I am centering a 3 inch logo i5 4 1/2 from the center line on a left chest on a size large shirt. For a x-large or 2xl shirt, do I use the same location. Also on the back of the shirt i am putting a 10 by 12 logo 4 inches down from the top of a large shirt. Do I move it for the larger shirts. I hope this makes sense.

thanks

About 5 inches down from the neck trim would be the normal placement for the back of the shirt.

Get yourself an Embroiderers Buddy.... it's a ruler of sorts, in a backwards L shape, marked to guide over-heart placement on shirts....there are marks for nearly every size. Makes placement much easier.

The thing to watch for when you're placing over-heart is that you don't necessarily center between the center of the shirt and the sleeve....that may place the logo too close to the sleeve. Try on a shirt, and pin a piece of paper to the over-heart position....take it off, and you'll see what I mean....it's probably closer to the center of the shirt, than the sleeve.

Do I move it for the larger shirts.

Everyone does things different    We use a simple way to get the logo placed right:

The side of the collar is where the center of the logo should be.  This works out great since, as the shirt sizes get larger, the size of the neck opening gets larger too.  It takes all the thinking and measurement out of doing the work.

So find the edge of the collar, center the logo on the collar edge and then lower the logo to the right spot.

Hope I described it well enough

Yipes.. did you forget who owns this forum and who invented the Logo It.. Daaa.. LOL... LOL And proworld sells them as well.

We line up the first one on a size by eyeballing what looks good, put the logoit on and mark the logoit with tape. then each shirt of that size gets the same placement.

The important part is you helped. And for that I am grateful.

That's great info. But I was wondering will the Logo It work for every size? I have a few orders for 4XL T-shirts (these things are freekin' huge). Going directly down from the neck edge, would that put it too close to center? And how would you measure for zip up hoodies (the neck on them gets really small when zipped? Sorry New at this.

Me too. I'll pin a cut out on the shirt and hang it on the wall just to verify. Then I mark the LogoIt and proceed. Next size I just repeat the previous.

Every other method described in the post works equally as well I am sure. It is fun to see how other folks do something, a good way to modify your own procedure.

I never once thought of tape on the logo it,, thanks guys

I love the tape idea on the Logo It. 
I take each size I will be working with and tape the logo where I think it looks best, then I place the Logo It on the garment and make notes on the a sheet of paper of the location (Example: Large T-Shirt logo left edge on 4 1/2" line with bottom of logo on the 6" line down). Then I keep this sheet of notes with a copy of the customers order sheet so that if they reorder some shirts all I have to do is refer to my placement notes and press the shirts.

Glad you guys like my little tool. It took me 5 versions before I finally came up with this one. As of this week I have sold over 3000. Good info here.

I just want to thank Lou for inventing (2) great tools. I did 60 t-shirts, sweatshirts, and hats this weekend and without the T-square and Logo It tools the job would have been more painfull than it was.

This was all cut and pressed vinyl so I think next time on a job of this size I'll go with plastrol transfers...that's what my wife...the weeder says
