Welcome Jane from Beautiful BC.
I'd also like to know about those no-winter-coat-romp-in-the-fields...lol.
There are a lot of different methods for applying transfer tape. Dales Big Squeegee tool is very useful. You can also have the tape roll suspended about a foot above the end of the table on a crossbar. Lay your graphic on the table ( should be a smooth table). Stretch the tape out above ( and beyond) the graphic.
Let it gently lie down on the graphic nearest you then use you hand or a squeegee to apply the tape to the graphic.. It IS important to get a wrinkle-free application of the tape.
Hope this helps...Ken
