Can anyone please help me find the design I'm looking for?? I saw it earlier today and can't locate it again... it a Halloween design with the castle.. Mickey & friends are standing in front of the castle dressed in costumes and there is a full moon in the sky.

Thank you!!

Hi everyone -

just tried to make my first t-shirt with not much luck! The backing paper doesn't want to seem to come off and when I try to pull it it looks like someone of the design is coming with it. I went over it again with the iron but not all spots are adhered. Any suggestions??

thanks

OMG LADYLUCCA!!! I looooooove the Baloo design...thank you so much!!!! The Bashful one is just darling!


scoutsmom...hope you're having awonderful trip.Be sure to post pictures!!

Lorikr65...did you let it cool completely? Or read over the directions that came with your tranfer paper and you might figure it our by reading those again what happened.


All in LA and TX...I hope you're safe.Y'all are in my prayers!

I've been looking at all the different designs for t-shirts. Wow!! The graphics and ideas are great.I did see a Harley Mickey and thought it would be really cute to have a Harley Minnie. Any one out there able to do this? Thanks, keep up the good work!!

Ladylucca. Thanks for making the Baloo design that I pm'd to you. I knew that Baloo would love it and I do too. I guess the possibilities are endless.

Mine does the same thing.. what type of transfers are you using? I've been using the "Print-N-Press" I'm going to switch to the Avery type as soon as I can get to wal mart.. I have a shirt that I bought with a design on the back.. and I want to put one of my own on the front... but I'm scared to until I get the process straight. Let me know what you find out!!

Wow, I had to keep the iron on it for a lot more than the 15 seconds recommended. Only problem is (my stupidity) I used a dark t-shirt and you couldnt see the design. I did call the company because Michael's didn't have any specific for dark shirts and they said I could use them - didn't work. So I went back to Michaels and got another shirt (they were on sale for $2.33) and got some iron-on transfers for dark shirts at walmart and I'll try it again tomorrow. Anyone know of where to get iron-ons for dark shirts at a good price??

One last thing - on the iron-ons for dark shirts like printing on white paper? In other words, will everything show up?

Thanks for your help!

I was using the june tailor print n' press. It seems like you just really have to have the iron on it for a long time and it needs to cool off completely. I just got the avery at walmart and I'm gonna give that a try tomorrow.

Good luck!!

Hey, anyone heard from J&N's mom about the transfer sheets? Kate, are you here? I can't remember when you were leaving (a few days now?!) and I haven't been on in a little bit.

I'm in NO hurry.... I just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing anything! Enjoy your trips, those of you traveling soon!

Triplefigs and lovespoohbear, how are you doing?

Fever Pitch

What did you think of it? We just got finished watching it today!

It will be just like printing on white paper and you do not print the image in reverse. What you see coming out of the printer will be exactly what you get on the shirt. I've used the Avery many times and have had no problem with them.

You are all so creative Do any of you have anything that relates to the Pirate Cruise from the GF? We are surprising DS 6 with this and wanted to leave some sort of invitation on his pillow. If any of you have any sort of logo that I could add some personalized info (his name, date, time) I would print it out and us is as an invitation instead of on a shirt. That would be too much for me

 

[julia & nicks mom]

Hello!!

we really liked Fever Pitch - although I had to listen to DH talk about his first game and how much he loves the Reds (yes he is a glutten for punishment!!!!) and get his version of Red Sox history!!

I put the transfers in the mail today to everyone except Triple Figs, Tink2020 and two others (sorry I forgot who) - one is shipping to Canada and the other 3 weighed enough that it will be cheaper to put them in a flat rate priority mail envelope than to pay regualr postage - I had no idea transfers would weigh so much!!!

So everyone should be getting them in the next few days - then I expect to see the finished shirts thread grow!!!!!

I have already done one if you want to use it

Thanks Julia and Nicks mom your the best!!

I can't wait to print my husbands shirt tomorrow. It's the tie-dyed looking one with grumpy that says "keep back 200 feet" and I will put it ont he back of his shirt (you know how some people in disney are right between your cheeks in line!!)

I did notice that the Avery ones tell you not to reverse the print. It mentions something about a template. Do you have to do that or do you just print it on the sheet. I've been using "paint" and I just make sure it's all OK. I'd hate to mess even 1 up. I paid almost $10 for 5 transfers.

Does anyone know if I should use the dark shirt transfers for yellow shirts? They are the color yellow of this smily . I'm thinking I should just to be on the safe side.

thanks again for your help!

My DH is adopted so our kids are the only blood relatives he has "

I am also adopted - at three weeks old - and I'm now 42. I don't know too many people that are adopted. It just wasn't spoken about when we were growing up. Nice to know I'm not alone!!

Hi, all! Just walked in the door from our LOOOOONNNNNGGGGG day (did the visit all in one day to avoid having to spend the night...). DH's grandmother has Alzheimer's and now her kidney is working at 50%. We spent 4.5 hours at the hospital today with her, and she never even woke up. DH feels good that we made the trip, just in case.

My family in Houston all evacuated safely to Waco, TX and should head back to Houston in the next day or so. Don't expect any damage at all- thank goodness! And my parents are spending the weekend with my Brother and SIL in south MS helping repair the roof. Seems like it's all getting better!

So, thanks for the prayers and good wishes. DH and I are heading to bed. We drove over 7 hours today with the kids and then spent the rest of our time at the hospital, so we're exhausted.

Night!

Well, took a shot at Kate's character names to use for the back of our shirts. Here they are:

Thanks Kate for the inspiration. Now, I guess I have to finally print these designs and iron them on our t-shirts. In less than six days, we'll be at WDW.
