Don't let some of the other reviewers scare you away from this product. This product was very easy for me to use. I followed ALL of the directions and did not have any of the problems that other people were having. My son LOVES the shirts that I made him and wants me to make more!! Thanks Avery for making such a great product.
I used this to make a shirt for my husband for fathers day, yellow on a black shirt. The color looks great, and have had no problem with fading or the transfer coming loose. It was easy to apply as well.
This is a great product! Easy to use, however, it is hard to peal the backing off if you cut a shape out of the sheet. Our logo is round so if you cut the circle out of the sheet, there are no edges to peal from. Colors come out crisp and clear! Turn T-Shirts inside out for washing in cool water and fluff, low temp tumble dry and the transfer will last for quite awhile!
Had the same issue as other; unable to peel the back off! Tried using a razor blade to separate the sheets, ended up ruining the product! What a waste of money!
I used these transfers for a light green design on a black background. The transfers showcased the color brilliantly and ironed on like a dream. I have washed my t-shirt in cold water and line dried it a few times and it still looks great!
Avery Dark Fabric Tranfer 3279. This product prints really well on Ink jet. The problem comes when trying to peel off the back paper in order to iron it on the shirt. None of the five that came in the box peeled correctly. In the end I lost all five and one shirt. Im very disapointed with this product. Dont buy it. Its not worth the money and the time spent trying to peel it off..
I have used this product as well as the Light transfers and think they are great. The negative reviews I read could be fixed if people would use their heads. Color bleed is a function of the dyes used with the shirt, not the transfers. Reds and Blues are the big offenders. Wash the shirt FIRST. Fluff dry and press, then apply the transfer. NOTE: the better the shirt, the better the dye; cheap doesn't get it. To remove the transfer easily, leave a slight margin at the edge of the image. If you cut the image out of the transfer, leave a tab at the narrow part or corner of the image. When applying the transfer, place a piece of paper or scrap fabric between this tab or margin and the shirt. Apply the transfer normally. Use the piece of fabric or paper as a place to start peeling. The transfer backing should be firmly attached to the paper or scrap. If your shirt or transfer burns, take the image and shirts to a t-shirt shop and have them do it; you don't get it and you will only ruin more shirts. You are applying too much HEAT for TOO LONG !!! I did nearly 100 school logo transfers for a reunion and didn't loose one. USE YOUR HEAD
Good quality transfers, got the job done right! Kind of pricey but yet again it is better quality than most. Only problem was the backing, if you don't have finger nails you might have a hard time getting the backing off of the transfers. These could really use slits in the backing to help start the peeling off process. But over all great transfer.
