Customer Reviews

great designs. limited fabric uses.
these iron on designs are wonderful, whimsical, and will inspire you with a million uses. the only downside is that they are tough to use on many fabrics. they only work with lightweight smooth fabrics and only on white or cream backgrounds.

Meh.
While I really liked many of the designs I saw featured on whatever blog recommended this (sorry, I don't remember who it was), most of the iron-ons were not in line with my tastes. If you're more familiar with Sukie artwork and you already know you like it, then let me just offer the caveat that the pictures don't transfer very well. I've tried two--one on white cloth, one on a light brown. The white transfer was visible, but didn't transfer cleanly and the light brown was invisible. I'm sure the artists are lovely people, but I was disappointed in the product.

Disappointed
I loved the designs. The execution was difficult and the results were bad. Here's what I did if it helps:

I put the transfers on two kids white cotton t-shirts. I learned from a test that the transfers did bleed through, so put an old pillowcase in the shirt. This solved that problem.

My kids cut out a ton of the smaller transfers, including letters, and this was really difficult. You can only iron on one at a time, and each one takes a few minutes & pushing down. So the ironing part literally took two hours, and when the iron goes over an already-transferred design, that one fades and bleeds. So the initial results weren't perfect, but the kids were pretty happy with their cool t-shirts.

But kids are kids, and the t-shirts got all kinds of food on them. The worst part came when I put them through the wash with some Oxi-Clean. The designs completely came off. What a disappointment after all the work and anticipation!! I haven't told them yet, but I'm not looking forward to it.

With kids, delicate washing in cold water doesn't cut it, so I would not recommend this product for anything that may get stains on it. Maybe some of the other recommended uses (canvas bags, clothing for extremely neat people) might be more appropriate.
