Creating a t-shirt design with easy-sheet peel off letters &
logos
First
lay your T-shirt flat and create a lineup grid for the size of the
design you want to create. In this example we want to create curved type on the top
part of this design (use your computer for this). Line up the grid
to the center of the shirt. Make a note of up and down dimensions as
well.
Carefully
peel transfer letters off the paper backing sheet and line them up
on the curved template.
Once
your type is placed, continue to work on your centering and spacing
between the letters so they are all even.
If
you want to include a graphic make sure you include enough space for
it. First, take the tiger graphic and cut closely around it, and center
it below the westwood type (flock side up for now).
With
the tiger head holding the center position, we can now put our second
line of type underneath. Using a T-square can help you line up and
center your type. Now, remove the tiger graphic and press the letters
for 12-15 seconds with medium pressure. Temperature setting on your
heat press or iron should be between 325-350°.
Now
place the graphic tiger into its original center position, flock side
to the shirt and measure for proper centering. You may need to create
a couple of marks on the paper side to indicate where the design is
level before heat pressing. (note: make sure your transfer is on the shirt and the paper is facing you)
Now
repress the design with the required time, temperature and pressure,
after 12-15 seconds lift the press head or iron and peel off the paper
backing.
Finish
by brushing off any loose fibers that are still showing on the design.
Dabbing with a piece of tape is also very effective for removing loose
fibers.
