Default Cannot get backing off Printed Treasures Paper

That's such a surprise - Printed Treasures have always worked just
beautifully for me. *I guess yours could have been stored/shipped in unkind

major struggle trying to remove the backing. *How to: *take a pin and
'score' across a corner about an inch in from the point of the corner.
(Score - drag the pin down hard across the corner to cut through the
backing). *Bend the sheet at the scoring and the cut edge should pop right
up.

cold water might help. *Printed Treasures have to be soaked as part of their
finishing treatment anyway.

Hi Helen, I don't use this brand so I can't answer your question but
here's the link to the website where you might find an answer to your
problem. *The instructions for use of each type of transfer medium is
available by clicking on the picture of each type and there is contact
info if you don't find a solution. jennellh

I have done some quilt labels on Printed Treasures transfer paper that
was run through my inkjet printer. The problem is that the backing
will not peel off! It's making quite the mess.


Any secrets to getting it off easier?


Thanks.
