How do I apply Heat Transfer Vinyl?

Preheat your iron to the hottest setting without steam and have a pillowcase, parchment paper, handkerchief or something similar nearby.
Lay your shirt or other item out flat on your ironing board.
Position your design exactly as you want it to look.
Be sure the clear plastic backing is up and the vinyl is touching the shirt or whatever you're transferring the design to.
If you have text, it should be reading correctly and not a mirror image.
Take your extra piece of material - (ie. handkerchief) and lay it down on top of the vinyl/backing.
Now press your iron down on top with a lot of pressure for about 45-60 seconds.
Remove the iron and the extra fabric and slowly peel up a small area of the clear backing. If the vinyl does not stay on the shirt, lay it all back down and add more heat and pressure from the iron.
If the heat transfer vinyl does stick, and it should, slowly peel away the backing.

How do I apply Permanent Adhesive Vinyl?

Clean your surface - make sure the surface that you are planning on applying the vinyl to is clean and dry.
Peel transfer tape (the red & white layer over your vinyl) slowly off the backing. Your vinyl WILL stick to the transfer tape.
Position the transfer tape with your image over the surface you are applying it to. Make sure it is aligned properly before lowering it onto your surface.
Use a flat edge (credit card, gift card, Popsicle stick, etc.) to rub over the transfer tape to smooth out the vinyl and adhere firmly.
Slowly peel off transfer tape - if vinyl is not sticking, put transfer tape back down and repeat step above.
