Can a design be ironed on as well as iron on letters?

[debbs0723]

I know you guys can personalize your work but I also like those glittery letters found at craft stores. Would it be better to ask a designer to personalize something or can those iron on letters be ironed on top of a design as well?

Thanks,
Debbie

I can't see why you couldn't use both, just be careful to cover up the other when you iron. Parchment paper works well, you can see through it but it protects the designs. DO NOT iron the design with the iron straight, makes a big mess (yep, been there, done that, wasn't pretty)

I was planning on ironing them onto the original design. Bad idea?

I would think it would be ok, just iron on the design, then place the letters down, put parchment paper over all of it and it should be fine.

What I had done that wasn't pretty was hit a corner of my DISign with a hot iron and no parchment paper. Yep, it melted and was icky!!!
