Scott, The teflon coating is the culprit....it can be more troublesome than 100% nylon sometimes. You can try using alcohol but that may not work.....it's not the same as waterproof material where alcohol will do the trick. We've found that you either need to go with a direct print or embroidery on teflon coated items, not transfers. If you use Stahls' or cut your own transfers using their materials, try Gorilla Grip. It is designed for smooth nylon fabrics, but it may be the only transfer that will adhere to your material.
