  1. I would bet most people here muddled through the discovery phase much like you are doing now.

    You did good...you got it hooked up,  got it communicating with your computer, got it cutting the test pattern.

    Now you have learned to watch the size of your graphics....yes, sometimes it imports way too big and sometimes too small.

    Except for practice and patience.....you're just about there!

    Sounds like you are wanting to make shirts with HTV.......most important thing to remember:

    MIRROR your text/graphic.  To this day I get so involved with the layout etc............... I forget to mirror! 

    Now, before I push that cut button, I check one last time!

    Good Luck.  Here's a suggestion for your first shirt!  I made one for myself.

  2. Most of us here use a heat press....let me guess what MAY be your problem:

    Did you pre-heat the fabric to draw out moisture and flatten the fabric before laying on the HTV?

    "Household iron" just might be the problem....not hot enough with not enough constant pressure.

    The quality of your HTV could also cause poor results.

  3. Thanks for the suggestions......to conserve time I checked those too and nothing came close enough.

    It's a door logo replacement that measures 27" wide...so I wanted it to match the other doors.

    I already traced it.....wasn't too time consuming.......it just takes patience!

  4. I have a customer who wants to make t-shirts with his business logo for resale in his shop.  He doesn't want to order a large quantity...just replace the shirts as they sell. 

    His logo is full color so I am looking for a recommendation on where to get the full color heat press transfers. 

    Thanks!

  5. Depending on what graphic programs you're using, you need to combine or weld the text before cutting.

    Make a copy first as you usually cannot "unweld".

    AND I usually look at the spacing before I weld the text and adjust any letters that are not spaced well.
