Default Re: New to Heat Transfers....Cracking vertically..HELP!

thank you for replying!!
my design is actually a stylized chunky render of a skull & crossbones (the text is right on the skull so it doesn't escape the border), so i trim it out by hand. i use an x-acto....every slice and the IRON ALL crumbles debris everywhere, and several pieces then get stuck to the transfer itself leaving white 'spots'. i guess there is no way around that?

as for the iron.....i'm going to try really laying on it....but i fear i may need to purchase a heat press. i don't need anything large because of my apparel size. do you think a small press like the Jetpress 12 or 14 would suffice?
or
do you recommend investing in a small but more controllable press where i can adjust pressure as well?

i guess what i should do is try and transfer the IRON ALL and see what i get. I assume based on the stretchiness of my apparel that is the best paper for the job......at least i got something right
