Got my photographs reprinted onto the new Lazertran Silk transfer papers at Osbornes in Harborne, then started to iron them onto my banner.
Didn't work, so I went back to the instructions and realised that I was probably using the wrong type of material. A quick phone call followed by a trip to Barry's Fabrics in Birmingham for Habatori Silk rather than a synthetic material and I was up and running again.
Things seemed to be going well for once and I put the completed banner in the bath to soak off the backing paper.
Did I speak too soon? - there was quite alot of 'drift' from the images - caused either by too many images soaking together or by too hot water. However, I was planning to manipulate the banner with applied 'embellishment' (this is not in the embroidery state) so I am holding my breath somewhat. Have sewed pockets for poles to support the banners and will take them in to uni on Tuesday to work out the schedule for the next step.
