Anyone know how to get a heat transfer off a 100% Egyptian Diamond Knit Cotton shirt? I had a mistake with 5 of them and no place around has them in stock until the middle of next month! Not sure what to do. Any suggestions?

Is this the type of shirt you need? I found some on ebay, I think.

Yeah it is. I bet they're out of stock as well, they just auto-place those ebay ads. I called around to a few places but everyone was out.

I fixed it by putting a darker blue square background over the messed up text, then put the new text over the darker blue square. Doesn't look perfect, but we are returning their money on the few that were messed up so they will be okay with it I think. She placed her order with us then went out of town, so she couldn't approve the proof.

It depends of if you used light or dark transfer paper. If it's light paper, I don't have a clue. I tried using one of those spray guns with the special solvent in it that screen printers use to spray away transfers on a white t-shirt and all it did was bleed all over the shirt.

If you used dark transfer paper, I've read (on this site) that you should put a normal piece of paper over the transfer and heat with the hotpress. The transfer will stick to the paper and should remove.

Another suggestion is to use dark transfer paper and press the design, printed a little bigger, over the messed up design to conceal it. It'll make the shirt feel twice as thick, but it's better than nothing.
