Question fading/feathered soft edges possible?

Hi there,
I think this is probably a straightforward yes or no question! Is it possible to print images with fading, or feathered, edges on light colors with a heat transfer? I think for the baby items I have in mind, a hard edge would look really bad. Thanks in advance!

should be possible. Why not test a shirt or two so you know for sure and what exactly to expect.

With digital heat transfers, you could on light colored garments. Ironall would be best for that. There would be a slight film left afterwards, but would washout. Opaque - no. Also screen or plastisol transfers would work as well.

Imageclip on light colored works well also, no film left after pressing.
