No, poly is not recommended. Only porous surfaces should be used, such as 100% cotton. The product instructions insert also states this item will bond to cardboard and wood. Polyester, however, is not porous and should not be used.

This is an exceptionally smooth product, and should be ideal for your small pieces as there is no fraying. The backing also provides a slight stiffness that makes cutting and handling very easy. Just watch out where all those small pieces end up; if they get misplaced or blow about in a breeze, they can end up on something accidentally and become fused to that item should you iron it!

Yes, as long as the canvas is known to be 100% cotton AND is not treated (ie, not pre-treated with water repellant or stain repellant). Canvas is a porous fabric and if it meets these two conditions, this product works. (I tried it, just to be sure.) Some cotton canvas has more slubs than others and may affect the adhesion. If adhesion turns out to be an issue, you might want to topstitch around the edges. One last thing, try to remember to test with a plain piece of paper in your printer to make sure the fabric sheet is properly oriented (face up or face down) for proper printing. You want to print on the MATTE side of the sheet, not the shinier side.

I tried this using an agent that makes prints on fabric look like an old oil painting. It works nicely, but you must wait at least 24 hours after printing before applying anything (longer, if possible). Test first on a very small area of your surface to make sure there is no smearing and DON"T iron on top of the gloss (iron beforehand if necessary).

I think you COULD use this as fabric, but with a couple of important concerns:
1) It is not as soft and flexible as fabric, so it might add an odd area of stiffness to your project.
2) If you want to iron your finished product in the future, be very careful NOT to iron over the area where this product is, because you can still activate the glue and it will stick to something most likely undesirable. (You could just iron this product onto another piece of plain fabric, like muslin, and then use as "fabric". Having activated the glue this way, you should be able to iron over it at a later time.)

Question

What are the instructions for ironing on your picture?

asked 3 years ago

This question can be taken 3 different ways, so I will give 3 different answers.
1) If you mean: How do I use my iron to transfer the image, (and I apologize if this is not what you meant), this product is not an image transfer product and is not used in this fashion. Instead, a photocopier is used to copy an image directly onto the fabric sheet, which is inserted into the paper feed tray of your copier.
2) If you mean: How do I iron the image once it has been photocopied onto this printable fabric and used in my specific craft application, the answer provided with the product advises the following: Use a simple household iron, preheated, set to medium or high heat, NO STEAM, and press entire area for 5 seconds. Reposition the iron as needed to press the entire area. From personal experience, I would advise waiting several hours after the image has been copied before ironing, and using an up-and-down pressing motion, NOT a side-to-side motion (the image might smear if not set properly). Understand that ironing will activate the glue side (glossy side) of this product, making it stick to whatever is underneath it (such as your ironing board cover!!); therefore you might need to consider a lightweight 100% cotton backing that can stick to the backside of this product when ironed.
3) If you mean: How do I activate the glue so that I can adhere my copied image onto something else (such as another fabric, cardboard, wood, or some other bondable surface), just follow the steps in answer #2.

First off, this is not a transfer product. It is a fabric sheet that gets fed through your ink jet printer and your image is photocopied onto it. Check the Avery product description to make sure this is appropriate for what you want to do.

This was sent to me already printed. I am assembling squares for a quilt and am not sure how to handle this square as it is very stiff. Thanks for your help.

Hand wash printable fabric with a mild detergent, if desired. For best results we recommend using the packaging instructions. Here is a link to the same instructions: http://www.avery.com/avery/en_us/He....
