Red face More newbie needs help information

I am using a Jet Press 12 it is the older version that does not have a heat setting (one heat only) nor does it have a way to change the weight.

I purchased the Haines Beefy t-shirt and pressed the decal to it for 20 seconds let it cool and then peeled it. I am using a transfer paper from printonit.com

Well the decal peeled in one corner, and it is cracking when stretched (wearing it) It looks like crap to be honest. Can some one please help me and tell me what to do. My dad wants me to have two of these by Wednesday and they are not coming out the right way for me to wear and say his daughter did them they are an embarrassment to be honest.

PLEASE HELP

It sounds like you might need a better heat press that can deliver more even heat and pressure. 5 Tips: How to select which heat press to buy?

There are a loyt of heat trransfers that are not designed to be stretched. If so the crack. Try one of the new papers for lights.
