💖 What the Heck is DTF, Anyway?

Alright, darlin’, let’s break it down.

DTF stands for Direct to Film — it’s the magic behind those bold, buttery-soft prints you can’t stop touchin’. 💅

Here’s how it works: your design gets printed onto a special film, covered in a fine adhesive powder, and then heat-pressed onto your garment. The result? Vibrant colors, crazy good detail, and a soft feel that lasts wash after wash.

Unlike vinyl or screen printing, DTF doesn’t crack, peel, or flake — it stretches, moves, and stays fabulous (just like you). 💖

You can press it on cotton, polyester, blends, even canvas bags — basically, if you can press it, you can DTF it! 😉

✨ Why You’ll Love It:

• 
  Works on light and dark fabrics 🎨
  
• 
  Long-lasting and soft to the touch 💋
  
• 
  No weeding, no mess, just press and impress 💅
  
• 
  Perfect for small shops, crafters, and go-getters

Alright, darlin’ — you’ve got your fabulous Prissy Pig prints, now let’s make ‘em shine! Follow these steps and you’ll be lookin’ like a heat press pro in no time

Set that heat press, honey!
🔥 Temp: 300–315°F
⏱ Time: 10–15 seconds
💨 Pressure: Medium to firm (give it a little muscle, but don’t crush it)

Press it pretty.
Lay your shirt flat, no wrinkles allowed — we’re classy like that. Place your transfer design-side down and press.

Cool it down.
Be patient, sugar! Let that transfer cool completely before peeling. (We know you’re excited, but trust us — cool peel = perfect peel.)

Peel it slow and sassy.
Once it’s cool, peel that film like you’re unwrapping something fabulous. If you see any edges lifting, press again for a few seconds.

Lock it in, baby!
For extra durability, cover with parchment or a Teflon sheet and give it one more 5–8 second press. That design’s not goin’ anywhere. 💅

💖 Pro Tips from Prissy Pig:
Don’t skip the pre-press — moisture is not your friend.
Always test one first if you’re new.
And most importantly... strut your stuff when you’re done — you made that magic happen!

Alright, darlin’ — you spent your time makin’ that shirt fabulous, so let’s keep it lookin’ fresh! Follow these easy care tips to keep your Prissy Pig prints poppin’ and pretty:

Wait before you wash, sugar.
Give your garment at least 24 hours after pressing before its first wash. She needs time to settle in! 💅

• Flip it inside out.
  Always wash inside out to protect that gorgeous print from friction and fading.
  

• Cool, calm & gentle.
  Use cold water and a gentle cycle. No hot drama here, just a chill wash.
  

• Say no to the harsh stuff.
  Skip the bleach, fabric softener, and anything with a bad attitude. They’re too rough for your pretty prints. 🚫
  

• Hang it up, honey!
  Air dry or tumble dry on low heat. High heat = heartbreak (and cracked designs 😭).
  

• Iron with caution.
  If she’s wrinkly, turn that shirt inside out and never iron directly on the print — protect it with parchment or a press cloth.

💋 Prissy Pig Pro Tip:

Treat your DTF tees like your favorite lashes — gentle care keeps ‘em flawless longer!
