Step by Step Instructions
Step 1
– Select the letter size and cut them out with paper scissors then trace each letter flipped over so the letters are upside down, onto the smooth side of the iron on adhesive.
– Place the letters with the rough side of the iron on adhesive facing the wrong side of the fabric. Be sure to have the print direction going the right way. Press without steam at the highest heat setting or according to your iron on adhesive.
– Once cooled, cut out the letters.
– Pull the backing off and test how the position of the letters look on your t-shirt.
– Place a piece of scrap fabric (cotton) carefully onto the letters without shifting them. Without steam, press the area in sections for about 15-20 seconds or as instructed by the iron on adhesive. Do not move the iron.
– Once cooled, sew around each letter with a straight stitch, zigzag stitch or your preferred stitch!
