Method of affixing heat transferrable indicia to a fabric surface

A method of permanently affixing heat transferrable indicia to a fabric surface employing a mounting surface, an adhesive tape, an iron, and a heat transfer including a carrier sheet having a plurality of spaced markings defining detachable subsections each having a first side containing a heat releasable indicia and a second oppositely disposed side containing a plurality of guide lines, comprising the steps of removing predetermined subsections from the remainder of said sheet by severing at and between said markings immediately adjacent said predetermined subsections, placing said first sides of said removed subsections immediately adjacent said mounting surface and aligning said guide lines of each subsection with said guide lines of adjacent subsections to form a series of correlated subsections, placing said adhesive tape across said series of subsections with an adhesive tape side adhering to said second sides of said subsections within said series and providing first and second outer tape ends extending beyond said series of subsections to form an interconnected array maintaining said subsections in correlated alignment, removing said interconnected array from said mounting surface and placing said first sides of said interconnected array in immediate contact with said fabric surface and affixing said first and second outer tape ends to said fabric surface, applying said iron to said second side of said interconnected array for a predetermined time and transferring said individual indicia while aligned from said subsections within said array to said fabric surface by applying heat of a predetermined temperature to said indicia and permanently bonding said transferred indicia to said fabric surface, applying pressure to said second side of said array, cooling said array for a predetermined time, and removing said array of interconnected carrier sheet subsections from said fabric surface by lifting said tape from said fabric surface with said transferred indicia separated from said carrier sheet and permanently bonded to said fabric surface in correlated alignment.
