Re: HELP! newbie crisis! WOOT!
success!
it was because we are making puppy shirts underside of the shirts (where the sleeve are) was creating an uneven surface to press the transfer paper on the front of the shirt. :/ who knew....lol
so we stuck a washcloth in between the shirt and its workin great

Re: HELP! newbie crisis! with hot peel you want to peel as soon as the press pops open. like seconds, otherwise you will have a hard time pulling the paper off and will peel some of your image. also don't forget to preheat your garment before you put your image down for pressing!
