Abstract A combination flock and other material transfer. The flock has an open interior section. The other material, such as twill, is die cut greater than the opening of the interior section of the flock (4) but less than the outside dimensions of the flock design (2). The unit is applied to a garment (8) with a hot melt adhesive which seals the flock to the twill and the edges of the flock and the twill to the garment. <IMAGE>
