Ok! This is a reflection post. This was my first big order back in 2019. When I tell you I thought I was the s*** getting this big order for this school; you couldn’t tell
me NOTHING! Me and the Cricut Maker 2 & Design Space was we getting down! Me, the cutting mats, weeding tool, and garbage can were best friends. Oh and don’t forget my already bestie Mr. Heat Press going up and down THREE TIMES PER SHIRT.
You see, I’m transparent. Let me run down all the things I THOUGHT was correct:
•Placement- I guess I put the design wherever I thought it should go
• Layer HTV on top of HTV with no dead space.
•Sizing…I know you see those words almost under the armpit
My point is, here I am 7 years later and know better! I know all about tips and tricks for placement. I know all about sizing designs appropriately for the correct size shirt. Lastly, I know that ready to press DTF transfers and rhinestone transfers will save you money (because all this vinyl costed me $100’s), efforts, and time- time under that heat press, time from weeding, and time to start, grow, and scale the business.
If you are READY to save time, money, and either start scale or grow your custom apparel business or crafting passion, comment RHINESTONES for a freebie!
We all have/ had to start somewhere!
