I hate to place so much pressure on Lou, but maybe he could help me. I'm just trying to broadcast some of the issues I'm having with this new Sofstretch. Like I said, when it works, it's the best thing ever. And sometimes I practice on extra fabric and it works three times in a row, and then I go to make a shirt for a customer on a good t-shirt and it suddenly doesn't work.

This makes me think I need to be prepping the shirt differently, or that the thermo display on my press isn't working properly and not showing that it's overheating, or maybe I'm using too much pressure (is there such a thing?)... sigh. When I use grade 12 finite math to think of all the possible permutations of things that could be going wrong, it's a wonder anybody ever gets it RIGHT!

I'm gonna stick with Sofstretch because it's so much better ON the shirt than any other transfer paper I've seen. And it CAN'T be the paper's fault. I just wonder how close I'm gonna have to get to putting myself out of business before I get consistent results.
