Hi, I'm new to the t-shirt iron-on thing, so simple explanations work great. I do not know what type of transfer paper to buy, so help is appreciated and thanks in advance

Here's my situation: I have light colored shirts (green, blue, white, gray) that I'd like to print on. http://i38.tinypic.com/2s8ogo2.jpg
However, my designs are not geometric shapes, like so, so cutting them out perfectly is not an option: http://i33.tinypic.com/6p80up.jpg

I have seen some pics of what can go wrong:
1) The design has a plasticy-look surrounding it: http://i278.photobucket.com/albums/k...s/33049c6c.jpg
2) The design has white around the edges: http://www.printonit.com/v/vspfiles/photos/OPAQUE25LONG-2.jpg

My designs have white backgrounds and no white in the designs themselves, so I do not want white ending up on the shirts. What kind of transfer paper should I buy? If someone could direct me the right away I'd appreciate it. Again, thanks so much for the help.
