Review on Set of 3 Segarty 16.5x13 inch DIY Tote Bags with Zipper – Ideal for Crafting, Ironing, Embroidering – White Canvas Tote for Reusable Grocery Shopping by Brittany Lee

Revainrating 1 out of 5

The fabric burns very easily when applied with HTV.

I bought these for fun to decorate travel bags for my kids for our family Christmas holidays. My husband and I spent the whole day preparing translations. The first course looked a bit "distressed" and didn't fully root. It was something to work with, not the end of the world. We then added a few extras with the HTV gold glitter. The glitter wasn't sticking, so we gradually increased the temperature. We noticed that the bag started to burn and discolored. Lesson learned... Lower the temperature. The second transfer didn't fully stick to the bottom heat and the package still burned! So I broke the iron to try and focus the heat more on the transfer. Vain. Nevertheless, the translation does not stick to the bag. My project was completely ruined and now I have to buy 3 new bags from another company because they won't be available before we go on vacation. FYI... I did a test with Cricut Infusible Ink and they seem to stick really well so I bought a few rolls of them and we'll see.

Pros
