    Make sure to leave EXTRA space when cutting around an image. As in the image here, there isn't enough space around the letter N.

    Be super conscious of the size of the freezer paper when working with the sponge and ink. You may accidentally swipe the sponge and ink onto your fabric..

    This will ruin your whole project.. After the ink has hit the fabric, it is usually too late and can’t be wiped off..

    The worst is if the garment or handbag is already sewn and a mistake like this happens. It is best to use the freezer paper on the fabric FIRST and then sew the project together.
