Hi Everyone

Not sure if you can help but im having a nightmare,ive designedsome prints to transfer on2 tshirts etc & i am havinga complete nightmare!! :roll:

I have done a couple of testersand have popped them in2the washing machine to see how they go but unfortunatley they haveboth come out of the wash crackedand splitting (the transfer)

I am using the iron on transfer paper &have followedthe oinstructionsto a T , can anyone advice what i could be doing wrong its soo frustrating, please help :(

Anyone??? :?

oo hard one - i've never done it myself! maybe there is some sort of spray on fixer that you can use? failing that maybe iron wasnt hot enough or too hot? maybe someone else will have a better idea

Sadly i cant help either.I bought a iron on picture tshirt from ebay a while back, wore it once, washed it, half the picture came off!!

Hi, transfers are quite bad for coming off in the wash. Have you thought about transfer paint/dyes? You could still design outline patterns on computer, fill areas with dye as though painting then iron onto t-shirt. You can get some really nice results. Dyes can be bought in small art stores and colours mixed to suit.

I have done several with no problems perhaps you using too hot a wash or not keeping the iron on long enough to et the transfer

You could also go over your design with some fabric modpodge,after you have ironed your transfer on.
It usually works well and will wash ok at low temperatures
