I tried three different iron on patches for children's t-shirts: Avery 8938 for light fabrics Avery 3384 printable fabric sheets and Avery 3302 for light stretchable fabrics. We created eight t-shirts. Avery 8938 won hands down between the three. The printable fabric sheet was very obvious on the t-shirts and quite stiff. The light stretchable fabric sheet backing was...

WASTE OF MONEY
After ironing on, the backing does NOT PEEL OFF. Absolutely a waste of time and money, and your product gets ruined to add insult to injury. I finally figured out to get the back off, I have to wash my t-shirts. But if I was selling them, that won't work because the t-shirt is no longer NEW after being washed.

BACKING DOES NOT COME OFF
Wasted so much time and energy for the back to NOT come off. I printed it and used my cricut to cut it out, then tried cutting it out on my own. I have tried absolutely everything and it will not separate from the backing. Extremely disappointment I wasted money on ink to print my image on this terrible paper I also wasted money on.

No good
These are disappointing to say the least. I used 3 packs of these to print out photos and ironed as directed. Bit of a challenge to peel off paper. I made it works. I ironed on to white cotton fabric. I then used them in a memory quilt I was making. Very dissatisfied that the film that is ironed on toe fabric, started cracking and peeling before I was finished making th...

Looked pretty good for about 3 hours.
Ironed them on following the tutorial on YouTube. Handed them out for the bachelor party and about 3 hours in design became foggy and didn’t last through the guest wash.

Great product - however one improvement would make it an Awesome product
The transfer works great! I would like to suggest to the product developer that you put a Graph grid on the back to help placement on the fabric. I have used approximately 50 transfers while making an anniversary quilt. It is difficult to center the picture on my quilt square and it would be easier if they were measurements on the back.

Rips apart very easily.
Half way through and it begins to rip. Ironed up and down and side to side for 3 minutes, let cool for five. Slowly peeled off and halfway through it began to rip. Brand new shirt ruined along with the iron on.

Smears ink and print cracks
My friend bought this for our family vacation t shirts. She made over 15 shirts and all of them ruined in one day of wearing. When I helped her make them the backing would not pull off the correct way leaving the print on the backing. The ink literally smears on EVERYTHING and EVERYWHERE. Everybody was walking around marked up on their face and arms from the ink. This i...

Extremely difficult to remove the backing
I could not get this to work properly. I followed all instructions and after cooling the backing hardly came off of the transfer. It was all stuck to the shirt and I had to toss it. I found a different product that worked super well backing came off easily and without any issue.

I have never had problems with Avery t-shirt transfers before, but this one was awful. I read all the directions - paper and online - followed them carefully, timed the transfer and the cool down time. I had REAL trouble getting the transfer off.
