Question how do you keep the transfers from curling?

How do you keep the transfer from curling up when you first put it on the machine?

Default Re: This is my last stupid question (Right!)

Heat transfers are affected by the heat. If it is an opaque transfer it twill happen. Be sure to heat the object before you place transfer on it and it should lay flat as it starts to cling to object before pressing if only the heat is above then remember what you learned in school heat rises. Also the transfer is starting to shrink from the heat and thus it curls.
