Transfer foils

There are several types of heat transfer foils.

Jones Tones and Tonertex are two brands you may have come across in the U.K. They are the best quality foils to use in textiles. They are hot or cold release are washable and don’t fade.

Omnicrom foils have escaped into the textile field from the printing industry. They are useful for many craft projects but are a different quality of foil and are not as reliable as Jones Tones or Tonertex.

I only sell Jones Tones foils. These foils can be used hot with Bondaweb and Hot Spots and cold with foil glue, double sided products and basically anything that stays tacky.

Always use foils colour side up. If using an iron with Bondaweb or Hot Spots, use baking parchment between the iron and the foil and make sure the iron is on medium. If the heat is too hot, the foil will pucker and not release its colour.
