The important thing to remember about sublimation printing is that whatever you print it onto has to be at least 65% polyester content. For your images, you can create lovely paintings if you\u2019re good at art or you can do what I did which was to look on Etsy for some artist pages. There was a lovely guy called Nelson Ruger and he\u2019s got a site called Nelson Makes Art. Nelson does these beautiful, Tiki, Hawaiian-looking paintings and sells the prints on site. I asked him if I could buy his image to use on the heat transfer.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22650\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image007.png\" alt=\"Hawaiian-looking paintings \" width=\"831\" height=\"451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image007.png 831w, https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image007-300x163.png 300w, https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image007-400x217.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 831px) 100vw, 831px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>The image is much more vibrant than you can see here because when you get it printed onto the <strong>heat transfer paper<\/strong> it looks muted but once you get it printed onto the fabric it will come up really vibrant.

Look at when you print onto 100% polyester; it comes out really vibrant!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22651\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image009.png\" alt=\"vest top \" width=\"831\" height=\"454\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image009.png 831w, https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image009-300x164.png 300w, https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image009-400x219.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 831px) 100vw, 831px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>This is a vest top I\u2019m going to use and this is the inside lining of a trench raincoat and I think would be fantastic with all the quilting.

I\u2019m not going to get too technical with this as most of you probably don\u2019t have a heat press at home and you\u2019ll be using an iron. Shaz pointed out at that because the heat press is only so big and it\u2019s difficult for me to shift the design along, she suggested I created distressed, deliberate pleating. So I\u2019m trying to centralise my vintage scarf design. I\u2019ve got the transfer paper face down, Teflon on top. Shaz says I pull it across \u2013 which is really scary because it all feels really hot! Then I pull out the pin, pull it down all the way and it\u2019s on a timer. So, pull the pin out, lift it up\u2026 Oh my goodness! I can see it already!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22653\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image013.png\" alt=\"colours are just so vibrant\" width=\"829\" height=\"447\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image013.png 829w, https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image013-300x162.png 300w, https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image013-400x216.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 829px) 100vw, 829px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s amazing!

That\u2019s amazing! So that is pretty good. Because this is more about you being able to do it than doing it on a heat press, for the rest of our experiments we\u2019re going to go back to the studio and use a really hot iron.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22657\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image021.png\" alt=\"big table\" width=\"829\" height=\"450\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image021.png 829w, https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image021-300x163.png 300w, https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image021-400x217.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 829px) 100vw, 829px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I\u2019m lucky enough to have this really big table and I\u2019m not really bothered if it gets damaged. If you\u2019ve got a really big precious table, be careful. Even though I\u2019m not bothered about my table I\u2019m going to attempt to protect it a little bit. I\u2019m using this slightly quilted fabric and covering it with pieces of newsprint.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22658\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image023.png\" alt=\"100% polyester coat\" width=\"832\" height=\"452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image023.png 832w, https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image023-300x163.png 300w, https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image023-400x217.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 832px) 100vw, 832px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>For the first project that I\u2019m going to do using an iron, I\u2019m going to use the sleeveless quilted lining from a coat because it says it\u2019s 100% polyester. So that means the image should be really strong. Also, I\u2019m going to use Nelson Ruger\u2019s beautiful Tiki painting. It\u2019s very important that you mask off the areas where you don\u2019t want the print to go. It\u2019s worth buying a lot of newsprint when you get it because you do seem to use it a lot. You can actually use it for printing; if you accidently print onto the newsprint just use it again and put it face down and you can print with it.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22659\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image025.png\" alt=\"iron sublimation\" width=\"831\" height=\"453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image025.png 831w, https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image025-300x164.png 300w, https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image025-400x218.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 831px) 100vw, 831px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Put the huge picture on top. My iron is on maximum, absolute maximum hot setting, really, really hot. No steam at all and I\u2019m going to keep moving it around. I imagine the image isn\u2019t going to be as crisp as when I move it through the heat press as there\u2019s going to be a little bit of movement. So I can completely have this moment with you. I haven\u2019t looked underneath yet but what I would say is, what I\u2019ve learned from doing it, is work on one area first thoroughly, holding the iron quite a lot but keeping it moving, then start working your way up. Don\u2019t go back to that area because it might shift the image a little bit. But I\u2019ve got no idea, honestly, no idea what this looks like, it might just be rubbish\u2026 God almighty! That is amazing!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22660\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image027.png\" alt=\"Who needs a heat press\" width=\"830\" height=\"452\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image027.png 830w, https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image027-300x163.png 300w, https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image027-400x218.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Look! Who needs a heat press? I think doing it with an iron \u2013 particularly if you haven\u2019t got a big enough heat press \u2013 you can have a much bigger area and have so much more control\u2026 I don\u2019t need to say anything do I? That is just amazing.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22661\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image029.png\" alt=\"ready print\" width=\"831\" height=\"451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image029.png 831w, https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image029-300x163.png 300w, https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image029-400x217.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 831px) 100vw, 831px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Alright, let\u2019s do that reveal thing again. Now look at that. My one regret is that I didn\u2019t get Nelson\u2019s signature, so I think, if I can, I\u2019m just going to position his signature right there and see if I can just quickly iron it on\u2026 Woah! Yay!<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22662\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image031.png\" alt=\"design ready printed\" width=\"830\" height=\"451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image031.png 830w, https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image031-300x163.png 300w, https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image031-400x217.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>I want to tell you something. First of all, wow. But also, say you have quite a plain area \u2013 as I had quite a plain area here \u2013 I was able to position the transfer where the little house was, position it here and just iron that little bit and make it part of the picture. Look, I\u2019ve done another bit of a red bush and a palm tree. I think I\u2019m just going to add something up around this area, some green or something. Obviously, I\u2019m not to be wearing this with shorts but does it look like a serious bit of designer kit and it just started it\u2019s life as quilted lining from a man\u2019s trench coat.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22663\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image033.png\" alt=\"net curtain fabric\" width=\"830\" height=\"451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image033.png 830w, https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image033-300x163.png 300w, https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image033-400x217.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 830px) 100vw, 830px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Okay, I\u2019m just going to do a few experiments now. I\u2019ve got some kind of polyester crate and some regular net curtain fabric. I\u2019ve got a plain coloured print \u2013 because you can just get blocks of colour printed \u2013 I\u2019m going to lay that on top of my lace and then let\u2019s see what happens when I iron the plain colour on to the lace that has the polyester underneath. I\u2019m going to do loads and loads of heat for this\u2026<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22664\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image035.png\" alt=\"curtain printed\" width=\"831\" height=\"453\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image035.png 831w, https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image035-300x164.png 300w, https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image035-400x218.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 831px) 100vw, 831px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Wow, look at that! Gosh! I think maybe if I\u2019d have had a spongier blanket underneath, it would have stood more of a chance of going through. It\u2019s one way to die and print your lace \u2013 which is fantastic \u2013 but then look, we\u2019ve printed the lace, and then we\u2019ve got an impression of it on the fabric as well. I really quite like it. On the paper too. We\u2019ve got an impression of the lace on the fabric. Hmmm\u2026 My imagination is going wild, is yours?<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-22665\" src=\"\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image037.png\" alt=\"impression of the lace on the fabric\" width=\"829\" height=\"451\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image037.png 829w, https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image037-300x163.png 300w, https:\/\/www.bagsoflove.co.uk\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/image037-400x218.png 400w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 829px) 100vw, 829px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Now that would make such a lovely little puff sleeve.
