Step 2

Place the image face down on the fabric. **Note that images will appear reversed, so if you have text or something that needs to be oriented in a certain manner, make sure this is reversed during the image printing process. Using a piece of scrap cloth, wet it with acetone (found in pharmacies, used in really cheap nail polish remover - but not in the better nail polish removers, so make sure your nail polish remover is not non-acetone!). Rub the back of the image for a few seconds, pressing gently. Try not to move the image. (You can pin it in place, if you want.) Lift the paper and - voila! Enjoy! **Always test an image on a scrap piece of fabric before heading to work on your finished garment!
