Iron-on help!

Last week I ironed on some letters on a ribbed tank top for a game I was going to, it turned out great until I actually put the shirt on. Once I put the tank on, the letters started to stretch and some even started to seperate.

I bought another ribbed tank, but how can I avoid this from happening again?

TIA

Re: Iron-on help!

  • I would try a non-ribbed tank.  The commercially made ones are likely screen printed rather than ironed on, so they don't crack.  Iron-ons work better on non-ribbed/textured fabric.
  • If you are dead set on using a ribbed tank, I would suggest stretching it a bit to form when you iron.

    *But I think your best bet for success is to use a non ribbed shirt!

    Good Luck! =)
