LEARN TO MAKE CUSTOM T-SHIRTS WITH HEAT TRANSFER VINYL, STEP BY STEP

Heat Transfer Vinyl T-Shirts, Step by Step is a plain-language guide to cutting, weeding, pressing, and selling custom shirts. No jargon. No guessing. Just the steps, in the order you do them.

I wrote it from my own shirt business. In my first year I had $24,000 in gross sales on Etsy and another $10,000 on my own website, all from vinyl on t-shirts, tote bags, sweatshirts, and baby onesies, while working a full-time job. (Gross sales means total sales before costs. Your results will depend on your designs, time, and what you sell.)

WHAT YOU WILL BE ABLE TO DO
– Pick the right vinyl and the right shirt for the job
– Design, cut, and weed a clean design
– Place it in the right spot and press it so it sticks
– Fix common problems like lifting edges, scorching, and backwards designs
– Care for your shirts so they last through the wash
– Layer two colors, and use specialty vinyl
– Price your shirts and sell them for a profit
