iron on transfer

I'm not sure I understand. A "Polo shirt" is a *style* of knit shirt, with a front placket and collar,

should have no influence on whether or not an iron-on transfer will work as long as the knit is similar to T-shirt knit. But perhaps you really mean "will a pique knit" take a transfer, as many polo-type shirts are made of pique knit? Pique knit: A knitting method that creates a fine textured surface that appears similar to a birdsnest or waffle weave.

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!

This is the shirt.

don't apologize. I'm very new to fabric/sewing terminology. Thanks.

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.
