Default Small Question .. how do you handle zippers when doing heat transfers?

ok when doing a heat transfer on a zipper down hoodie ..

Do you do it over the zipper closed and when done will opening the zipper ruin it ? or do you do half and half on each side to clear the zipper area , getting as close to the zipper area as possible?

I know .. really DUh kinda question .. but its confusing me .. being a total newbie to this craft and still reading before buying supplies.

I would do it with the zipper "zipped". Most zip hoodies I've seen have an enclosed zipper, so this would look better in my opinion.
I suppose you COULD do half and half, but i think you would run the risk of it looking sorta silly.

Hope this helps...
