• Awful

  These are awful. I've used another brand's iron-on transfers before with no problem. These not only made all the whites in the design yellow-ish, but they fell apart on the first wash - even turning them inside out.

  The clear part turns yellow and there's a thick filmy residual that remains on the fabric.
  
  it's ugly and obviously amateur looking. would give zero stars if possible. don't waste your money!
  
  

• I Think They're Lousy.

  I wouldn't waste my money on these again. The transfer ironed on just fine, the paper backing peeled away smoothly, but there was a waxy, plastic like coating on the transfer itself. It felt stiff and unpleasant, but I thought maybe it would be better after washing. No such luck. Now the waxy coating is peeling and flaking off--the front of the T-shirt looks like a giant Frosted Flake.
  
  I'm very disappointed with this product.
  
  

• You must try the new and improved ones

  They have a sticker on the packages saying the colors are brighter and they won't crack. I tried those first and they are beautiful. I bought some more, but they didn't have the sticker on them. Those must be what everyone here is reviewing. The old ones are indeed waxy with okay colors. I hope they don't peel like everyone says. But those improved ones are wonderful - brilliant colors and nice feel, not waxy at all. Trust me, there is a difference. I haven't washed the new improved ones yet, but they do look like they are durable and will withstand the wash. Wish there was a way to tell if the package we are getting from Amazon is new or old. I think the stock number is the same.
  
  UPDATE: It has been an entire year since I've done some thirty or so transfers using various brands. Those new and improved Avery transfers are the best. One year later, through repeated washings, the new and improved ones still look bright and beautiful. The others are old and faded. Look carefully on the package. If they are new and improved Avery, that's the one you want.
  
  

• Mine crumbled apart after one washing.

  I pre-washed my shirt. I tested my art by printing it out on a plain sheet of paper before using the iron-on sheet. The iron-on sheet came out looking great! I followed the instructions to transfer the image, and again, everything went perfect and looked great.
  
  The trouble came when I washed the shirt. The transfer did not survive. It came out of a gentle wash cycle looking VERY crackled and even peeling off a bit. I was crushed. I wear my crackled shirt around the house, but it's not fit for the public. The dark shirt transfers seem to have gotten much better reviews, but I'm scared to try them because of how horrible this one came out.
