A Warning if you're making transfers

[MichiganMomto4]

And it's very possible that this information is already here and I missed it but what I read said to do a mirror image. Only took me an hour (and a shout out to my 15 yr. old tech savvy son) and I did it

So I did a mirror image.

4 of them in fact.

On 4 rather expensive sheets of transfer paper.

THEN, I read the directions........

DO NOT COPY MIRROR IMAGES

I had to go buy another packet of $11.00 transfer paper

So, learn from me, read the directions on the transfer paper BEFORE you make your copies.

My guess is you were using dark transfer sheets (or rather, sheets made specifically for dark t-shirts). Those typically are printed normally rather than mirrored. Sorry about your wasted sheets!

 

[MichiganMomto4]

They said any color. I was at Walmart and it was my only choice, so....

Totally my fault. I just thought I'd let other people who may (or may not :lol ) be as stupid as I, in on the hint.

Hey - I see you arrive the day after we do! Where are you staying? We'll be at the Wilderness Lodge from the 13th till the 20th

We did that too with the dark transfers. I wasted about 5 of them! Oh well. Lesson learned. I'm figuring it out and we're doing a bunch now!! Got to go iron them on now!!

I just did that too! I had my 13 year old neighbor show me how to flip them then when I printed the computer mirrored them for me because I entered iron-on transfers in the paper type. I too did not notice they were wrong until my third one. The second batch didn't work either because I used stretch transfers and could not get them to transfer. Well, third time was a charm. The shirts turned out great (even though they are a little expensive ). Now I need to make more t-shirts so I can use my new skills.


See now you can feel better at least you didn't go throught 2 sets of transfer paper like me.

We opted for a family suite at ASMu this time. Have you been to WL before? My dh and I were there a while back and loved it!

Nope, it's our first time at WL. We were originally booked at Pop but when the 4/3 deal came out, it was close to the same price for WL so what the heck!

let me know how those family suites are. I think they look great, especially for my size family (if we ever all go again. My boys and DH aren't Disney freaks like the girls and I. They are staying home next week and they're going to freeze ).

Anyway, have a great trip! If you see a 6 year old with a Little Mermaid or Pooh 'it's my birthday - Erin' on, say hi! That's us
