How to Sublimate the Front & Back of a T-Shirt Including the Sleeves.

[@wecraftnz]

Thank you again Emma. Ill be sure to mention you as a one of a few who helped my small business grow. I'm probably the only Kiwi doing this in my country and my work is slowly getting recognised. Thank you for your tips, tricks and funny videos. You're a joy to watch. Keep up with the fun video tutorials.

[@EmmasCottage]

I’m happy to help! I look forward to seeing your success!

[@trishfrench1927]

I hope that your business has grown by leaps and bounds!

[@heather.roberts]

Thank you so much for using my design on the shirt!!!! Absolutely LOVE IT!!!!

[@EmmasCottage]

Glad you like it! Such a cute image!

[@susanschmitz5871]

And, my daughter and I both love how down to earth and genuine you are!

[@EmmasCottage]

Thank you, I try to show that I am human too and I make mistakes. If I edit those out, everything will look too easy.

[@amberpedersen]

I love how you explain to us how to retrieve this look!! I got to give credit where credit is due.... for other then helping others. I noticed this video was about 42 minutes, and that's with speeding it up! Moral of what I'm trying to say is most don't realize how time consuming these are, yet most people don't understand why $20-25" is "too much" 🤦‍♀️

[@EmmasCottage]

Totally agree, the amount of time these take warrants asking for more money.

[@SharoninKentucky]

Love this shirt something different, been looking for a way to make t- shirt.

[@EmmasCottage]

Thank you!

[@ReneeHarris2018]

I feel bad about using the papers only once so I save mine to put under stuff while I'm bleaching or spraying paint

[@EmmasCottage]

Me too! Reuse and recycle!

[@mommaof3ree378]

I'm so glad you leave the mistakes in, so we can see first hand what you mean

[@EmmasCottage]

I'm so happy it helps! Thanks for watching!

[@trishfrench1927]

Emma, once again, thank you thank you thank you for another wonderful video. I love to use Word as well. I was at a loss on how to make my prints bigger than Cricut would allow (maybe the day we are all waiting for will arrive when Cricut listens to us and will allow us bigger than 6.75x9.25. I think they are doing it on purpose to hold us hostage, but they are only driving us away. I also love to use Silhouette Studio Business). Becky from Design Bundles has a great video on how to save your Print then Cut images to PDF and then slide them into Word.

Love it!!😊 again I say….. Thank you Thank you for you sharing I so so appreciate you!! I’m telling you… I Learn so much from you! And I love that You shared your little mistakes on camera and showed us and you didn’t edit it out, this was great!

[@EmmasCottage]

Thank you so much Kimberly! I truly want to show everyone that I am human too. We all make silly mistakes if I edit those out, I would look super human and that’s just not me.

[@jackiebrannon1978]

I love it and I completely adore all of the fall colors Bella canvas has. I think sometimes the muted look is needed.

[@EmmasCottage]

Totally agree. Thanks for watching!

Love the video! Thanks for your frankness with all the info. Will you please do a video on Wonder Subli? I'm so confused on whether to try DTF paper & DTF Powder or a product like wonder subli.....

[@joannerogers7396]

This shirt turned out awesome. I’m going to try this out for myself.. with the sleeves you have to cut 2 image up for the back and 2 image down for the front.

[@EmmasCottage]

Correct. I was totally overthinking something so simple. Good thing I can laugh at myself. LOL

[@joannerogers7396]

@@EmmasCottage i have done the same thing lots of times. 😁

[@vcrushing]

Place your two sheets of paper together like fabric , blank sides together & then cut your pattern , then your sleeve design will be correct . Use pins to hold in place if needed.

[@EmmasCottage]

Thanks Yolanda!

[@korynebaehrmartin5379]

Love this project, love your tips and love your videos! Thank you! My question is the paper you cut away for bottom of shirt could've been your seam sub? That could work right?

[@EmmasCottage]

Yes you can!

[@marydennis1672]

Super cute!

[@EmmasCottage]

Thanks so much!

[@kristy137]

So I just bought a cricut air 2, an HP deskjet printer and an industrial sized heat press. Haven't looked into it yet, can I do sublimation? Or do I have to have a certain type of printer? I would love to have this print on a tshirt! Help! Thanks 😊 @emma

[@EmmasCottage]

If you're going to convert a printer it needs to be and inkjet. I have the Epson 2760 and Epson 15000 both with special sublimation ink in them. Your heat press should work great, you don't need a cricut for sublimation but they are lots of fun for HTV and adhesive vinyl!

[@garylock4522]

Just remember right sides together like fabric and it will always come out right

[@EmmasCottage]

Thanks for the reminder!

[@Linda-ib2yz]

Can you guide me towards good long sleeve shirts to use for sublimation and bleach please.

[@EmmasCottage]

Almost everything I have found was 50% poly / 50% cotton. I've hear that Walmart has some higher polyester count long sleeve right now. There was a post recently in our facebook group where some links were shared. Feel free to join our group if you haven't done so already. You can find it by searching Emma's Cottage DIY on facebook

[@mistykesterson4692]

Where do you get bulk T-shirts? The best

[@EmmasCottage]

I like to purchase my shirts from clothingshoponline.com or jiffyshirts.com

[@morganbatey3204]

Can you do this with a sweater too? Since it’s thicker

[@EmmasCottage]

Yes, just pay attention to the Polyester count, the higher the more vivid the image will be.

[@rubyann4968]

Hi!! When using a ready to press sublimated transfer image onto a 65% polyester shirt, how do you heat press image onto shirt without leaving a ring of the cut out image on the shirt?

[@EmmasCottage]

You can rip the paper around the image, this helps soften the edges so that you don't have the outline of the page on your shirt.

[@kukync]

It's so cute! Thank you for sharing! 🥰

You are welcome! Thank you for watching!

[@lindamotley6217]

Thank you for the info, loved the shirt!!!!!!

[@EmmasCottage]

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@kellymanas6133]

What about using the pieces you cut off to extend the sides?

[@EmmasCottage]

Yes, I’m sure you could do that! The print is busy enough you probably wouldn’t notice it’s a separate piece.

[@BeingBrandy]

Hi Emma! When sublimating sleeves, I keep getting a white line just after the seam. Any tips?

[@EmmasCottage]

Try using a pressing pillow, I have found that helps!

[@Inflateyourwealth]

Hi Emma! I am beginner. I am practicing bleaching t-shirts and following your instructions, but I do not get that white color bleaching effect as I saw in your videos. Please advise. Thank you for inspiring us.

[@EmmasCottage]

Do you mean yours don't get as white? I just let mine sit in the sun until they are the white I want them. Some process quicker/slower than others do.

[@gkmarchant]

Hi Emma! Thank you for sharing your favorites product list! Would you mind replying with the size you chose for your heat press magnets? Your Amazon link gives 2 options. Thank you so much!

[@EmmasCottage]

Yes of course! I beleive I bought the 18 mm (.709 inch). I hope this helps.

[@gkmarchant]

@@EmmasCottage thank you, again!

[@iMichellet7]

How much would you sale this for? Knowing all the items you used and cost?

[@EmmasCottage]

I would say a minimum of $25-$28

[@mblackwood7447]

Nice . Where did you purchase the cover for heat press and how is that attached.

[@EmmasCottage]

I bought mine in a package of three on Amazon, then I use magnets to hold it up. Here is what I have. These are my affiliate links, by using them you help support this channel. Magnets = amzn.to/2WSAdAT Teflon Sheets = amzn.to/37qI4aU

[@eileenmuccillo8047]

I finally saw someone doing what I am dying to do! It’s the print I’m talking about. I have an image snd want it to fill a 13x19 paper. If I fill it the image gets huge. How did you keep the leopard shaped pumpkins small and still fill the page? I watched you but it was too fast lol. What I did was duplicate my image over and over to fill my page then print from silhouette as that’s all I know how to use. But no matter what I do it still prints small and the rest of the page is wasted

[@eileenmuccillo8047]

I’m on a MacBook if that helps. Thanks

[@EmmasCottage]

Go to 06:10 I show you how you need to move your image behind the text, you can then grab a corner and resize your image, then duplicate it. I do not have a mac, so your options may be different than mine.

[@user-vx6tc8mv9y]

Would it be good to put 2 pieces of the printed paper together (ink facing each other) then you can cut back and front of one sleeve each at same time?

[@EmmasCottage]

That's a great idea!

[@mrcox429]

I know you was using an Epson 2760, did you upgrade sublimation printer? If so, what do you use to print 13x19?

[@EmmasCottage]

I also have an Epson 15000 that I placed Sublimation Ink into it. Here is that tutorial? kzbin.info/www/bejne/jXq8n6ughpureJo

[@thesoutherncamellia7411]

Where do you find your blanks for sublimation with all the current shortages?

[@EmmasCottage]

I watch the sites like a hawk, multiple times a day! Many were purchased before the shortage.

[@reneepaiz9574]

Great Job...art takes time😁

[@EmmasCottage]

Thanks so much!

[@rhondacates1304]

Sometimes when I do both sides, the first side that was pressed with sublimination blurs when I heat the back. What is the trick to keep it from blurring?

[@EmmasCottage]

I have not experienced blurring when I’ve pressed mine. Maybe try a few more pieces of butcher paper in between.

[@bgwylie]

That is a beautiful shirt.

[@EmmasCottage]

Thank you! I was skeptical at first but it grew on me and now I love it!

[@maleanawilkins442]

[@bonitajohnson4720]

Can you do sublimation on cotton shirts ?

[@EmmasCottage]

Sublimation is meant for polyester substrates. You can sublimate on Cotton but you’ll need a booster such as WanderSubli.

Hi Emma! Do you happen to know what brand of hoodies work best with bleached sublimation?

[@EmmasCottage]

I’ve only done sweatshirts so far, no hoodies yet. But I hear Gildens work. Join our Facebook group and ask, I’m sure someone will tell you what has worked for them.

[@lisawhite9725]

@@EmmasCottage thank you! Unfortunately I don’t do Facebook…only KZbin. The regular sweatshirts, did you bleach and sublimate on those? If so what brand did you use? Or did you only sublimate on them?

[@EmmasCottage]

@@lisawhite9725 yes I bleached and sublimated. They are only 50% polyester so they are not very vibrant. I got the Gilden brand.

Heat Resistant Tape.

Hello! Not sure if you can help me…. I’m new to sublimation, I’ve owned everything for a few months but I’m struggling with printing,I can’t find a site to use properly.

I’m ready to give up before I get started 😭. Any tips you can share?!? I guess my biggest problem is I’m middle-aged and not great with computers LOL
