Need some serious help with iron-ons

So, my last batch of iron-on transfers on t-shirts was totally chewed up in the washer. Will simply turning them inside out in the wash (like the directions said, but I forgot to do) really solve this?
Your input, please.
Also any ideas what I can do with two crumbly pictures of Alice Cooper and a ball of yarn.
Sigh. It's a sad life.

 

It does help to turn them inside out. Keeps them from being rubbed against everything else in the wash. Especially the agitator, which eats clothes.

For my really delicate shirts, I also put them in a mesh bag before washing. You can get them at most dollar stores.

You could use the pictures anyway and make them look intentional with some fabric paint or buttons...give them a deconstructed look.

 

Thanks, MK, I'll give it another go. That mesh bag sounds like just what I need.

Teehee... love the sig!

Sir Lancelot: We were in the nick of time. You were in great peril.
Sir Galahad: I don't think I was.
Sir Lancelot: Yes, you were. You were in terrible peril.
Sir Galahad: Look, let me go back in there and face the peril.
Sir Lancelot: No, it's too perilous.
Sir Galahad: Look, it's my duty as a knight to sample as much peril as I can.
Sir Lancelot: No, we've got to find the Holy Grail. Come on.
Sir Galahad: Oh, let me have just a little bit of peril?
Sir Lancelot: No. It's unhealthy.
Sir Galahad: I bet you're gay.
Sir Lancelot: Am not.
