Skill Level: Beginner
Tools & Supplies to Make It:
- MySawgrass+ Membership
- Sawgrass SG500 or SG1000 Printer
- Sawgrass Sublijet UHD Inks
- TruePix paper
- Flat Press
- 8.5”x11” or larger sublimation paper
- Pink Glitter Stocking
- Heat Tape
How to Create It:
- Log into MySawgrass and from the Landing Page choose Design.
- For your product, select the Pink Glitter Stocking by opening the Holiday category or using the search bar.
- Once the design tool opens, you can add your design.
- Open the DESIGNS panel of the design tool and select the Candy_Cane_Heart Monogram design. You can find the design in the Candy Cane Lane category or by searching directly using the search bar.
- Size the monogram to fit the stocking – approximately 6.137” x 5.383”
- Customize the initial by clicking the text field and editing using the text panel.
- When your design is finished, hit the Print button and then on the Print Screen click on Print File.
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 Sawgrass Print Utility, start by scrolling down and making sure your print orientation is set to Landscape.
- For this project, you can use the preset for Polyester T-shirt.
- Make sure that the media size and type match what you have in the printer. 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 on your press on and set the temperature to 355F degrees
- Place the stocking face-down on the paper and secure it with heat-resistant tape.
- Make sure you lay the stocking on the heat press flat.
- Press the stocking for 60 seconds at medium pressure
- When finished, remove the stocking.
Tips & Tricks:
- Because of the seams on the edges of the stocking, a pressing pillow inserted inside gives you a flatter surface and a better press
- When a product has material of a different texture, or zippers, position the product so those are outside of the press if possible to prevent damage.
