Transfer t-shirts: All Cotton or does it matter???

[postesf]

Could some please offer your opinion/experience...

Does it matter what the t-shirts are made out of for the t-shirts you make w/ the transfers? It looks like most folks use a 100% cotton. If I can only find cotton/poly or the cotton w/ spandex, will that be ok???

Please help!

Thanks!
Stacie

I always try to use 100% cotton, because that's is what is stated on the tranfer paper directions. One time though, I could only find shirts that were 90% cotton & I think the other 10% was polyester...those came out fine.

Sorry I'm not much more help.

I've used 50/50 shirts with absolutely no problems. I've also used shirts with 95% cotton/5% spandex with no problems. You don't want to use a shirt with so much spandex that the design gets stretched, though, because it will crack.
