I made these shirts for Cliff and Harper to wear to the hospital when Hollis was born!
I took a roll of Heat n Bond and cut a piece the size of printer paper.
Then I went to the computer and picked out the words/fonts, etc I wanted to use.
Make sure you print the letters out BACKWARDS on the Heat n Bond!
Then I put the piece of Heat N Bond paper side UP in the printer with a few pieces of printer paper behind it and printed the letters onto the Heat n Bond!
Next, I gathered scrap fabric, cut out the letters and ironed the Heat n Bond to the back of the fabric according the directions on the package.
Cut out the letters, iron to the shirt and then stitch the letters onto the shirt.
Now you have a super cute shirt with perfect lettering!
Seriously, this may be my new favorite way to applique letters!
Anyone can do it!
Think of the possibilities!
You can do initials, names, words, shapes, etc!
Happy Appliqueing!
Those are so cute! Great idea! xo
Looks great Natalie! Perfect way to get the font and look you want.

How do you get them to print backwards? is that option when you print?
Hey Natalie!
They look unbelieveable.:)
Question… is your printer a ink jet printer, or laser. I have a laser jet, but it heats to apply the toner to the paper… so I’m guessing that it could be a problem with the glue on the heat and bond. Any suggestions?

So precious!!! Do you ever have trouble with your fabric “bubbling” when you sew it on? It just sewed a pumpkin appliqué on a shirt and it bunched a little which was okay bc it was a pumpkin but it worries me when I start to sew letters. Any advice?
What font did you use?
I was wondering the same thing and it looks like you must use an Inkjet printer.
yes, what font is this that you used?
I had no idea you coudl print onto Heat N Bond. Genius idea!! I can’t wait to do this!
