Smile pressing second transfer on same shirt

Hello there, our second day on here, sure am going to appreciate and enjoy all the info that is available, learning more as I go.
tonight I have a question about putting two transfer on same shirt, if I put a transfer on shirt, and wanted to put a smaller one, say a title or name, after shirt has cooled off, would this be possible and okay to do? Wanting to try, but waiting for some feedback first, THAKS!!

Yes you should be able to do this. I suggest cover the first transfer with a silcone or teflon sheet, so you don't get ink on the press or ruin the first design. ..... JB

Ive done this....I just put a teflon sheet over the shirt first before pressing a second time. Otherwise you get a wonderful mess on the top of your platen.

Vicgene08 . . you also use parchment paper over the 1st design . . you get parchment paper at your local food store . . .

AND . . you can also get stock crystal transfers . . and place that over your 1st design ....
crystal transfers give your main design alittle sparkle
