Most fabrics are made with a fabric softener to make the sewing process kinder on sewers hands. This washes off with the first washing. If the fabric softener is still on the onsie the heat transfer may not stick as well. I have only had one onsie that the design peeled up. It was my first one. I started to heat it just a little longer. I have even turned it inside out and pressed on the back side of the heat transfer for a few seconds. I later sewed a little line around the shell on this onsie for design purposes. I like to mix media sometimes...so heat transfer and sewing. I think that onsies are more likely to have the heat transfer peel up because the onsie is made out of a rib fabric so it stretches more. Surprisingly the heat transfer design that has stayed fixed in place the best was a bike design. I think that the thinner lines on the bike actually help it stretch more with the rib. I hope this makes sense. If you have any more questions let me know! :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17927589110460595490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5225264720414277471.post-42901682639598206062014-04-23T14:45:57.074-07:002014-04-23T14:45:57.074-07:00Did you stitch over the turtle?
