It appears the picture did not load, sorry, I will try and add it.

The holes in this type of jersey are larger than the material. Meaning, the hole is approx 1/4" and the material around it is approx 1/8". This is not the typical type of jersey with the small holes.

A customer has provided 2 of these jersey that she wants numbers and names on. I am still a bit new to heat transfer and was wondering if this is possible? It just seems the holes in the mesh are to big. Is there a special type of heat material for this type of shirt or does one just avoid these? Any input is appreciated. In case it is hard to tell from the photo, this is a large holed mesh type football jersey.

I tried calling them but got an answering machine. I left a message and some 4 hours later no return phone call. I called US Cutter and they said not to even try it. I

Here is what I have done. I took the blank canvas and painted it a solid color. Then I cut out a saying in vinyl. I then used the outline of the vinyl and applied it to the canvas as a stencil. I then spray painted over my stencil and let dry. I peeled off my stencil and it looks like it was hand painted!! Gives it that hand done look.

I have drawn some circles in corel. When creating them I had a line thickness set at 1.0. After creating my design with these circles I went to cut (in sign blazer) and (well, I didn't really cut, I was using the pen on paper to check my work before cutting) and for every circle it cut and outside line and an inside line. Basically the letter 'O'. Thinking it was my line thickness, I went and changed them to hairline. Sent to cut..... same thing, just a thinner 'O'. I then went back and changed line thickness to none, thinking then I would just get the one cut I was looking for. When I opened it up in sign blazer.... there was no image. I did not try to cut because there was no image. What am I doing wrong? I just want to cut circles not the letter O. Thanks in advance for any help Brian

also, if I were to use real diamonds..... she would just want a bigger football :-)

Ok, that was way to fast and easy. What can you tell me about Sure Cuts a Lot? Is it free? Is it a cutting program or a design/cutting program? What about with an imported clip art? Just as fast? @HiDef, I can't imagine what I would have to charge for that shirt if they were diamonds.....LOL

Here is what came out in the end. It is exactly as the customer requested. (The customer was my wife, she is very happy but I don't think she intends on paying)

Will do, it was a rhinestone pattern of a football. will post a pic of finished product later

Ok, after playing around with some settings (view) and colors, I managed to get some "fill". Went to cut and it looks like what ever I did worked. Thanks to everyone for the help, I think Sue nailed it, or at least in a way I could understand or made sense. :-)

The "cut the fill" makes sense to me (I am new) how can I check that or see to it that is what is to be cut. I only have a line for the circle showing in wireframe view. Do I need to "fill" all the circles then delete the line?

I went to upload the file for you but got a message it was to large :-(

HiDef, thanks for the input. I did not duplicate and then change sizes. I simply drew a circle, duplicated it (it duplicated next to my original)then I blended them along a line. I do appreciate you trying to help but I don't think that is my issue.

That is what I did. then I duplicated the circles.

I am in the middle of a cut on heat transfer (working like a charm) When it is finished I will try and readjust the blade for the regular vinyl (I almost hate to jack with it since it is perfect on the transfer...LOL) and let you know how it goes. I did notice there seems to be a bit more tack when weeding the heat vinyl than the regular vinyl.....

It does appear to be barely sticking out, I have tested it on a piece of scrap vinyl by hand (read that some where) and it cuts the top layer and not the backing (just doing a straight line.) The blade set as is works perfect on my heat transfer vinyl (I have only tried with text on transfer vinyl). Still think it could be to much blade? I will try to expose less blade and see if I can get it to work, it's not cutting through the paper backing so I thought I was good. Thanks for the quick response!!
