Hi Crystal. Do you have a video on how to not get the hard lines on your clothing when doing sublimation. I have tried so ling to get beyond lines that stay without success.

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

you may have your pressure to high or its your heat press what press are you using

[@TYJ419]

I have taken a piece of parchment or butcher paper larger then the shirt so that none of the edges of the paper are on the shirt. Turn up the pressure a bit on your heat press and press for 15 or 20 seconds and the line will be gone. Do it all the time. Got that tip from Shakeya of YT channel Silaholics Anonymous. Tracey

Soooo, I'm wondering (and maybe my question was answered further in the video than I went or in the comments below), BUT...how in the world did this girl get away with selling 45,000 sweatshirts with not one, but TWELVE trademarked pictures of famous brand jars of 🥒🥒🥒 on them????

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

That's a very good question 🙋‍♀️ I have spoke to a few brands over this same issue over the years and most say its free advertising so they don't care. but when it comes to these pickle brands I'm not sure so I can't speak on there behalf. But it's very true when it comes to trademark it's good to check in before selling them!

[@deeclutter1123]

No way in the world I would take that risk. To each their own, but I know people who were sued and lost everything including their homes. Not worth it to me.

[@rhondalosh8542]

I was wondering the same thing. Also would not take that risk

[@TMarieBJudon]

And how many items sold bearing a trademark brand probably matters as well. Just saying... keep a little reality. Not meaning to be negative or a downer. Just realistic. Great way generate views and to showcase all the awesome tools in one's shop too!🎉😅🎉🎉

I thought same thing. Glad I wasn’t the only one thinking it.

[@emilygraham9008]

Definitely team cat and the Little Debbie tree cakes. Don’t really like pickles, but I know it’s become popular. Question about embroidery, do you have to know how to sew or use a regular sewing machine to use one? I have a Singer that intimidates me so I’m wondering if I could get into embroidery or no.

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

You do not have to know how to sew at you could totally do it! it looks more involved then it is the machine does all the work

[@annahsaclipse]

Hi Crystal!! I have that same auto press and I love it!!! But you can also use the button in the middle with the light on it to open and close the auto press not just the temp and time adjuster.

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

Thanks for the tip 🥳 I had no idea I tried to touch that but I must have pushed the wrong spot so I assumed it didn't have that feature yay!! your the best

[@CedarHillCountryMarket]

the key is to use a Prinful or Printfy or a 3rd party shipping and not carry any inventory... any orders over 50 I'd say link up with them.

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

I would check stock on for example jiffy or clothing shop online it will show how many they have of each! another thing is I wouldn't off but maybe 2 color options or even just 1. but if like you said they are sold out you could let your customers know and see if they are willing to wait for a restock or refund.

[@desireegrose1]

Agreed. Who takes a small business idea that has helped THIS FAMILY and then says -- go sell the exact thing and make her money.

[@YouCanTotallyMakeThat]

The one thing I would say to that is would that be fair to the designer of the designs that are sold on Etsy that only one person is allowed to make money with it the designer would have $2 while the other has millions? I get what your saying for sure its just a part of business there is an entire eco system and just a fun fact she's not the original creator another small creator tiktok is 😉 for example Walmart sells a white coffee mug so does dollar tree target etc. You have to think deeper

[@charleneweege7149]

@@YouCanTotallyMakeThat You are correct but I think that this youtuber should not be involved in it. It's up to people themselves to research and see if they want to do the design. Some Etsy designers sell licenses to people if they sell a certain number of items with their designs on them.
