I am so excited about looking out for all these shirts at WDW!!! Please excuse me if you catch me staring at your middriff!

Of course, it will happen like it always does. I will see someone with a very cool transfer shirt or a tie-dye shirt, and I will approach them and ask them if they are Dis-ers. Then of course, they will look at me like I am from another planet and deny that they have ever heard of the boards.

Otherwise known as my DIS-nightmare; which I relive every time I am at WDW approaching strangers.

Long live the Sticky!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I could make a small lime green mickey head that we could iron on the sleeve of the shirts - this way we would all know they are DIS shirts and would easily reconize each other - it could jut be an inch tall and you put it on the right edge of the sleeve - easily noticable to all of us but would not detract from the shirt

I like that idea.
Easy for us to spot each other.

Excellent! ITA!

I did a shirt in microsoft word, how would I post the picture so I can show everyone?

Julia and Nick's Mom-- love the idea of the green Mickey on the sleeve I'll be sure to add it to the shirts we will be wearing. It may help when I meet up with a dis'er who offered to help me get into the hot seat for Millionaire

I am making the princess shirts for my 2 birthday girls (thanks to Julia and Nick's mom) But what should I be wearing??? I was thinking of a new design???? Maybe a "Fairly Good Mother" shirt, as I will be trying my best to make lots of dreams and wishes come true

Tell me please, does that sound too corny? Any ideas for clip art? Any of the "pros" want to take this on? Many thanks in advance

Great idea, as usual!

Print a Preview Always, always, always print a preview copy of your image before printing it on the (expensive) transfer paper. Do this to insure that colors print correctly, that your image doesn't fall into your printer's no-print zone along the margins, and to see what size your design will be (sometimes the on-screen view can be deceiving).

Flip Image Don't forget to flip or mirror your image. This is especially critical if you have text in your design. The text should be backwards on screen or on the print out. (Another good reason to print a preview copy first!) Some programs do this automatically.

Use the Right Side of the Paper Transfer paper has stripes on the non-printing side. Be sure to put the paper in your printer so that it prints on the clean white side.

White Does Not Print In designing your artwork remember that WHITE does not print. The fabric will show through any parts of the design that are white. For example, if you print a white ghost on plaid fabric — you'll get a plaid ghost! Plan your design accordingly. As with any desktop publishing project, consider the background color when selecting colors for your designs. [on some printers when you choose the t-shirt transfer - it will fill in the white parts]

Test on Scrap Fabric Test your design on “scratch fabric” before applying it to your final t-shirt or other fabric. Some types of fabric may require more ironing (heat) than others or may not show off your design as well as you expected.

Use Lots of Heat Use your iron's hottest setting but no steam. It takes a lot of heat to transfer the image evenly and completely to the fabric. Peel off the paper while it is still hot.

Use a Hard Surface The reason transfer instructions specify a hard surface (such as formica) is because it holds the heat. Ironing boards tend to disperse the heat and the transfer paper needs to be very hot to work properly.

So, is just safest to print these designs on white shirts to avoid color problems? I'd love to print some on blue, orange, pink, but I all the designs have white in them. So, am I better off just going with plain white? Any suggestions?

Cool idea about the lime green. Great sticky!!!

I printed one for Julia last year on pink without any problems -

do your designs have a lot of white in them? Why am I asking you - I made them?!?!

I think you should be okay - can you choose transfer on your pritner info - then I am pretty sure it would definately be white

I was just thinking the same thing earlier today. Great minds.....

I LOVE that design for Epcot. Did you create that on your own? That is awesome.

No, did not create the Epcot graphic on my own. During our July 2003 trip, that design was on some t-shirts at Epcot. I liked the design but didn't really need to buy another t-shirt. So, we took a picture of the design with our camera. And I got to thinking about it while watching this thread. Rather ironic, if you think about it.

I absolutely loooooovvvvvveeee the 3D mickey designs. I have never seen anything like them before. Keep up the good work. Could someone make a design with the 7 dwarves with September 2005 on it? Thank You

Thanks. I'll try it on a pink piece of fabric first.

And, I finally made one!

 

[XOoOoVEEoOoOX]

[KMH1]

Did you make that? it is really cool!!!!

Wasn't ignoring you, J&N's mom when I responded earlier. I was just reading posts backwards and it took a while to get four pages back.

Wow Kevin, I really like that Epcot design, too!

Hey Kevin....you being a man and all....(grin) what do you think you could come up with involving a Jessica Rabbit design for a 14 yo boy? (my son) He collects her pins, and now that his hormones are in action she is his favorite character, LOL.

This sounds like a fun one. I'll give it a shot and see what I can come up with.

Oh, yes I do!!!!!! I just used a wallpaper to do my shirt. I still can't figure out how to get the background off of the clip art, or I'll get it off with that tool you told me and then I can't save it? I'd like to save just the image with no backgroung, not pasted onto a new page??? Does that make sense?

Rees will love the John Smith. And the FMT is awesome!
