I use a Teflon sheet from the poundshop branded as a cooking liner. I set the iron to a click below cotton, but expect irons will vary. Htv comes in lots of finishes, basic smooth matte will likely be hot peel - ie you can peel back the plastic top sheet immediately. Glitter, chrome and other fancier htv finishes are normally cold peel - so allow to cool first before peeling back. Hope this helps, any other questions and we will be happy to help :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08258194836346481429noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2535872754039056049.post-4617743009279114442016-06-12T10:28:14.047+01:002016-06-12T10:28:14.047+01:00The HTV has a plastic backing which is what you ir...The HTV has a plastic backing which is what you iron. I used a medium heat and held the iron on for 10 second bursts. It was a bit of a trial and error process by continuing to iron until the HTV came away from the plastic and adhered to the t-shirt. As I said I am a first timer at this so one of the other DT members, who has more experience may want to jump in and give you more information. I did discover that you need to make sure that the iron does not touch the HTV as it will shrivel it. <br /><br />Karen Mosshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12806084055114012916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2535872754039056049.post-24722544503470811022016-06-12T08:22:16.625+01:002016-06-12T08:22:16.625+01:00Thank you for this tutorial - I too have yet to tr...Thank you for this tutorial - I too have yet to try HTV - A very kind friend sent me some samples so I really should have a go! Can you tell me a bit more about the actual ironing please- heat setting for example and how long to leave the iron on the HTV. Also do you need to put a cloth or something over the HTV?
