Speaking of "helpful members", that brings us to our next award:
Unbeknownst to Lou, he was already in the vote lead for the most helpful member, when, in true poker player fashion, he went "ALL IN" over the top with his super useful VIDEO Tutorial on heat pressing t-shirts with Ironall/Miracool transfer paper.
Lou, like many members of T-ShirtForums, continues to take time to share helpful tips in his area(s) of expertise. Lou also has gone out of his way to help members by phone, email, and PM.

This award was given by nomination from other forum members.)

Here's one Lou quote from one of the winning "interesting threads" from above:
"First, no question on this forum is stupid.. you may get some answers that may seem so but everyone here is helpful and generous in the support of new people trying to learn. I don't know the paper you are using but in general a hot peel paper is printed on the side with the coating. because it is logic that is what is going on the shirt. I use Iron All or Mira cool both hot peel. Both of these papers do not have markings on the back. By the way where do you get you paper so I can check the paper and maybe help you further. Lou"
