Is it possible to use iron-on transfer paper on polo shirts? I want to use my printer and transfer paper to do the transfer. I know I could do that on T shirts but what about polo jersey shirts?
Thanks.

I'm not sure I understand. A "Polo shirt" is a *style* of knit shirt, with a front placket and collar,
If so, I think it might be a problem, as the transfer might not stick to all the little divots in a pique knit. If you have extra fabric you might be able to do a test. If I have misunderstood your question, sorry!

collar,
This is the shirt.
Unfortunately, that description doesn't help much: "Warmer days mean shorter sleeves and this classic polo is just right for school. The stretch cotton-poly blend is both durable and comfortable, so it's no problem for her to study hard and play hard. Subtly sweet, a picot-trim collar gives it a feminine edge."
Do you have one of the shirts yet? "...stretch cotton-poly blend..." doesn't tell me much. Is the body of the shirt of a smooth knit, like a T-shirt? If so, I suppose the iron-on transfer might work. If the *body* is a picot-knit, I'd guess not.

I meant to write "pique-knit" not "picot-knit". :-(

Thanks for the tip. I haven't bought it yet. I'll check it out in person and buy based on what you said.
You're welcome, and good luck. One way to establish the difference between plain-knit (like T-shirts) and pique-knit (like most polos) would be to find a knowledgeable clerk at a fabric store and have him/her show you examples. Good luck finding said "knowledgeable clerk", though.
