VinylRevamp 93 Posted May 15, 2015 Hey guys/girls I've never heat pressed a shirt like this. How many inches from the top would you say I should go down to place the design. Would it be the same as a regular tshirt? Thanks Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sue2 920 Posted May 15, 2015 A lot depends on how big the design is..... there's not a lot of territory there to cover. Sue2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted May 15, 2015 I'd prefer to measure if person you know for accuracy and all. Truth is with womens shirts the only way to get it really right is to measure the person because of how much bust size moves the print location. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wildgoose 4,200 Posted May 15, 2015 You guys crack me up! I think the standard is somewhere around 3" down from the collar but like was mentioned it varies a lot depending on the shirt. I thing the 3" rule of thumb is for standard collars too. V necks are completely different. I usually have my wife throw one on so I can measure it (and cop a feel) 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pshawny 410 Posted May 15, 2015 2 handfuls down from the collar 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

djque 246 Posted May 15, 2015 I would go the 3" down depending on the artwork. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VinylRevamp 93 Posted May 15, 2015 1 set of the shirts will be 1 line text and another set of the shirts will be a graphic image about 7in in height Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
djque 246 Posted May 15, 2015 1 Line I would go right where the armpit ends so above the breast chicken lol. the other I would go 3" from collar. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When I start, that will be my baseline and then lower it if I want to. For a one line of text, few videos said to put them between the n*$&les. I think that's why Jay wants to measure so badly Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dirtrocker 60 Posted May 16, 2015 Yes, you need to wet it to see if the image is going to hold without washing it out. Am I right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jaybyrd 3,770 Posted May 16, 2015 Shirts lay differently wet so always good to check. Better safe than sorry Starting to realize why I don't get many calls for ladies shirts lol. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
