This is so great!! Recently switched from out sourcing my screen printing to DTF transfers in house and lining everything up and not spending 20 minutes getting it close has been so stressful! This should help speed up productivity and get every print done right. Thank you!
Sometimes we miss the trees for the forest-we overthink. I had the "Duh!" Moment right when he said fold short to find center...the rest just made absolute sense. Thank you so much for showing us what we probably had forgotten to try!!👍🏾👍🏾
Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial! Simply folding and ironing the tee-shirt vertically to create a center point was just brilliant. I even took the liberty of folding it horizontally as well, arm pit to arm pit which gave me a midpoint area to work with. My tee-shirt came out A M A Z I N G! This after ruining one tee-shirt from just eyeballing an imaginary center point. New subscriber here!
Done a couple of adult t shirts over the past couple weeks but I've clearly got wonky eyes! Always something lying at an angle. Will take your advice. I used to make curtains in my 20s, I couldn't cut the material straight either lol x thanks x
Thank you so much for this!!! Seriously, I made my first t-shirt last night (that turned out a little uncentered (using a tape measure) & now I'm making one for a customer (my very first t-shirt customer!) so I obviously want it perfect but I was having a really hard time getting it perfectly centered. I think this will work much better for me. I'm going to go try this now. Thank you, thank you, thank you for such a great video. Love the accent, btw!
Thank you for this. Everytime I did one it'd be so off centered I'd have to trash it or use it for cleaning. You give me the confidence to tackle shirts like I always wanted to do & made it so easy to get it straight! :-)
All my shirts have creases running down one side so when I fold them in half, they never align properly. I spend more time ligning up shirts than printing. Sad times...
I've always wonder if you could overlap vinyl......... Definitely Great Help🤝 Your Video Is The First Video I've Actually Seen Someone Show That You Could Overlap Vinyl rather they've thought of it💯 and keeping files of your and customers a great idea and very helpful in the long run
Thank you so much for this I can't tell u the shirts and vinyl I've wasted lol by making crooked shirts HAHA! Is there a way to remove vinyl from a shirt once it's been heat pressed on?
Wow, this is certainly a skill where probably the best thing is practice. Depending on the design this can be very tedious. A big challenge to me looks to be maintaining consistency. Say if you do multiple shirts in varying sizes. How do you ensure the spacing between different pieces is consistent when doing multiple shirts? Is it just kind of eyeballing it? Also, how do you decide how big , lenght & height to make a design? Is there sizes that are considered standards for s,m,l, xl shirts, chest logos, etc? Ill keep practicing but I would not mind investing on some kind of tool for this. Any suggestions?
Hey Martin I want to start this business in my country 🇳🇵 nepal.. I have seen ur all video printing all kind of printing process..m confused now. I just want to start this. Please suggest me from what should i start.???🤔
Thank you ever so much for this information much appreciated just started myself and was wondering how to get the graphics spot on just wondering tho would you be able to use this way with heat transfer inkjet sheets would folding them be ok to line up with the crease of the t shirt :)
When doing a design on multiple sizes of shirts, [4-16 yr polo shirts in my case] would you recommend using the same size graphic or grading the size according to the shirt?
Hi Susan, We always scale the graphic down in the Silhouette Cameo Software by dragging a box around the complete image and holding the little box in the corner and reducing the size to a size we need.
You make it look so easy 😀. I've been wondering whether or not I needed something like a alignment tool...they're not cheap...I think I'll try this method 👌👍. Thanks for sharing x

I am new at this and have ruined several shirts trying to use my tape measure. This is so much better! Thank you so much!
We've all been there Debbie. This is much simpler.
Quick edit while you worked out half of 23.5! I'd have still been working it out half an hour later! Great vid as usual martin

Haha I'ver been there too lol. No more cleaning cloths now.

Great idea! Alignment was always pain in the ass for me. Thanks for tips!!!
Glad it helped.

He said it in the video
Thank for showing me that.

All my spacings are done on the computer.
Is it hard to get rid of that center line afterwards, especially if you plan on selling it, any tips?
No, it comes out in the wash like any other fold line
