first make your design in illustrator or paint then flip it so that the writing and picture is backwards
print it out(make shure your transfer sheet is inkject or lazer) and use the right printer for the paper
now cut out your design(as close to the edge of the design you can get
now turn your press on To turn it on there is usually a red or green button/switch put the heat at 187 C and wait for it to heat up (keep lid down)
when its hot, open the lid place a silicone sheet(or a peice of parchment paper) down on the press mat now place your shirt down and place another peice of parchment put the lid down a press for 5 seconds
put the lid up and take off the top layer of parchment lay your design down(design facing toward fabric) and place parchment paper over put lid down and press for 25 to 30 seconds
then remove lid, and parchment the pull the design off(from the left hand corner slowly to the right)
now turn off your press(only if pressing one shirt) take tshirt and hang over a chair, design facing the chair to cool
