If we have to do this then "the secret" is a good old piece of A4 paper and a pencil (and folds in the right place). We start with the crease under the armpit as a point and then fold the paper to give a distance in from this point and a pencil mark or something similar for a point on the paper to where a part of the logo can be referenced. Very basic, but it works :D

The hot peal ones are usually very sticky before you start. If you have the press too hot then you'll leave a glue mark around the edge of the writing!
I have to agree it depends on the flex. I used to use 170 for 15 secs then started to use MDP flex and found 170 to hot. I got glue lines but on a couple i had shrunken vinyl so turneed it down to 150 for 15 secs and excellent results.
