This is really inspiring. I really want to start my sticker shop and have a vendor show coming up, but have the worst imposter syndrome right now!

[@Laurenheathco]

Fake it till you make it! I promise you’ll get there! Good luck on your vendor show!

[@McKennaRain]

I'd love to see how you print your heat transfers thats so cool!

[@Laurenheathco]

They are done with a very intense printer, shaker, dryer system. Not super aesthetic 😂

Wordans, and we just started building up our designs over time!

[@pamelasaint804]

What would you advise someone to do if they wanted to start a home business but didn't know where to start?

[@Laurenheathco]

Research research research. Starts looking for ideas and Inspo and researching the platforms to sell on

It was a busy one for sure 😂

[@blueeyedbraniac]

Do yall make your own transfers? Or do you have someone else print them?

[@Laurenheathco]

Hi! We have someone who works for us to make them and we may them ourselves!

[@blueeyedbraniac]

@@Laurenheathco Do you use a DTF printer for the ones you make yourself?

[@shotsandbeerscandleco]

I was just going to ask the same question 😆

[@tinekamackey2056]

So very inspired by your video. The organizer that holds your transfers. Please tell me where you got it

[@Laurenheathco]

Michaels!

[@tinekamackey2056]

@@Laurenheathco thank you!

[@dianeyvon]

Can you share which heat press I should buy that will work best with your transfers? I’m so excited I found you! I have designs and have no interest in getting a printer and want to buy sheets with you that I can press at my studio. I went to your website and saw circuit may not work best (which is what I have) if you have an Amazon link for a heat press I’ll gladly buy from it you ❤

[@Laurenheathco]

Hi! I’d recommend starting with something like this! amzn.to/3V3MsV9

[@dianeyvon]

@@Laurenheathco thank you so much! I’ll be into my studio later today and will order custom transfers with you 💗

[@dianeyvon]

@@Laurenheathco also, if this isn’t an affiliate link, if you want to add it to your Amazon store and share the new link , I’ll buy it when it’s under your link so that you get credit!

[@karlazavada5073]

what do you use to print the dtf sheets do you need a specific machine?

[@Laurenheathco]

Yep! We have a video where we talked about it

[@gabzwilson2750]

Hi how big is the image for the sweat shirts? Will the same size work on tshirts? I want to order some of your transfers!

[@Laurenheathco]

I recommend 8.5” for smalls and mediums and 11” for large and above!

[@nicolenicole9052]

Good mom support 😊🌈

[@Laurenheathco]

She’s the bomb!

[@shauneriver3973]

What do you print your transfer on? and what kind of printer?

[@Laurenheathco]

[@elitehuntclub]

Where did you find that document shelf where you're storing your cut transfers!? I've been looking all over the interwebs for something just like that!!

[@Laurenheathco]

[@johnsonjikira]

Hey girl Hey! I love your business progress. May I ask how did you decide on which DTF printer to buy? This has been a huge weight on me lately.

[@Laurenheathco]

We have someone who already had one!

[@gabiiiriiivera]

this is all so inspiring! do you print the transfers yourself? is it technically sublimation, or heat transfer vinyl? would love to know more about that process, & your design process as a whole!

[@Laurenheathco]

Yes! It’s a direct to film transfer! So a matte ish film that has the design and then it adheres into the fibers of apparel or other surfaces!

[@gabiiiriiivera]

@@Laurenheathco so cool! thanks for the insight! do you print them yourselves, or get them printed & shipped to you? if you print them yourselves, are you printing on a standard office printer or a fancy printer?

[@Aly.68]

Do you draw all of the designs for ur shirts?

[@Laurenheathco]

Nope! We use a mix!

[@dianeyvon]

It’s so amazing you created a business that your family can be involved in❤❤❤❤

[@Laurenheathco]

Honestly it’s my favorite thing about our business! I love sharing it with my mom and even having everyone else help too!

[@hannahroberts1536]

Hi! I absolutely love your prints on your new shop. Congratulations! I was wondering how much shipping was for (US)

[@Laurenheathco]

$4!! And thank you!

[@Laurenheathco]

Thank youuuuu!

[@Moonstrologytarot]

What size are your dtf transfers?

[@Laurenheathco]

We sell them in multiple sizes

[@lindapuente8629]

Do you offer any watermark free mockups to see clients interest in the item first?

[@Laurenheathco]

Sadly, we cannot, as this would be against the guidelines for the people that we buy our mock ups from as well as the ones we buy our designs from!

[@Laurenheathco]

We do, however, offer of the option of making your own custom transfers. This means that you could find a design that you love and then create a mock up with your design, and we can create the transfers for you!

[@breannafairris4195]

Can you use the print transfers more than once or are they only a one time transfer sheet?

[@Laurenheathco]

They are a one time transfer sheet!

[@Jesusistheonlyway549]

Why do you use PS on your MacBook and not your iMac?

[@Laurenheathco]

Mom is typically using that one for orders!

[@ruthnmike4ever]

What transfer paper do use?

[@Laurenheathco]

We sell DTF transfers!

[@kg811]

What kind of printer do you use for DTF? My ink smears each time.

[@Laurenheathco]

We have an industrial printer. It has to be ventilated and it’s a massive machine

[@kg811]

@@Laurenheathco Oh, I see. Do your transfers come cured too? I may give up and order from you.

[@XOHOLY]

where do you get your sweatshirts from?

[@Laurenheathco]

We used a variety of places, local wholesale tshirt shop, jiffy shirts, ss apparel, etc
