Beware of Iron on transfers

[Saloli27]

I wanted to let people know to be careful when buying iron transfers. I have used avery and next style. After ironing on and them sitting for a couple of days I washed them on cold cycle and short wash. Then I examined them and the shirts that I used next styled iron ons started to chip and split after washing. I threw it in dryer inside out hoping better after wash. But we will see. I have 2 wks til our trip so I have time to make more. I just wanted to let people to be careful on what they buy. I love avery brand and their dark transfer paper. Just thought people could use this advice. Ok wanted to let ppl know what happened I took them out of the dryer I had 4 shirts that I used the Next Style product by Horizon Inc. Well they were all cracked and peeling off so I will never use their products again. Good thing I have two weeks til our trip I can try to remove the iron on transfer and replace them with a different brand of iron on. Well I hope this was helpful info.

they may need more pressure/heat if they are cracking -- the ink should impregnate the fabric -- not sit on top of it..

But i agree-- We always use Avery -- and I have shirts from 2008 that are still rocking today!

I also like and use Avery Dark transfers.
Hope things work out with your shirts.

Well I emailed Horizon which is the company that owns the label Next Style and told them what happened to my shirts and how disappointed I am with their product. So today I went to walmart and purchased some more Avery dark fabric transfers and more shirts. I plan on working on them this evening.

I agree. My boys wore their last batch of shirts with AmyMickey's transfers for close to two years and they never cracked or peeled.

I would defintely use the dark transfer on everything it looks so much better. And they seem to last longer too.

The transfers I sell are blank. Then you can print your desired design to them using an inkjet printer.

The "no Disney design" line on my website refers to my actual designing/designs.

Correct, she doesn't do disney designs - she sells the blank transfer paper.
