Has anyone had luck with Avery Iron-on Transfers?
Just wondering if I can get away with using the Avery transfers, or if I really should order the Amy Mickey ones. I know everyone says hers are the best, but for just wearing the shirts one or two times at the parks, will the cheaper ones hold up ok?
I would love any feedback especially from anyone who has tried both brands or other brands. Thanks!

Avery didn't hold up past my trip but if you're looking for something just for vacation they should work okay. Amy's have held up for months now. It's worth it for me since my kids like wearing the shirts long after the trip. Her transfers are DEFINITELY worth it in my opinion!

I highly recommend Amys transfers. I have washed mine many times and it looks great. I ran out and had to get some Avery and the ink washed off after a few washes. I had to redo them once I received more from Amy. Her shipping is quick. I have purchased 70 and they have all turned out great.

I also love Amy's transfers. I've used the Avery transfers and like the PP posters have said, they don't hold up. They look really well until you wash them. Mine tended to crack or peel off the shirt. We only got one good wear out of them. We are still wearing the shirts from June that we used Amy's transfers on. They're the best!!

I just ordered from Amy- haven't made my shirts yet. BUT I can't recommend the Avery at all. Boy, they were hard to get the paper to peel off. It ended up getting all bunched up on the edges and must have took me 10 minutes to get each one open. Some were either ruined in the process or the wrinkle shows on the transfer.
