Despite that, it's amazing how often I hold my hand up to a shirt someone else printed and it's four fingers from the collar. 1cm is a big looking difference in hand width, but not in print placement.

Hi Doris,

As always there can be several factors to consider, is it going on the front or the back? The size of the design, is it a single row of letters or a full page image? The size of the shirt, usually with small shirts they will be placed a little closer to the collar, extra large and up shirts, a little lower. The important thing to remember is, if you have a run of shirts is to keep them all uniform.

There are many aids available to assist you in the placement of your transfer, from your fingers, a simple ruler, clear templates with lines on them that you can get at a craft stores. One of our members (badalou) has designed a T Square that works very well www.teesquareit.com . I have all of these items and they have been most helpful in achieving proper alignment of the image on the shirt.

Ah, back to that finger thing, I use 3 or 4 depending on the above factors.

Good luck on your T-shirts.

Bill M
