I grabbed a brayer I have and smoothed over the paper then gave a final press."
"A shrunk fabric works best. • the more time you spend prepping and the closer you follow the instructions the better your end product. • don't be afraid of force (pushing down) and heat. • Trimming the extra paper on the light paper minimizing areas that will be clear but somewhat glossy. • Trimming the extra areas on the dark paper avoids transferring the color white to the fabric. • Through trial and error I figured out it is better to avoid sharp corners to make them round, reducing the risk of corners peeling off. • The side of the paper you print on is the white side for both dark and light paper, so make sure you know how to load the paper in your inkjet printer. • Your final print area can be larger than a sheet as you can cut images/words from the paper and space them or use them elsewhere on the shirt (for instance, arm badges can be printed in a corner of the same sheet). Trick: • To avoid damage to the reverse side graphics, if you do a front/back design, use a large cutting board or a piece of flat wood slide it in the t-shirt that way the wood sits between the front and back. I used Powerpoint and flipped the images and writing and avoided the online Avery tool for doing so. • As mentioned before, you don't have to cut very precisely as you only leave behind gloss/clear where you don't trim. Dark Color Paper: • You DO NOT need to print in reverse. • You need peel of the printed paper BEFORE initiating transfer with an iron -I wasted one sheet not bing careful. • The portion you don't trim transfer as white and you can create a border, rough or smooth, as I did with the front of the dark t shirt. • Peeling the transfer portion from the t shirt before ironing is difficult....I used tweezers and eventually I managed to peel off the backing. • You use an included parchment paper over the peeled paper to press the image onto the fabric. Final Impressions: • Don't expect professional grade printing. • Recognize these are not permanent and are intended for fun and event needs. • Mistakes and rough edges on my work is my own haste getting in the way. This met my needs, to have a front/back t-shirt design on both dark and white t-shirts, using the appropriate paper for each color."
"If you're seeing bubbling, you might want to turn the iron temp down slightly or decrease ironing time. If you have an extra transfer sheet, you can print a page of several smaller test designs on the extra sheet. The tests will allow you to calibrate your iron temperature and ironing time. When I cut out my design, I made sure to leave little 1/2" tabs at one corner so I wouldn't mess up the design when trying to peel off the backing. When this happened, I quickly abandoned that corner and moved to the opposite corner of the design and was able to separate the backing correctly from there. I'm guessing that along one (or more) edges of the transfer sheet, the backing may be stuck on just a bit more tenaciously so that it doesn't peel off accidentally (or in the printer). Luckily, I was always able to find a place on my design where I could peel the backing away properly. Once the backing started peeling away correctly from one side, the corners that originally had trouble on the other side peeled off just fine. * Print a few test transfers (can be small) to help calibrate iron. Bubbling: turn iron temp down or reduce ironing time. Peeling: increase ironing time, really press down firmly on the iron. Pay special attention to edges and corners. * If possible, leave tabs on 2 opposite corners of your design to aid in removing backing - trim off later."

Reviews
Find Best Price at Amazon"Disappointed that the package of 150 studs that was "included" was not there."
"I wish the product was built to be more sturdy."
"I had the original BeDazzler as kid - I remember bugging my parents relentlessly until they finally caved and gave it to me three weeks before Christmas. We re-"crystallized" the original t-shirt, a dress, two pairs of sneakers and a bunch of hairbows and they look damn-near professionally made. Other than my one-week love affair with the original BeDazzler, I had no prior rhinestone experience, so it's easy and quick to learn. My niece loves her new "diamond sticker" tool and I enjoyed using it so much, I went home and promptly bought another one for me with the money I had leftover! My advice to you is to skip this overpriced plastic piece of crap and pick up a hotfix rhinestone setting tool. And the end result is completely wearable and washable - we tested the items we crystallized thoroughly, and lost only a single stone out of the 1,026 we hotfixed."
"The jewels would not close creating an issue for the 5 year old that was supposed to be wearing it."
"Very lame and since it was used, there were no clear rhinestones, but it just doesn't work through fabric."
"Save your money."
