J&N's Mom - Cute picture! My DDs would love it too.

I started freaking out about the crowds in the past few weeks because they increased the hours and there are no discounts for those weeks. I am still nervous. We like to go in Jan but we planned around fall break from school & we wanted to go to the Halloween party too. I have a lot of friends around home that went that week last year. They said it was not crowded during the week and that they walked right on rides. We plan to go to Epcot on Columbus Day because we figure they can handle the crowds the best. Oh Well, at least we will be at Disney!!!

Well, a few things....

I got several shirts done, but I guess the digital camera is still in DH's car from the corn maze last night with mom, dad and sis..... so no pictures tonight (he's on call)

Also.... what do I do when my "parchment" from the ebay papers gets worn out. I must have overworked it, because it's about down to nothing. And don't think you can just use wax paper (as with another transfer I used in the past).... because it won't work. One of my favorite designs is now most definitely stuck to the shirt..... but it also has the paper stuck on top (in perfect form, I might add) Any ideas?

On a brighter note, Pampered Chef rectangular pizza stones work fantastic for iron-ons where there is no formica!

Thanks for the tip on the pizza stone! That's good thinkin'!

As for the parchment paper, no idea how to get if off the shirt.
But, you can buy parchment paper on a roll. It's usually either in the baking section or with the aluminum foil and saran wrap...

Good luck!

Is that different than the "wax paper" I find near aluminum foil and saran wrap? Because that's what I used that got stuck!

Parchment paper and wax paper are two different things. The wax paper would most definitly stick to the shirt. I don't know how you will get if off. Good luck.

eh, I'm not going to try and get it off. Thankfully, it was a cheap, farily plain t-shirt and only 1 sheet of transfer paper. I just didn't know what to do in order to AVOID ruining anymore!

Thanks, though.... I'll check next time I'm at the store. I'm assuming that's what came with the paper, is the same parchment you're all referring to

I just ironed on a transfer printed on Avery dark paper on a dark purple shirt. Tink's wings turned a light purple. I did wash the shirt first no fabric softener. It started changing the color after only 1 minute of ironing. Does anybody know if I did something wrong or does a dark shirt just fade through a little bit?

I used a couple of different brands of grey T-shirts and found that one brand did bleed through a bit on the white areas. I ironed all the shirts the same length of time and they were all 100% cotton, but I definately notice the difference.

Tink 2020. I would try washing the T-shirt that has the waxed paper stuck to in in hot water. The paper may come off in the wash leaving the design on the shirt. You've got nothing to lose at this point.

Julia&Nick's Mom. Very cute costume. Your daughter looks very happy.

Thanks! I was looking at finished shirt pictures and it doesn't seem like everyone else had this problem. Maybe I will trying washing them a second time. I also have a bright orange & bright pink shirt of the same brand already washed one time. Thanks again!

Well, while all of you have moved on, I am just starting my tie dye shirts this weekend.

Bought nice t-shirts at Target for $1.12 on the clearance rack. Washed them, dried them, drew on Mickey heads, stiched and banded 1. Stitching the 2nd one now, will tie dye tomorrow.

Hopefully they will look good enough that I can post my first pictures!

Triplefigs: Love your sense of humor about the whole thing. I love that you can keep score. Sorry that the poop is winning

Brendita: So sorry that you are struggling right now. Know that our thought and prayers are with you.

For the person who was planning to make more than 100 T-shirts: I suggest you take your camera ready artwork to your local T-shirt shop. You will be amazed how cheaply they can make them for you. To save even more money, you could order your T-shirts and just have them create and heat press the transfer.

Thanks for keeping me entertained.

Kate, you are a brave, brave women- I love it!!!!!!!!!!!!

Triplefegs, remember thos famous words uttered by Tom Arnold in Austin Powers "You tell that poop who's boss!"

Tink, sorry about the shirts, that is my biggest fear that I will come this far and ruin 'em. All I have done so far is prewash the shirts and pre-iron them so there's no wrinkles when I put the transfer on.

And to whomever posted the tip about the PC stones- that is genius!! We only have Corian in our house and I was afraid of using my table after what happened to Kate's

I wish I knew where we put our pizza stones. This is an excellent idea...
