-resistant inks and 
sturdy adhesives are what make the difference between a design that lasts years and one that falls 
apart quickly. Be sure to examine the temperature requirements and washing instructions when 
shopping for transfers. Better quality transfers frequently require special heat settings but reward 
you with better durability.
Consider Your Fabric
The type of fabric you choose will determine which 
transfer type will be your best option. Cotton 
blends take most transfer types well, whereas 
synthetic requires special considerations. DTF 
transfers really show well on difficult fabrics such 
as polyester and moisture-wicking materials. They 
create a great bond that flexes with the fabric 
instead of cracking.

Design 
Complexity
Simple is often better only in transfers. Now, with 
the advanced technology of today, intricate 
designs in gem transfers can be very beautiful, 
letting you create detailed artwork that stays put. 
Consider its color, size, and level of detail. Such 
intricate designs might cost a little more but are 
sure to give back to you marvelous results worth 
that investment.

Testing and 
Application
Before committing to a large project, test your 
chosen transfer on a scrap piece of similar fabric. 
This helps you nail down the right temperature, 
pressure, and timing. Pay attention to how the 
transfer feels after cooling - it should be smooth and 
well-bonded without any lifting edges.

Care Instructions
Even the best transfer design needs proper care 
to last. Look for transfers that can handle regular 
washing and drying. Some might require special 
treatment like cold water washing or air drying. 
The proper care keeps your designs looking 
fresh and prevents premature wear.
