Heat Transfer Techniques

Focusing on a relatively new way of embellishing, decorating, fusing and layering fabrics, this book is the first to take an in-depth look at heat transfer techniques. Some techniques have grown out of other traditional techniques, such as flocking, but they have all been developed through extensive experimentation. Techniques covered here include flocking, foiling, photo-transfer, fusing and sublimation printing. Applications include fabric for fashion garments, soft furnishings and fabric wallpaper, swimwear, kites, and photo-transfer on felt textile art.

 

The book is suitable for a variety of skill levels, and includes affordable domestic options as well as more ambitious and specialist techniques and materials for colleges students and established textile artists.
