Design shape matters
Two designs with the same width can look completely different. A tall, narrow design may need to be smaller than a wide one; circular, square and oversized designs may need adjustments. Always consider both width and height.
Measuring your garment
Lay it flat
Lay the garment flat and measure the available print area.
Leave room
Keep the design clear of seams and sleeves.
