t-shirt help and scotch guard ?

[danielle916]

i read on here some where (sorry can't find the thread) that you can spray your shirts with scotch guard?
can anyone tell me what thats for, and why?

and also, can anyone recommend a good iron on paper, i made a nice princess shirt for myself, dh put it in the drier and it started peeling and cracking, i only got to wear it once, i was so upset.......

did i do something wrong?

thanks for any help!

The paper I bought for light shirts cracked with the first wash. I have used the paper for dark shirts since then and have had no problem with that. I don't remember the name brand of the paper for darks I got it off of ebay. The paper I got from walmart was for light colors. Sorry I can't help with that much more than that. If I remember right they were saying the scotch guard helped protect the disign from stains.?. Hopefully someone else that knows for sure will answer your questions.

The Scotchguard is to seal the transfers so they do not run.
I have not made any shirts yet but I plan on Scotchguarding them to be safe.
