The indicia are correlated with the oppositely disposed parallel guide lines and with the subsection side edges to facilitate alignment and spacing with adjacent subsections containing indicia. Selected subsections are selectively removed from the carrier sheet and aligned upon a receiving fabric surface where the indicia directly engage and become permanently bonded to the fabric surface in response to heat. The carrier subsections are selectively removed from the fabric receiving surface following the application of heat and curing leaving the indicia permanently bonded to the fabric surface in predetermined alignment and spacing with adjacent indicia. Aligned subsections may be interconnected through the use of an adhesive tape prior to the application of heat.Field of SearchWith cutting of one lamina only while adheredAnd assembly with different lamina Of portion only of lamina from carrier Plural transferring operations and/or with additional laminating Transfer of printing or design With printing Embedding of laminae within face of additional laminae All laminae planar and face to face Direct contact transfer of adhered lamina from carrier to base Applying plural cut laminae to single face of additional lamina Trimmings Insignia Heat sensitive Coating opposite sides or forming plural or nonuniform coats Fluid contacting means (e.g., suction means, etc.) TRANSFER OR DECALCOMANIA Including layer of mechanically interengaged strands, strand-portions or strand-like strips With heat sealable or heat releasable adhesive layer | |
