How to position transfer on shirts?

[katied]

I know there was a thread a couple months ago which explained where to place the transfer on the tshirts for kids and adults. Search isn't working, and I can't seem to find it myself. Any ideas?

I'm ready to iron and am hoping for quick help.

THANKS!

I measure down from the collar.
4 inches for adult sizes.
3 inches for kids sizes.
Hope this helps you out.

OK, I did all of them, and I'll post pictures soon, but I tried "too hard". I was done with the last once (I did 8 total) and then decided that a couple corners could use a bit more heat. So, instead of putting the parchment paper over the entire iron-on, I tore it into pieces just to do the corners (so that I could do all three shirts and a time and save on cooling time). Of couse, I didn't think what would happen if the iron touched some of the iron-on's not covered by parchment paper. But now I know what happens - you melt your iron-on into nothing. So, I ruined 3 shirts after it was all said and done. So- off to buy more matching tshirts, more paper from ebay, print and trim them all again, and they try to be more careful next time...

This is getting expensive. I should have just left well enough alone...

I do the same. Also you can reduce the size of the actual transfer when its for a young child so it's not too big on the shirt.
