Help - Iron On Transfers -
#1
How do you know if Iron On transfer are still good.
I found a book while going through mom's sewing items. It's called OLD FASHIONED GIRLS QUILT - by Louis Kocks
It has iron one transfers for easy thread or liquid embrodery plus step by step quilt making instructions.
The book was produced by Rita Weiss - & American School Of Needlepoint - I can't find anything about it - but at the bottom of each page it has the date 1981 (30 yrs ago)
The iron ons are black & white - the are girls in long dress with parasols - I am trying to find some type of hand work while on vacation
How can I tell if these transfers are good?
What would be the best way to transfer these on the fabric? What type of fabric shold I use?

I don't really know if they ever "go bad" as long as the paper is holding together. If there is a test design, use it to test; if not, I guess you'll just have to go for it and see if it works, or trace with a lightbox instead, as someone else suggested.
I used to sell on Etsy, and I sold a vintage Holly Hobby transfer (from the early 80's I think) pattern, and told the buyer I'd refund her money if it didn't work, and she said it worked fine.
