Just completed my first t-shirt - advice needed

[Giggle]

I just made my first iron on t-shirt this afternoon and I love it. My son loves it too, it was hard to get him to take it off. I have a question though. On the sides of the design there is some red bleeding that has the imprint of the edge of my iron on it. I took a close up shot. I used June Tailor Dark Transfer paper. The directions said to hold the iron down for 20 seconds until I had done this over the whole design. Would it be better to just move the iron back and forth? What do you think may have caused this bleeding? On this design, it doesn't really matter, but on the next one i do, it will matter. Any help or advice? Thanks Amy Mickey for the design!!!!!

Did you iron over parchment paper? I assume so. In that case I would keep the iron moving and press pretty hard. Each transfer paper brand is different, but that worked well for me and I had no bleeding or any trouble with not adhering.

One other thought...you shouldn't use a high quality setting when printing or the ink may not fully absorb into the transfer paper and be sure it is completely dry.

Looks great, though! Good job!

OK so I set the printing image to "fine". I can just leave it normal?

You will be at WDW one week after me. You must be arriving on the 22 - the day I leave.

Very Cute! Thanks for the picture - you are very welcome for the design.

I would also try to do the things already listed in the previous post and hopefully that will solve the problem. Sorry, I can't be of more help!
