Make it last

Maximize the life of your iron-on projects after washing with these suggestions.

• Before iron-on application
  For awesome results, always pre-wash and thoroughly dry your fabrics. When washing, do not use a fabric softener. If you have no time for washing, you’ll still get pretty great results.
• During iron-on application
  Just before the transfer, preheat your base fabric for 3-5 seconds to remove wrinkles and moisture. After adhering to your design, flip your fabric and repeat on the other side. Use the same settings.
• After iron-on application
  Wait at least 24 hours before washing, Always wash inside-out. Do not bleach. Wash only in cool water, then tumble dry low or lay flat to dry. For foil iron-on, hand-wash in cold water only.
