A Tip for Removing Carrier Sheets
Layering multiple colors or materials to create a single design is not difficult using heat-applied graphics materials.
However, doing so requires specific techniques to ensure the best outcome. It’s important to remember that when you are peeling off the carrier sheet after an application, do it carefully and slowly to ensure you don’t stretch the garment any more than necessary. If the sheet is grabbed and ripped off, and the material stretches too much, it can cause misalignment when applying the second color or a different material.
Be especially careful with super stretchy performancewear fabrics.
