Can you use this with a household iron or do you need a heat press? Can this be used on light tan colored cotton? Thanks, in advance

I tried the light and dark with ironing on using a household iron. Once you cut away all the extra background leaving only a white outline of the graphic and or words, it looks good but I haven't yet washed the shirt so I can't say how it will hold up. I'm still experimenting and this was the inkjet for dark shirts. The laser jet for light material did not work well at all and made a mess of my Hp laser jet that self cleaned in the next few pages. Hope this helps.

I've never used it in a steamer, but it's made of nylon, so I wouldn't use it with heat. If you can find a cotton one, that would be safe for a steamer. I'd be worried about this one melting or leaching chemicals into whatever you're making with it.

Your material must be flat and smooth. Also make sure you have the proper setting for thr type of fabric you're ironing. Maybe turn down the steam setting too. Good luck!

Well to be honest I didn't buy it to iron onI bought it so my guys wouldn't scratch up the top of my new dryer. But I really don't think it would transfer heat by by the look of the fabric. And if it did I really don't think it would get hot enough to harm anything. Hope this helps

It's heavier than some but I find I don't need to press down on it. I just lay it on my clothes and glide it over the wrinkles. For me it works better than other irons.

I've been happy with how hot this iron gets. I also like its weight - which should help with heavier fabrics - you won't have to apply as much pressure.

I'm not sure what kind of work you're trying to do. This does use butane for heat and gets extremely hot even at it's lowest setting. I would never use this iron for board work. I use it on wiring harness connections to mechanism on pinball machines where it's too awkward to drag out my good iron. But, if you are very careful and quick, it might work for what you need to do.

No, it does not have steam. The Dritz website says the iron will shut off after 60 minutes but it does not say that on the enclosed instructions and I for one have not tested that statement. If you quilt, sew or do crafts where you might need to press short seams it is handy for keeping at your workstation at home or in class. It's not suitable for anything but small jobs. You would not want to use it for household purposes.

This product is a heat applied transfer sheet that is applied to fabric with an iron or a heat press.

did you ever try it on felt? I want to make iron on letters for a halloween costume.

Definitely not...This removes wrinkles, but of course does not press.To press shirts or slacks you'd want something like this...Steam Fast SF-680 Digital Fabric Steam PressHope this helped.

I've had the same experience. I attempted to use a steamer without much improvement. I would not use an iron because you can actually scortch the fabric. I have only the black and white muslims and Photoshop any visible wrinkles out which are very little that are visible. I'm not sure how you are using the black or white but I use it for high key and low key effects so actual background showing is limited. Hope that was helpful.

Yes, I iron with a light hand, but I love this item...I keep it in the bedroom and my grand kids keep all kind of stuff in there...when I iron I put a bath towel across the board so I don't scorch anything...I have no problem with it and I would buy again as a shower gift. Hope that helps you. Carole

I used it with a commercial heat press for evenness of pressure........better control than trying to iron on.....very good product.....less "hazing" than older products of similar kind. Did a heather gray sweatshirt and after the first washing the "shadowing" was gone

My daughter is the main one to use this iron, but I know there's a grey button on the left side of the handle that you need to press for steam. Don't tilt the iron upright and don't press the steam button too frequently. See if that helps. If not, I can get my daughter to write back.

I have only used distilled - just in case. I use this iron for tailoring so I am unwilling to take a chance of staining expensive fabrics with heavy metal stains from hard tap water K
