I did my first shirt very carefully turned out good, I also tye died some that turned out ok, I guess I was not thinking it through all the way and just printed 5 family type designs ready to iron on and realized I forgot to flip them what a waste. thats so frustrating..........
but I think I am addicted and I love the great job all of the designers do

I truely feel for you - I can imagine your frustration.

The first time I did iron ons - I didn't know about light vs. dark transfers. I was putting a santa Mickey on a red shirt. Imagine my surprise when he was red!

I guess sometimes, we have to learn the hard way. But maybe you posting this will save another person from doing the same thing.

Keep your head up and enjoy the rest of your fabulous shirts!

thanks besides venting it was my hope to save someone else this frustration.

you are awsome amy, I wish you could still do disney designs I have seen many i would like.

If I were you, I'd print them on the back of the shirts and add the correct one from the front. I think that would be cute if I saw someone walking through the park and could read the reverse of their shirt from the back.

If the characters on the shirts don't have any writing, you could cut them out and put one on the sleeve or the upper back. Just a few suggestions to save your hard work!

Ok, since you mentioned the light versus dark shirts and have experience....tell me when to use which one. I am doing 5 shirts per person (12 people) for a trip in June and don't know if I should use light or dark transfers. We are using yellow, white, lime green, hot pink, and sky blue shirts. Any help is greatly appreciated. The transfer pics range in colors, some black mickey heads with words and some very colorful (princesses and animal kingdom colors too).

I use Dark transfers for any color shirt other than white. You can use light transfers for your light colored shirts (grey, yellow, sky blue, etc) but EVERYTHING white will be shirt color, including faces. Basically, a light transfer is clear (think transparency) and the ink adds the color. A dark transfer is white (think computer paper) and the ink changes the color.

Only the light transfers need to be reversed (flipped). Dark ones do not.

Hope this helps.

Well, that explains why everything I do always comes out tshirt color!! I'll have to go exchange my light packs for dark ones! You don't by chance use photoshop do you???? I've been doing what I can in word but am looking at doing photoshop so I can create things like Mickey heads, etc. and have absolutely no idea how to even start. I'm at a complete loss and getting frustrated.
