Looking for Answers about AVERY Dark T-Shirt Transfers 3279?

I accidentally bought the Dark Fabric transfer sheets but I am using them on White t-shirts, would that be a problem?

I tried this three times this morning, twice on one shirt, once on a second shirt. I peel off the paper backing, place the transfer image face down on the shirt. I lay the tissue paper down over the transfer, then I iron using the cotton setting, no steam, for the suggested amount of time. After letting the item cool for the recommended time, I peel off the tissue paper and nothing comes off with it. So what is left behind is the white rectangle of the transfer (well adhered to the shirt) covering up the image I wanted to have.

What am I doing wrong?

(Not sure if it's relevant, but I've had this package of transfers for at least a year.)

We accidently used a light fabic transfer on a sweatshirt, and it came out very dark. Can we apply a dark fabric transfer over this one? Am more concerned if it will stick rather than lining it up.

There are many reviews with problems with the backing. I would like to know I can overcome this issue before I purchase these.

In 2005 I used the light transfer and the dark transfer paper and had no problems (except that the light transfer started cracking and peeling after one wash). So I am not a novice at this.

I used the dark transfer in my inkjet printer and they printed BEAUTIFULLY!! But when i went to iron them on, the colors faded and disappeared! I referred to the instructions again and they weren't clear on how long you should press down and hold the iron. So i tried my next shirt (of 4 i wanted to make) and decided instead of pressing I would slide the iron a bit and maybe not put it on for so long. WELL!!! the ink faded, ran and smeared!! These are definitely not made the same way that the transfer sheets were made in 2005!! I come onto the website now and see that you are supposed to slide the iron for 2 minutes on a full sheet! not press down like you used to have to do!! now, i am out the money for the tee shirts, the ink for the printer and the transfer sheets and my vacation is in a few days and my 7 year old niece is going to be heartbroken!

Avery, please don't say to look at the package instructions, or just put a link which does not address this issue. How many transfers do I have to ruin before I might actually be able to peel off? Very frustrating. Is there a 'trick' to do this? I am on a timeline and need to get this done. And IF I were to be able to start peeling it off, is the back side sticky, or is it just a paper look? It did start to peel in one area, but looked like I was just ripping in the wrong area, if that makes sense. Was not a 'smooth' peel, like it wasn't separating correctly

My husband, myself and my duaghter have been trying to get the backing off the dark t shirt transfers. We have followed the directions and cannot do it. This is ridiculous . Is their another product that anyone would recommend that is not as difficult as this one.

Every time I write a word I can read it but once on the shirt they are back words can't figure it out
