How to Create It:
For your product, select the Small Waffle Tea Towel. It can be found under Kitchen and Dining.
On the Create Your Design Panel, click on Designs. Click on the filter icon and then select Monograms and click apply.
Choose the Monogram Jar design.
The design should come in at the correct size. If you wanted to make the image smaller, use your mouse and lasso around the elements to group them.
Click on the Monogram Letter and change it to what you need in the text box on the left panel.
When your design is finished, hit the Continue button to move to the product details page.
You’ll be prompted to name your design, put it in a Category folder, and then hit save.
On the Product Detail page, you’ll give the project a name and add a description, then hit print.
How to Print It:
You should get a popup that asks if you want to open Sawgrass Print Utility. You will need to click Open Sawgrass Print Utility. If you are not seeing this, you’ll need to disable your popup blocker.
In the Sawgrass Print Utility, start by scrolling down and making sure your print orientation is set to Portrait.
For this project, you can use the preset Polyester T-Shirts.
Make sure that the media size and type match what you have in the printer. T-shirts are set up for tabloid, but if you want a smaller design, set your paper size and then go to design files and click Fit to Paper Size.
On the Color Management Tab, we suggest having the Color Mode set to Vibrant.
When you’ve confirmed all of your settings, Hit Print.
How to Press It:
Turn your press on and set the temperature to 385 degrees and the time to 45 seconds. Pressure should be medium.
Prepare your tea towel by using a lint roller to remove any fibers or dust.
Place your design face down on the tea towel and tape it down.
Place the towel on the lower platen of the press with the printed page on top.
Place a piece of blowout paper on top.
Close the press and wait 45 seconds before opening the press and removed the tea towel.
Tips & Tricks:
Getting lines on your fabric items? Ripping the edges of paper helps prevent those hard lines.
Typically, you only press onto one panel of a tea towel since it gets folded and hung over a bar. The design is generally on the bottom middle panel.
