Hi, this is Mark Kneeskem on behalf of Expert Village and in this clip, I'm going to show
you how to prepare your shirts and your stencil for the actual printing. You want to put newspaper
inside the tee shirts that you're going to be screen printing on to keep the ink from
going through to the back side. Also, you want to make sure you think about where your
seams and buttons and such are so that you're not going to be ruining your design by trying
to run over the seams or the buttons because they'll push up against your screen and cause
the ink to squirt all over the place. You'll want to lay out your shirt carefully on the
prepared surface, making sure there are no wrinkles because that's another way to for
sure ruin your design. Next you're going to lay out your stencil onto the back of the
shirt and if you have lettering or if you have, or if composition is directionally important,
just remember that when you lay out your stencil, you want to make sure that the lettering is
positioned right side up because then when you print it, it will read correctly on the
shirt. And that is how you prepare your stencil and your shirt for screen printing
