Garbage

I tried twice to use this product and both times it came out terrible. The white backing washes out the images, it looks like you're looking at the image through a piece of paper. Will be returning for refund.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

We are so sorry that the Dark T-Shirt Transfers didn't work well for you. You might have a better experience using our Light T-Shirt Transfers since it looks like you are trying to iron onto a white fabric. Please reach to our Consumer Care Center at Avery.com/contact and our team can make this right.

Dark Fabric Transfer Paper
on August 23, 2018
Posted by: LittleBearsHomemade
from Niles Michigan
Wood surface is best as instructions state if you use an ironing board put a piece of wood inside a pillowcase. Make sure you cut the corners of your transfer (round them). Always let shirt hang for 24 hours after putting the transfer on before laundering. Turn shirt inside out when laundering, always use liquid soap with cold water on delicate cycle! NEVER USE BLEACH! And hang the item to dry! Avery transfers are a better quality then other items out there but it is also VERY expensive!!!!!

Good transfers!

I enjoy coaching my sons' flag football teams. And these transfer make for really cheap coach's shirts. For $25, I can make 5 shirts with 1 pkg of transfers. I can even do them without the wife's help (actually she'd just screw it up). The Jaguars shirt was used the most and it took a beating... so 4 out 5 stars!

The Transfer Burned
on September 20, 2017
Posted by: Christy
from Phoenix, Arizona
I followed the directions exactly as stated, I even used a timer to make sure. When done the transfer had brown burn marks all over it. Additionally, I did not know the background was going to be white... not clear. If I ad known I would have cut it out more precisely and not used rounded edges as suggested, nor would I have used white writing that didn't show up.
Cons: Transfer burned
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Works; looks great on my dark purple shirts
on July 27, 2017
Posted by: Travis
from Kansas
It printed out well. Since my design was a rectangle with rounded corners, I wanted to use our guillotine paper chopper to ensure straight cuts, and so I didn't leave a grab tab as the instructions said. Instead, I cut 3 of the 4 rounded corners, then used my thumbnail to separate the backing at the 4th uncut corner. This worked on all but the 3rd one. I actually separate the paper backing itself, so when I attempted to peel it, I left some of the paper on the design. I was able to separate it at a rounded corner, which was actually easier than the square corner. Using MS Publisher, I added straight lines on the outside of the design to show where to cut on our chopper. I made the lines as close to the purple of the shirts I could, to help ensure I didn't leave any white around my design. Overall, these weren't difficult to use. Slight issue with the backing on 1/5. Also, my purple guideline didn't match well on the first shirt, and our chopper needs sharpened/smooth out. I used extra time and pressure with the iron around the edges. As of this review, I have yet to wash them, so I don't know about longevity. I don't expect them to last years like a commercial shirt, but I was able to make custom shirts for about $6.16 each. I can this once a year, if I need to.
Pros: Easy to use
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Product
on July 3, 2017
Posted by: River Rick
from Washinton Crossing PA
I read the bad reviews and they enhanced my diligent adherence to directions. I did exactly as Avery said and the transfer worked like a charm. The back came off easy for me. I left a tab and ripped a little bit and the back peeled off easily. Then I cut the tab off. Simple
Pros: Worked Perfectly. I followed the Directions.
I would recommend this to a friend!

The lousy carpenter blames his tools.

To all the people who can't peel the backing paper: the directions clearly state that you should leave a "grab tab" when cutting out your design. This way, you can work and wrinkle the product a little bit, to separate the layers without ruining your design, after which the "grab tab" can be cut off. Then we have the person who peeled off the paper, only to find that there was a white layer blocking the design. Did this person iron the transfer on, design down, and THEN try to remove the backing paper? You remove the paper first, and the white layer prevents the dark t-shirt color from obscuring the design. It reminds me of a saying my father had: The lousy carpenter blames his tools. There is nothing wrong with this product. It works great if you are able to read and follow directions.
