Hi,
I am working on a t-shirt design and trying to find the best method to add small text to a t-shirt. Any advise?
Thanks,
nausheen
Nausheen, need a few more details. Tshirt - what material? Are you wanting it to look new or vintage? How many colors? When you say small text, how small?
Could do heat press, dye sub, or screen print at space so these things make a difference. Pros and cons to each.

Hi, the t-shirt is a cotton knit and yes I do want it to look new. It will be all one color - probably black. I will need to fit the following in preferably one line:
“…HISTORY, CURRENT EVENTS, MEDICINE, RELIGION, WARS, OUR FOOD, OUR ENERGY SUPPLY…”
I am familiar with screen print as far as what it looks like but not what the others look like. And I am not familiar with how to go about doing the other methods as well - Are you open to training?
Thank you,
Nausheen Daniel
Since it is cotton the dye sub materials we have won’t work. What we have is only for polyester fabric. There are other papers and polyester powder that can work on cotton, but we don’t stock that at space. For example see: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8NGXtMen2tM
Have done rather intricate lettering using vinyl cutter and screen print before. Can bring up an example to show you. Happy to help.

Yes, I would love to see some examples you have - when do you plan to be at the space next?
I made some shirts last week (with much help from @bitta) with heat transfer vinyl. Came out really nice once we got the settings on the heat press fine tuned

I’m up at the space regularly and when I’m not, I’m close enough that I can be without issue. Let me know when you will be up there and I’ll do my best to accommodate.
