Step 3: Remove excess parts with scissors
You need to use scissors to cut off the parts other than the design on the transfer paper.Because the uncut part will transfer the excess residue to the garment, and cutting off the edges will help position it during the transfer process.
Step 4: Transfer your design onto your T shirt
First, set up your iron stand or clear out a table. If you are not using an ironing board, you must put a insulation pad on the table to protect our table from being burned.
Then put your T shirt flat on the shelf, and firstly flatten the clothes with an iron. After that,put your printed transfer paper design face down on the T shirt we need to transfer. It must be noted here that you have to align the position you need to place.Otherwise,once the transfer is completed, there is no way to start again. After placing the transfer paper, you can add a piece of heat insulation paper on it.
Now it’s ironing. You need to set the iron to suit the cotton and linen material mode, then iron for 30 seconds at each position, and then turn to the next position. In this process, you must press the iron with medium pressure to ensure that the iron on transfer paper is combined with the fabric of the T shirt.At the same time,you must pay special attention to the position of the corners, they are particularly prone to warping due to insufficient ironing time.
Step5:
Once the transfer is completed, firstly,you should remove the heat insulation paper.Then remove the transfer paper after the T-shirt cools down.After tearing off the iron on transfer paper, stretch the T-shirt slightly,which makes the transfer effect softer. Then cover with heat insulation paper again and iron each part for 5 seconds to increase the firmness of the coating.

In this process, you must press the iron with medium pressure to ensure that the iron on transfer paper is combined with the fabric of the T shirt.At the same time,you must pay special attention to the position of the corners, they are particularly prone to warping due to insufficient ironing time.
