Do I need to trim my transfer?

Will you ship to overseas buyers/shoppers?
We generally only ship to North America (United States, Canada, Mexico) because the overseas shipping charges are cost-prohibitive for our customers; however exceptions may be made for larger volume orders or by special request. Please contact our customer service department at info@cmwi.com.

Can I iron the garment after making the heat transfer?
Yes. However, do not iron directly over the transferred area without placing a pillowcase or other protective covering over the area with the heat transfer. Do not use high heat. Always review our instruction sheets for detailed instructions; they are available for download at: http://www.cmwi.com
