crafty question

anyone use those inkjet iron on transfers? i've got some xmas presents to start on and wondered if they were any good. and, if you have used them, do they work on any color fabric?

i'll definitely do a test. but i haven't purchased the stuff yet since i wanted to get an idea if it was worth it. (i've got silk screening capabilities, but that takes longer & was looking for a quick way to get stuff done.)

checking around, there seems to be an avery version which works well on dark fabrics. if i can get that i'll let you know how it goes.

What I had used before was from Avery. It did work well, but again it was a light shirt.

And with what Brian said - I don't imagine the thing lasted through too many washes. Silkscreening would be more work, but I'd imagine it would last for much longer.

Good luck! It sounds like a neat project. :)
