Tips for Printing and Embroidery on Mumbles Teddy Bears
Printing Tips
-
Preparing the Surface: Place your design onto the toy and cover with a protection sheet to prevent scorching. This will ensure your design stays crisp.
-
Sublimation Printing: Press the sublimation print for 60 seconds at 185°C (or 365°F) so the heat fully absorbs into the fabric. Carefully peel back the sublimation paper to reveal your vibrant design.
-
DTF and Vinyl Printing: Apply heat for 30 seconds at 185°C, then peel off the protection sheet and re-press for 10 seconds to seal your design.
Embroidery Tips
-
Preparing the Toy: Unzip and remove the stuffing to prepare the surface for embroidery.
-
Setting Up: Place the toy in the embroidery frame, keeping the fabric taut. Add backing paper to stabilise the fabric, and place aquafilm on top to prevent the design from sinking into the fur.
-
Embroidering: Once secured, mark your design placement and begin embroidering. Afterward, tear away the backing paper and dissolve the aquafilm, then put the stuffing back in to restore the toy's shape.
