Newbie With Questions & Pics

[AngelBabyJana]

Hi there! :wave2: I am new to the DISign board. For the 4th of July, I did matching family t-shirts. So many people gave us compliments on them. I will put photos below - anyone know who designed these? I wanted to give proper credit, but at the time just clicked & saved without thinking about it (sorry, new to this).

Second question, the shirts turned out great (didn't wash before wearing them) - used Avery dark transfers with Fruit Of The Loom & Hanes shirts. When I washed them, the designs definitely had alot of "wrinkle" in them (every shirt the same). No, they are not cracking or peeling - the shirt looks fine - just "wrinkles" in the design. These are the first shirts that I have ever made. Any clue what I did wrong? Iron too much? Not enough? Any tips would be appreciated .... about to try making more. I went though and read all the threads on t-shirts, but didn't see any questions like this.

We are going to Disney as a Grand Gathering with extended family in May, so I want to master this before I start making shirts for the entire group.

Thanks so much!

Your shirts look really great. I'm not sure who designed them but you did a great job. Thanks for sharing the pictures.

Wrinkles may be just part of what an iron on does. :confused3 I'm glad they didn't peel, crack or run for you. The transfers will never be like a regular t-shirt you get at the store. You could probably iron them to get the wrinkles out.

Thank you! :) All of you designers are soo nice to share your designs with us ...... it really is appreciated.

I will try turning the shirt inside out & ironing it - I doubt that will help though. I may just experiment with a few more designs & use different kinds of transfer paper until I get the hang of it. Maybe the stretchable kind?

Thank you for your input and taking the time to respond. :)

shirts look really good! And no bleeding, right?

can you post a pix of the wrinkled tee? would love to see how much it wrinkled.

BTW, did you put it in the dryer?

I have "reironed" my tees after washing - some by turning inside out; others by putting that parchment paper back on top of the design and redoing. Not sure it it's possible to iron too much w/the parchment paper though so I'd try the inside out solution first to see if that resolve the wrinkling problem.
