It is strongly advised not to wash it too hot, as there is a risk that your print may come off and/or melt. * It attaches easily to all known fabrics, even silk. Simply adapt the temperature of your iron to the nature of your fabric. Where to get it? * You will find them in supermarkets such as Cora, Auchan or Carrefour, in discount stores such as Vima, Lidl or Foir'Fouille (depending on arrival), in computer shops such as Office dépôt or Top Office, or in specialist shops such as Filcordo or Atout loisirs.
