Why does the transfer look lighter in some areas then others?
A. There could be a few reasons why: 1. This can be caused by uneven pressing. If there is a difference in thickness of the fabric due to a seam or fold, etc. and you iron on your transfer in that area this will cause uneven pressing. You should avoid these areas. If it cannot be then just be aware of the seam and use the edge of your iron and more pressure while ironing to secure the image in place. Usually if there is a slight color difference it is hardly noticeable. 2. Also, it can be caused from not enough heat and pressure. Both heat and pressure play a very big part in pressing on any craft transfer. Make sure your iron is at the temperature that is recommended on the instructions and apply FIRM pressure.
