This is one of the most special projects I have made ❤️ A dear friend asked me to screen print on her late husband’s handkerchiefs. She wanted to gift one to each of their grandchildren.⁠
⁠
Talk about pressure not to mess up!! These were so special and irreplaceable! I used my screen print press to ensure perfect placement of the monogram on each handkerchief. ⁠
⁠
Because they were so thin and soft, screen printing was the way to go. The @speedball_art fabric ink soaked into the fibers leaving a soft feel.⁠
⁠
Thank you, Kim, for trusting me with this project ❤️❤️❤️⁠

I bought this IKEA pillowcase probably 2+ years ago and FINALLY did the project I had in mind for it! These pillow cases are great for screen printing but I have learned a few tricks to getting a perfect print.⁠
⁠
⭕️ Line up your screen before putting the painter’s tape on the screen. This makes it easier to see that your design is centered.⁠
❌ Don’t use the 10x14 frame for this. The full 12x12 sheet of vinyl fits better on this 16x20 size frame.⁠
⭕️ Instead of using a large squeegee, I printed each XO individually with a small squeegee. This made it easier to get even pressure on each letter.⁠
❌ Don’t squeegee over the pillow seams. When your squeegee hits these bumps, it can cause your ink to bleed. ⁠

Did you notice my trick for lining up the screen? Before adding the painter’s tape I was able to see through the screen to figure out my placement. I used dot stickers to mark the top corners, making it easy to line up the screen each time. ⁠

Confession time... what is still in the package?⁠
⁠
For me, it's the Cricut foil transfer tool. I just haven't gotten into paper crafts like I thought I would 🙃⁠
