I just bought some Avery t-shirt transfers, because I am putting pictures on the t-shirts. I am really lost?

Question

I take the transfer and run it through the printer, I am supposed to be able to take the transfer and put it on a white t-shirt and everything is supposed to come out really nice on the t-shirt, right?
wrong! The transfer sticks to the t-shirt and I have to peel it off. I have no idea what I am doing wrong. I try to understand the directions, but I am dslyxic (wrong spelling). Is there anyone that knows about taking the transfers and ironing them on t-shirts?

Answer 1

Put a piece of cardboard inside the shirt so the front is nice and flat. Put the transfer on the shirt so the sticky side is toward the shirt, and the tissue paper is toward you. Set the iron to as hot as it will go, and iron in circles all over the transfer. Grab a corner of the transfer paper and start pulling it up as you iron just ahead of where you're pulling. Ta da!
