I know some say dark transfers, but can't find clear ones for use on dark. Will these not work on a darker t-shirt like cinammon red?

I just did a whole bunch of practice transfers on a dark orange shirt and I don't think it's a good idea to print light colors on a dark shirt. Since the transfer material is in essence "clear" putting colored printer ink on top of a colored shirt is like mixing paint. If you put a yellow on a red, it will look orange (yellow + red = orange). Once I ruined my original shirt, I then printed up a bunch of colors in a spectrum (all shades from light to dark). The light colors looked much darker when ironed onto the shirt. No light color still looked light when combined with the shirt. The only color I found acceptable was navy blue. And I actually picked a lighter shade of blue to make it appear navy on the shirt and not black. But blue is complementary with orange. Dark blue would probably look nice on red too, but if you choose a light enough blue so that it still looks blue (and not black) it might print out kind've purply. If you only have one shirt (now I pick up test shirts from Hobby Lobby for under $3), then find a spectrum of the color you wish to use, crop it to just be one long strip, and iron it on to inside of your shirt along the back hem. You will see exactly what the different colors look like and you can choose the right shade. I am so glad I did this with my orange shirts, because I was able to pick the exact shade of blue to make navy blue (when mixed with orange). Good luck!

Does the unprinted white portion of the paper print? I am using a black design on a colored shirt, so I do not want a white border around it.

No, the paper is clear. You can see it (it's kind of shiny) but no white. I ironed on striped fabric and you could see the stripes under the design. I kind of liked it for what I did, but probably good to know ahead of time.

Can you quilt over the imae or will it destroy it

Yes, you can. I machine quilt over all mine.
