The wording is set, just as it looks in the photos.
The width sets the size. Then matte, neon, glitter or metallic, in the colour you like.

How I make your transfer
Size guide
How big will it be?
The size you choose is the width of the whole design. The height follows the artwork. Tap a width to see it on a baby, child and adult top.
Drawn to scale. The chest widths are typical for each age, measured flat from armpit to armpit. Measure your own top to be sure.
The look
Matte, neon, glitter or metallic?
Matte is the everyday favourite and copes with the smallest letters. Neon shouts, glitter sparkles, metallic catches the light.
Colours for each finish are shown in the options on every design. Ready-made designs in glitter start at 15cm wide.
At home
On in about two minutes
Your iron and a sheet of baking paper are all it takes.
Cotton or linen setting, steam off. Work on a hard, flat surface like a worktop, not an ironing board.
Iron the spot for 10-15 seconds to smooth out any creases.
Clear plastic side up, exactly where you want it.
Lay the baking paper over the top.
Press down firmly for 15-20 seconds. Don't slide the iron, and don't overdo the heat.
Wait 5-10 seconds, then peel the plastic away slowly from one corner.
One last press: put the baking paper back and press for 5 seconds. It gives a smoother finish that lasts longer.
Got a heat press? Here are the settings
| Finish | Temperature | Time | Peel |
|---|---|---|---|
| Classic Matte and Neon | 140-150°C | 8-10 seconds | Hot or cold |
| Glitter | 150-160°C | 12-15 seconds | Warm or cold |
| Metallic | 140-150°C | 7-10 seconds | Cold |
Firm, even pressure. If the vinyl starts to melt, drop to 140°C and shorten the time.
Before you buy
Will it work on my top?
A crossed-out iron on the label, or sportswear with a coated or very stretchy finish, means the transfer won't stay on. This is what that looks like:
Fabrics it loves, and fabrics to skip
Also not for wool, nylon, lace or leather.
In every order
A little heart to try first
- Look at the care label: an iron symbol is fine, a crossed-out iron is not.
- Iron the small test heart onto a hidden spot, like the inside of a hem.
- Happy with it? Put the real transfer on.
If it goes on a fabric to skip, or the steps aren't followed, that isn't a fault in the transfer. If the transfer itself is faulty, I'll put it right. This doesn't affect your legal rights. Returns and refunds

Questions
Good to know before you order
Which size should I choose?
The size is the width of the design. Measure the space on the garment, for example across the chest, and pick a width that fits with a little room each side.
Will it peel off in the wash?
Not if it's pressed firmly and washed with care: wait 24 hours before the first wash, wash inside out at 30° or less, and let it air dry.
Do I need a heat press?
No. A household iron does the job. If you have a press, the settings for each finish are in the materials guide.
It didn't stick, or the edges lifted in the wash. What now?
It doesn't happen often, and a second press usually fixes it. If it didn't stick, cover it with baking paper and press firmly for 15-20 seconds on a hard surface. If the edges lifted after washing, cover it and press for 5 seconds. Still not holding? Send me a photo of the transfer and the care label, and if the transfer is at fault, I'll send you a new one or refund you, whichever you prefer.
What if it's wrong or doesn't bond?
Email info@denmary.co.uk with your order number and a photo. If the transfer is at fault, I'll replace it or refund you, and you won't pay to send anything back.
Why do transfers sometimes come off?
When it happens, it's usually because the iron wasn't pressed down hard enough, the top was washed too soon, or the fabric is coated or very stretchy. Checking the label and following the six steps avoids nearly all of it.
Can I return a ready-made design?
If there was nothing to type, it isn't personalised, so you can change your mind up to 14 days after it arrives. Email me and I'll send the return address, then post it back within 14 days of telling me. Return postage is yours to pay. I'll refund the price and standard delivery within 14 days of the transfer reaching me, or of you sending me proof of postage if that's sooner. Designs where you added a name or a year are made just for you, so they can't come back for a change of mind. Either way, if it's faulty or I got it wrong, I'll put it right.
