Cut out the templates

Trace each template upside down so the letter is facing the smooth side of the iron on adhesive.

All templates are traced.

Set your iron to the highest heat and without steam. Place each template with the rough side onto the wrong side of the fabric and press about 10-15 seconds or according to the iron on adhesive.

Carefully place a pressing cloth or scrap fabric onto one section of the templates, being careful not to shift them. Press 15-20 seconds or according to the iron on adhesive. Make sure not to move the iron! Once one section is pressed, reposition the pressing cloth and press the remaining area.
