So at the show I am busy giving demos when up walks a lady who does Rhinestones. her problem is the sticky back and moving the design around to align it with Tee Square It? OK, I will work on that one. Then a little later this guy walks up to me and has the same problem only it is sticky back apparel vinyl. Ok, I will work on that. BINGO, problem solved! But you will have to wait because my grandson is going to help me do several videos on Wed. This is an easy one and it is free. Lou

Thanks Lou!

Here's my idea for your t-square it-next generation (U Square It):  long fixed arm (long enough to measure from armpit to armpit, even on big boy shirts) with 2 sliding arms.  Long arm measures "0" in the middle and out to each side from there.  The sliding arms measure "0" at the fixed arm and up from there.  I use this method sometimes - utilizing a steel yard stick and 2 clear rulers.  Seems to work well.

And now I'm off to order another big pad.  I think I saw somewhere that they are teflon coated now?  My current big pad is quite colorful from many oops sublimation jobs.    Wink

Free is great! but if it works then it doesn't matter. that is the reason I don't use the tool much. I just eyeball it. Hopefully it is soon as I have a 10 shirt order with chest logos to do in the next couple days.

Thanks for the info. But I finished. If I design anything else that requires time to put together my wife will leave me. LOL

Here is the video for aligning sticky back applications. Let me know what you think.

Great job, Lou.  This is exactly what I ran into with my brand new TSI when I did a vinyl job a week ago.  This will make life much easier.  Thank you!
