If you are trying to permanently bond to fabric you must use HTV for the best results. HTV is a specialty material designed with a high resistance to heat and a unique hotfix adhesive on the back. The special hot set backing melts into the fibers of textiles, when applied with the proper heat temperature and the correct pressure. This hot bonding process allows the specialty material to form a strong bond on porous surfaces such as fabrics, leathers, and other textiles in a way that adhesive vinyl cannot. HTV is ideal for creating custom apparel designs that are both durable and washable. In Contrast, regular Adhesive Vinyl is used to make sticker decals. It will not adhere to textiles and Adhesive Vinyl will melt if you try to heat press it.
