Iron-on transfers are a great way to add custom designs, logos, or text to fabric. With the Silhouette Cameo, you can easily create your own iron-on transfers with just a few simple steps.
First, you need to gather your supplies. You will need an image or design file, iron-on transfer paper, a Silhouette cutting machine, and an iron.
Once you have all the necessary supplies, it’s time to get started. Begin by opening up your image or design file in the Silhouette software. Make sure that your image is sized correctly for the type of transfer paper you are using and be sure to mirror the image before cutting.
Next, load your transfer paper into your Silhouette machine. Make sure that the shiny side is facing up and that it is properly lined up as shown on the screen. Then select “Send” from the top menu bar and watch as your machine cuts out your design.
Once your design has been cut out, remove it from the cutting mat and place it on top of the fabric where you would like it to be applied. Cover with a thin cloth or parchment paper and press with an iron for about 15 seconds at medium heat without steam.
Finally, carefully peel off the backing of the transfer paper to reveal your newly applied design! Your fabric is now ready to wear or use however you like!
