Heat tape sorted. Thanks to everyone for trying to help. I am sure over the next few days there will be much hair pulling and forum searches as I set up and try my new toys.
Many thanks
Iain

I done my first shirt. with heat tape to make sure image wasn't going to move and ghost the print...well. heat tape left a mark on shirt. not a biggie. i just designed rest of shirt with cuts and all..was my first was a trial ..but how do I prevent it in the future. My press is not that big ...so it was recommended to tape it down with heat tape to prevent it from shifting when i move shirt

I'm sure others will have better tips especially as we do not do clothing but I believe you can get specialist adhesive spray to hold artwork in place as opposed to tape for exactly this reason.

Yes I use adhesive spray it’s scotchweld 75 works a treat.
