Transfer to felt
Some notes about my project: I am transferring a full color coat of arms onto white felt and attaching it to the back of a display case.This product produced fantastic results. Felt is not one of the recommended fabrics, but the transfer went great. All the small details in my source image were there and the colors were almost as vibrant as the source. I created 1 large image from 2 sheets that we taped together using painters tape. The packaging says that you may have to iron for a while and that was true. For my 12.5 x 11 image, it took 30 minutes to transfer. The paper has to be VERY hot before it will peel off. For a large image like mine, I found it was easier to iron the entire image for a while until it was mostly transferred and then iron as I peeled, so that the paper was extremely hot wherever I peeled. If there is any resistance when you peel, do not try to force it. Just hold the iron on that section for a minute or so and it will peel right up. Your transfer is only going to be as good as the source image, so don't use a copy. Print the source image straight on to the paper. I made a copy and printed that on to the paper for my first attempt and it didn't look as good as when I printed it from the digital source.I needed this to transfer on felt and it did a great job. Any spot that didn't have ink on it transferred clear on to the felt. You can see it in bright direct light, but it wasn't a problem for me since my project won't be in direct light. Also, the felt came out stiff, which again, is perfectly acceptable for my project. I won't be washing this, so I can't speak to fading issues raised by others.Always evaluate your needs against the good and bad qualities of the product before buying, but I was ecstatic about how this came out especially considering the fact that my fabric was felt. The price was well worth the results for me.

Best transfer paper I've used so far
Best transfer paper I've used so far. I didn't have to do the "wait two minutes for it to cool" thing with this paper. The images set immediately and in some cases the paper just slid off. That's a bit of a warning as I'm used to transfers that are a bit stickier and slip around once you start the heat process. These will move if you're not careful. I do feel they are a bit pricey, but the results I experienced were great. When I've used other transfer sheets, I had to trim my image very closely to keep the excess transfer from showing, but these seem to be absorbed by the fabric so all you see is the image. The only one I had a problem with was on a linen towel. The paper didn't want to lift and when it did, it stretched the fabric. I'm going to wash it and see if it goes back to normal. Most of the time, I am using this medium on unbleached muslin. So far, so good.

Wow! This paper is amazing!
As a sculptor and mixed media artist I'm not afraid to experiment with alternative processes as I consider ways to get map imagery onto fabric but I've had a frustrating week trying different approaches.I just tried a sheet of this paper on Lutradur (a translucent non woven material), a very fine "peace" silk, and a very gauzy, slubby lightweight cotton drapery material. First of all, the colors printed true onto the TAP sheet using plain paper/standard settings, and that's no small benefit. Secondly it was snap to use. Finally, the image quality is amazing. It does change the hand of the fabric (making it smoother and stiffer) although fabric is supposed to become softer after washing.I can't wait to try this with a hand drawn image (you can use watercolors, acrylics, crayons, pencils, etc. Just get some and try it out!

LOOVE this stuff. Perfect for image transfer on fabric
This is the best stuff ever!! It prints on and stays soft and flexible unlike the iron on sheets you get at the fabric store. I used these to transfer cute quotes onto canvas bags and knit t-shirts and they look awesome! So glad I found this product. I am immediatley buying more!!update: I've added a picture. You can see that the ink isn't super solid in a few spots, it looks more vintage. It washes well and doesn't peel. I've also tried modge podge transfer medium and hated it! It's basically thick white paint that transfers the ink but in some places it will buckle and other places it peels off. The TAP paper has been perfect for my needs.My tip with using it is to keep the iron moving slowly over the whole picture don't just set it in one place. I had a couple of projects where I left the iron in one spot for a while and there is a thin line in the shape of an iron where it didn't transfer as well as the rest of it. Also, iron it for a while, until the paper starts looking more transparent.

Awesome stuff!
This is by far the best heat transfer out there! I had read a lot about it and finally bought it before last xmas. I made a lot of bracelets and bookmarks and ran out of sheets quickly... I have since purchased more, of course. THe only "problem" is that you cannot buy it in Norway but luckily you find it on line like here. :) The fact that you can iron over it and use it on so many surfaces is brilliant. I did buy the book as well.I have since used it for Art Totes for my grandchildren. Printed it out ( remember to reverse if text! ) and they painted on it to their hearts' content before I transferred to fabric. We tried using colored pencils but the ones I had at hand were too hard and scratched the surface. FW Acrylic Artists' Ink worked wonderfully!I highly recommend it and will buy more!

A bit tricky to use
It was simple printing images on this paper but transferring them to fabric was a bit harder. Be sure to follow all directions on heat settings and timing. I had trouble lifting the paper off once it adhered to the fabric and there are no second chances if you don’t get good adhesion. I was disappointed that the transfer medium that does not completely disappear.

Worked Great!
This transfer paper was easy to use. The image came out clear with good color. I put the image on cloth napkins and have washed them twice and the picture is just like the day I put it on. I am happy with this purchase and would recommend it.

Toll auf Stoff
Zum Glück gibt es hier eine sehr Ausführliche Rezension wie es Funktioniert hier auf Amazon, genau durchlesen lohnt.Jedoch kann es zwei Fragen geben.Zum einen was ist die weiße Seite? Kurz das ist hier beim Papier die Seite wo man die Beschichtung leicht abkrazen kann. Auf diese Seite wird mit einem Titenstrahldrucker gedruckt. Ich habe auch hier nur Gedruckt und kann sagen der Drucker funktioniert hier sehr gut.Dann gehts ans Aufbügel. Ich habe mit meinem Dampfstrahlbügeleisen gearbeitet. Einfach die Dampffunktion abschlalten und dann mit der nicht Dampffläche auf größte Hitze gut bügeln. Ich habe am Anfang ein dünnes Tuch zwischen Papier und Bügeleisen gelegt. Man merkt wenn das Papier funktioniert wenn die Rückseite leicht durchsichtig wird und man erkennt die Linien. Dann löst sich irgendwann das Papier von ganz allein.Ich habe es auf Wollstoffen und Baumwollstoffen probiert und nehme die Vorlagen als Stickvorlagen. Ich bin sehr zufrieden.Fazit ein teures Papier aber wer einmal gute Vorlagen haben will ist hier gerade richtig. Also zwei Daumen hoch!
