Default Best way for pressing transfers on hoodies

What is the best way for pressing the transfers on hoodies. They're so big and bulky they really don't fit the normal way. I can put the hood hanging over the right side I guess. Should I center it by using the middle where the hood meets the front collar area? I can't use the T-Square it!

Ok, I believe i can do them the normal way. I just stuff the hood outside the platen the best I can.

Yep - or sideways, or even upside down

Depends on the size of transfer and press.Normally I hit it with an iron first then turn the hoodie sideways.Most likely whatever feels more comfortable for you...

Well, I was up until 5:30 am doing these but I was able to get them done and I'm about to go ship the order. I was able to roll the hood and stuff it behind the platen and in front of the hinge. Got a couple of nice burns though when moving the hood.
I'll post pics later. Not so much of the burns, but the hoodies and sweatpants.
