    " You can make unique T-shirts featuring original illustrations or photographs. This method may not be suitable for mass production, but you can make a limited number of T-shirts for your sports club or other organization. "

    Instructions can be found here

    Run a search for "making iron on transfers". You should find other ways besides this.

    transfer paper can be found in most craft stores.

    Hope this helps.

    When I saw How do you make T's I was going to suggest you put the kettle on. Mine's milk and two sugars

    Software, any reasonable graphics package, and if you can find an image off the internet, mspaint will do the trick, all you need is a reasonable printer and transfer paper

    Staples does Iron on Transfer sheets at $13.97 for 10 HP sheets,

    Office world do 12 sheets for $12.95

    Either way, that means an awful lot of ironing for yourself!! Either that you can hold an ironing party, with a case of beer to the person who irons the most transfers on t's!!

    Just a suggestion for the future, maybe a little more advanced planning ?

    make a t with one line curving downward and another crossing it near the top

    No, but really.
    Have a look at cafepress.com
    They seem to do a good job at reasonably reasonable prices.

    You may want to look into a screen printer
    For example http://ycscreenprinters.com/
    $3.95 each plus $25 screen charge one color.

    Go to Office Depot

    HP and other printer companies sell the kits.

    Also arts & craft stores like Michaels.

    Thanks all for doing your input. Great suggestions. I've been to many web sites and priced some options at various sptes in person. For the record, OfficeDepot only had their own brand of transfer paper - about $23/15, and Staples only had Burlington brand paper which was $14.99/10. Those prices are pretty good compared to the proces I've been getting quoted for name brand stuff online.
    I've passed on the info and will leave it with the roomie.
    She's lurking in here too!
    I'll post back with how it goes.
    Thanks again!
