Default Pressing Long Sleeve Tees

I just got an order for some text to be pressed down a long-sleeve tee and I was wondering if any of you have any tips for alignment or placement...Thanks

Default Re: Pressing Long Sleeve Tees

I just place the sleeve on the platen and press flat in line with the shoulder. Then I place the text along the upper edge. This seems to be a variable position for my customers.

If you want it centered with the shoulder seam, you can press it flat from there too.

We do a lot of shirts 'on demand' in our booth and I press text, pawprints, and special 'long' designs along the sleeve edge regularly. (Quicker too.)

Good luck!
