I want to make shirts with phrases and pics but I am NOT happy with the iron on transfers from walmart ( avery)
What is the best way to make shirts cool? I need help!

I'm not too crafty (well, I have lots of ideas just no follow through

)

I

over many of the dyed garments here. I also have done some appliqué, but need to spend some time with the machine.

My possibly simple and quick fix would be iron on images. But not the store bought ones, I'd do it my self. They sell the paper you print on and transfer the print onto a quilt or garment. Maybe find some high quality images online that you like and go for it, embellish with a bit of fabric paint.
