I’m a LOT late to this party. Just wanted to say you are my “ go to” person!! Thank you!!! You make it so people aren’t afraid to jump in and do what they wanted, again thank you!
Those are all so cute! I never thought about sublimating socks. I love the pink ones! I think the no show socks are my second favorite. It's just so cute!
Glad I found this video of yours. Just started thinking about sublimating socks and, as always, your video was just what I needed. You are always give such great detail and suggestions. THANK YOU!
Thank you Angie for the very good detailed video. I've been sublimating "Silky Socks" for about a year, and they sublimate beautifully. In addition to their socks my second love for their blanks are the 95% polyester shirts. You can't go wrong using their blanks.
If you use a metal jig inside the sock, use easytack or tape to hold firmly the paper onto the sock for a full wrap just as would a tumbler (no need to cut in half and piece the design then) and then wrap your papered sock in jig with aluminum foil (tight), it will help distribute the heat to prevent those seams and no need to roll the sock onto the jig before pressing the second side. With heavy pressure in your press the foil will do the work !
Question - when it comes to matching seams, would it not be better to lay the sock slightly askew when sublimating the one side and then roll them the other way? That way you're not bunching them up when it comes to printing the next side.
I just made some socks with faces on them. I used the inserts so they were stretched but they were still very blurry and distorted when I put them on. Do you know what I’m doing wrong. Are there some settings I should be changing. Thank you.
Hi, for the no show socks what measurements did you use? In canvas I put 9.5 inches tall by 4 inches wide and I filled up the whole size of the paper. I’m doing something wrong
I used around that size I think. I measured the sock since they may vary. Maybe make sure your paper size is correct. a 9.5 x 4 inch print should not fill up an 8 1/2 x 11 inch paper.
I have a question.. you went kind of fast clicking around for my brain so I had to keep replaying to see what you did. How did you take the face image and put it on the canvas part that you then duplicated? Not sure if you right clicked or what but after you said zoom out and add it and duplicate I was like… completely lost lol. Now my head hurts so I’ll try again tomorrow but I’m very new to Canva but I did just buy the subscription thinking maybe that’s why I’m confused but it’s the same. Help me Help me lol
