Why we picked it
New to heat transfer vinyl? This STAHLS' primer explains what HTV (also called iron-on) is: a single-color vinyl on a carrier, sold in rolls or sheets, used to add designs, logos and graphics to garments. It then shows several of the company's own vinyl types being applied with a heat press and what each is good for. A sensible starting point for embroidery shops thinking of adding names, numbers or simple vinyl logos.
