About this deal

It's a bit hard to tell, but there is a smooth side and a rough side to the mats. Since I want the "engraved" texture to be on the underside of my ruler, I'll feel for the smooth side and place the smooth side down on my purple StrongGrip Machine Mat and use a brayer to make sure it's fully adhered. The excess will hang off the end but that won't hurt anything. Guides have flexibility with what they wear as uniform. They often agree on their uniform guidelines together with other girls in the unit. What Guides wear Of course, you can always go a bit smaller than this, but this is the typical sizing of shirt decals that we’re all used to seeing. If you go too much smaller, your decal will be hard to see and hard to weed. Place your T-shirt ruler on your vertically creased T-shirt. You don’t want it on the edge of the collar of the t-shirt, but on the seam. Then, place the top of the similarly creased design right at the bottom of the ruler (though sometimes it goes higher or lower, I’ll show you in the video!). This is extra helpful if your design doesn’t have a uniform top edge. You’ll get consistent alignment on multiple shirts using my t-shirt ruler guide collection! An appropriate heat press – I used my EasyPress 2, but you can use another Cricut heat press, or a home iron. Have a towel or pressing mat and a lint roller ready, too.

Remember, place the vinyl against the t-shirt so the shiny carrier sheet is between the design and your EasyPress or iron. Use your EasyPress or iron to put a little crease on the center fold. When you open your shirt you’ll know exactly where the center is. Now you can just line up the center of the ruler with the crease to get perfect placement! A way to cut your T-shirt rulers and vinyl. I used the amazing Cricut Maker 3 but you can also use the original Maker or an Explore series machine with the Fine-Point BladeWhen the cut is finished, don't remove the mat! First, gently lift up a corner to make sure the ruler's shape is completely cut out. If not, press the "Go" button to repeat the cut process. It should go all the way through now.

Iron-on vinyl – I used Cricut Everday Iron-On in yellow, and Holographic Iron-On in red and cobalt. NOTE: I also eyeball it at this point to ensure this is where I want it to go. It is fine to change it if you want, especially if you're working with an irregularly-shaped design that might look more balanced not quite on center. Bring the hoodie down to see if it will cover too much of the design. If so, gently bring the ruler down to a better position, but keep it centered and straight. My rulers come in slightly different sizes depending on the garment you’re decorating, but they can all be cut from an 8.5″ x 11″ piece of paper. If you use the PDF, make sure that the ruler print size is at 100% to avoid making your ruler tool too big or too small. But if you might need to see the fabric’s surface during alignment — like if you’re using a patterned shirt— or plan to make A LOT of shirts, the chopping mat version is easier to make than you might think and extremely durable. It actually just takes a fine-point blade and StrongGrip mat!Now, don’t worry if the curve of your T-shirt ruler does not exactly match the curve of your seam. There may be a little extra space. So long as it is centered, it does not matter. A general rule of thumb is to align the top of the design right around where the tip of the hood lays so that none (or very little) of the design is hidden. We don't need to change any operations, because I'm going to use the fine-point blade to "engrave" the markings and cut the ruler shape at the same time, but only want the markings to be surface deep. I found it easier to double up on the ruler outline cut rather than fiddling with pressure settings, multiple cuts, and cuts turning out misaligned.
