Need help with transfer paper

[klcason]

Hi,

I am trying to get my first shirt done and I can't get the paper to peel. I mean in the step 2 on the paper, right after you have printed it. I so don't get what I am doing wrong.

I need transfer paper for dummies

Any advice???

Mine was very hard to get started too. I finally learned that if you make a gentle tear (in an area not in the design preferably) the paper will tear but the transfer will not. Then it's easy to peel off. Usually Id make a tear in a corner not in the design then peel back enough to make a slit with the scissors under the design then lay the paper back down and trim out the design. That way it's easy to get started again. Sometimes I forgot to do this before I did the trimming and had to tear the edge of the trimmed design but it never tore the transfer. You just get nervous- you know? Hope this makes sense and helps you!
