Discuss the various aspects of heat press technology. Transfer paper, inks, plastisol transfers, vinyl cutters, printers, commercial usage, durability, suppliers, etc.
I use teflon pillows for items that I want to stretch out a little. (baby onesies, ladies 1X1 ribbed shirts, toddler t-shirts) It allows you to slightly stretch out the garment and press the entire item without burning the seam lines into the back of the shirts (like a collar line)

a teflon pillow prevents uneven surfaces from affecting the transfer (e.g., buttons, zippers, seams, etc.)
am i on the right track?[/quote]
If this helps...I used a transfer on a polyester flight-bag and didnt put anything inside to plump it up...like say...a teflon pillow...i ended up with a scorch on the bag and damaged the zipper. I use my teflon sheet to protect not only my press, but also my tshirts.
And May I Ask Are These Very Helpful With The Heat Press?
Ii Am Sorry If This Seems Like A Stupid Question Just Trying To Figure Out Things That Will Help Us!
Thank You For Any Advice!!

I have the pillow that is for leg and sleeve, we used it when we printed on some sweatpants, which let me add took some extreme muscles to push the press down, haha. I tried using a mouse pad on something else to avoid buttons but that didn't work very well for me. The teflon sheet you have to use alot of times if you press something and the transfer doesn't stick well, then you use the teflon sheet to lay on the transfer and press again. Hope this helps!
