Quick Guide: Garment Setup for Heat Pressing

1. Introduction: Learn different methods to position garments for heat pressing, either by placing the garment on top of the press or by inserting it into the machine.

2. Aligning Garments:

   • Ensure seams are straight.
   • Align the top of the garment with the press evenly.
   • Check that sleeves are equal in length and armpit seams are aligned correctly.

3. Measuring Techniques:

   • Use a two-finger method to measure and place parts of the garment consistently, especially for adult large-sized garments.

4. Heat Press Setup:

   • Set up the heat press by positioning the garment carefully to avoid issues from press ridges. Avoid fully laying down the garment until it’s properly aligned.

5. Handling Youth Garments:

   • Address the challenges of smaller, youth-sized garments.
   • Avoid stretching the garment to fit the press. Instead, lay it flat and use the finger technique for even placement.

6. Conclusion: Follow these tips for proper garment preparation, focusing on precise alignment and measurement to achieve high-quality heat pressing results.
