Transfer starts by acquainting crafters with the tools of the trade, such common household items as an iron and a color printer, and then suggests all sorts of surfaces for decoration -- linens, canvas, ceramics, wooden mats, glass, and cork. Design and application concepts in hand, crafters can choose from the wide variety of heat transfer projects -- personalizing cloth napkins, a canvas bag, sofa cushions, curtains and drapes; customizing dishes, ceramic tiles, wooden placemats, biscuit tins, glass jugs, and vases.

Great Intro To Transfer,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Transfer: Images on Glass, Fabric, Ceramic, Stone, Paper, Metal, Plastic and Wood (Paperback)
Makes transferring unintimidating. I don't understand why one reviewer thought this was not a "how-to" book, as directions make it very easy to follow and succeed. Tells you what you need to start, how to set up and how to do it on various surfaces. Book is laid out with list of materials needed, set up and how-to for each surface. Neat ideas to spur your imagination. Very helpful book for those wanting to transfer on fabric, less helpful for those wanting to transfer on ceramic, however, it still has value for teaching the process and leading you down new roads.

Gets to the point with good photos!,

This review is from: Transfer: Images on Glass, Fabric, Ceramic, Stone, Paper, Metal, Plastic and Wood (Paperback)
While I would agree with the other review that called this book a fun ideas book, I appreciate a book that gets down to it right away. I primarily like this book because it's features many projects with Lazertran transfer paper, as well as 6 or so other methods. A great book if you're looking for an introduction to tranfer techniques.

Great instructions for Lazertran papers,

This review is from: Transfer: Images on Glass, Fabric, Ceramic, Stone, Paper, Metal, Plastic and Wood (Paperback)
I like the book and the projects give you a nice jumping off point. The instructions are clear and seem pretty easy to do. However, I was looking for something with more transfer techniques then just the use of lazertran papers. Of the 16 projects in the book only 2 were methods other then lazertran transfers.I'm not unhappy with the book, but I think if I had looked at it in the bookstore I would have passed it up.
