bubbles under numbers on jersey

[justlaxin1819]

i have a quick question. my coach just told us not to put our jerseys in the dryer and to let them air dry because the numbers are embroiderd (sp). so once i get home i go to tell my mom and she told me that she put them in the dryer. so i go to look at them and the numbers have like air bubbles inder the numbers. does anyone know how to get the bubbles out????

Can you post any pics? There could be a silk screened base under the embroiderie, in which case you could probably literally pop the bubble. But Id really need pics top say for sure.

i dont have a camera so i dont think i can post pictures. its a stx jersrey. my mom said just to press the numbers with a iron so i hope that works.

No, no iron. Just pop them with a really small pin.

When you say embroidered I assume they are tackle twill ( like this? http://bigstick.ca/numbers/sabrecat-numbers.jpg ) . The bubbles cannot go away. It is quite common with tackle twill. Don't sweat it. Do not pop them it will not serve a purpose with tackle twill.

Now if they are iron on heat sealed #'s - no embroidery, then Custom is correct, or you can iron it with a spare tshirt between the iron and #'s. Just be careful.

ok thanks, my mom just pressed it and it looks a little better now

if you heat it up again, sometimes the glue with the tackle twill will lose some tackiness with the wash. basically a sticker getting wet and the glue not being sticky anymore.

heat it up with a iron...using a pillowcase over the jersey and the iron
