How to Create It:
Log into MySawgrass and from the Landing Page choose Design.
From the Product Menu, choose and open “Custom Canvas” and click on the “Die cut shapes” Icon then select the circle.
Input your measurements in the correct units and then select “Design Your Canvas.”
Go to “Designs” and filter to “Halloween.”
Scroll until you find the “Cutest Pumpkin in the Patch” design.
Select the text and delete, repeat for each word.
Select and delete the greenery layer.
Click and drag to select the pumpkin and face later. Resize to your patch. You can also resize one layer at a time. Select “layers” on the right side to expose different layers.
Normally, we would suggest adding a background color. Since this is sequins, it is fine to leave the background white to emphasize the design.
Once you are done, choose “CONTINUE” from the top right panel.
Give your design a name and add it to a category and click “Save.”
Here, you can choose to add a description about your design or product and add it to your MySawgrass store or continue to print.
How To Print It:
Click on the “Print” Icon at the top right which will open the Sawgrass Print Utility.
The printer should be set on the Sawgrass SG 1000.
Select the preset for “Metal.”
Paper size “US Letter,”
Keep the Print Orientation to “Portrait.”
Under the Color Management tab, select “Vibrant” for the Color Mode.
Click Print.
How to Press It:
Turn on and set your heat press to 400F and your time to 45 Seconds.
Make sure that all sequins have the white side up.
If there are fingerprints on the sequins, you can wipe those away with a lint free cloth and alcohol.
Remove the backing from the patch and adhere to your garment.
Place your design face down and center on the patch, tape down the printed design with heat tape.
Place the tote on the lower heat plate and cover the printed design with blowout paper and press for 45 seconds.
Slowly lift top plate and quickly remove the printed design.
Tips & Tricks:
If adding a name to the tote, make sure to have your custom name already pressed and cooled before sublimating the glitter patch on.
You can find your patch measurements on the packaging.
