Apart from getting sales

I actually really love weeding!

I hate trying to get the print straight on the tshirt.

I've had a few that I've had to just bin cos it was slightly off centre or crooked. I'm not a massive fan of printing invoices etc either. But for some reason the whole process is still fun.

I love it when I see the smile coming from a satisfied customer, who had his/her own design printed to a shirt for the first time.

I love being part of getting peoples dreams off the ground and seeing their business grow, partly due to our efforts

Hand painting film: it's something I mostly hate doing with a fiery passion, but occasionally everything comes together in a way that I'm proud of and I love every minute of this insanely tedious task.

Love: putting together a finished product range. Love love love doing all the little finishing touches.

Hate: conflict. Hate hate hate disappointment. Sometimes it's not your fault (or it is), but it's a kick in the guts either way.

Something online sellers miss out on is the happy customer smiley face. Never really thought about that before.

Seeing my work around town on someone's back makes me feel warm and fuzzy. Receiving a customer's "art" in a Word document, however, does not make me feel warm and cozy.

I love the creation process. Making the design on the computer then actually printing them and see the final product...and of yeah the sales.

The Love.

1. The smile on a customer's face seeing their item.

2. A really nice email with pictures showing everyone wearing your item.

3. Looking at the finished product, when it looks so great you wonder how you did it, or if you really did. (hope you know what I mean)

4. When someone pays you and is just so happy giving you the money.

The Hate

1. Going crazy to make a deadline, fitting the job in, and the customer waits a week before picking the order up.

2. Making mistakes, of any kind.

The good far outweighs the hate.

Yep, plus one on Bob's! I hate it when I or my people makes mistakes. Like yesterday, we have to replace 100 polo shirts because of wrong embroidery placement,

For me atleast, I hate getting the word out there about my shop. It's really difficult.

I love making shirts, though. It's my creative outlet.

inquisitive1 · June 23rd, 2009

I love the opportunity to be in charge of my creativity. I love wearing something that I designed myself, to my own liking

But I hate centering the design on the shirt although I am getting a lot better.

There will always be crooked prints...just pitch it and forget it. I had a customer who designed a one color logo for their garage band...he actually jumped up and down when he saw it printed on the tees...cool.

I hate ordering apparel...starting to do it more online now though.

I love being in my work room with the music blaring just mindlessly printing...then about 75 shirts into and order panic because I think I misspelled something

.

I hate huge orders because i eventually hate looking at the same design.

Love delivering shirts and seeing the happy faces.

Love the look on the customers faces when you deliver more than they expected. Hate the ones that can't make up their minds.

Ahhhh, the Loves of garment decorating!
I love walking around town and seeing the all the stuff I made on people. I love the smell of a heat press in the morning, the hmmm of good old Bertha sewing away (that's my Barudan embroidery machine). Of course making a quality product that makes my customers happy as can be is the lasting love...
The hates... well it would have to be 18 to 45 seconds between prints or transfer etc... longest seconds in life ever...Geez just enough time to get bored and not quite enough time to get anything really done, depending on press times etc. Another hate is damn telemarketers that call and slow production, hate that for sure.
Last and not least is my love and hate relationship with BEEPING. Man does everything have to beep? I love the fact it means another item is made and ready to sell, that means money but how many beeps can one hear a day? I suppose I hope alot of them.
Overall I do love my job, it fits me to a Tee....!
