Do you think the way you are doing it will provide a better result than a commercial vendor?......

I think this is a bad idea....

Some job opportunities are not worth the $$ and associated headaches. What happens when they come back and say ...we used an iron like you said BLAW BLAW BLAW and they still didn't work.

We get customers all the time who tell us how the home iron gig didn't work.
Hell tell them about http://www.whatdoyudu.com/videos/default.aspx?id=3

Hell no, but the commercial vendors said use a commercial heat press only. I applied my first heat transfer, plastisol, with an iron when I was a kid, before I knew what plastisol was, so I know it can be done. I'll experiment of course. Big disclaimer too if we do it. The other option the customer has is to get embroidered patches that the kids can take home and sew on. Right, that's going to happen, maybe if Grandma does it...

Actually, that other option (the embroidered patches) has possibilities as well. In our area, some of the Little Leagues hand out a patch with the new jersey.
I can't tell you how many crappy installations I saw when my kid was playing, even down to dangerous safety pins (a paradox of sorts).
I now offer to press them along with names.
You could order the patches with adhesive, and then press them as part of the price. Voila! win win!

The thing about the transfers is yes, they can be done at home, but I can assure you that some won't work.
Just, at the very least, as you said you would, spell it out. Forewarned is forearmed (and those four arm shirts are a bitch to find!)  ;D
