Found My Back to School Best Sellers!

Hey guys, what's going on? Welcome back to the channel! Today we have a lot on our plate, so let's dive right in. First up are the backpacks. If you caught the last video over the weekend, you know I started working on them. They came out a bit questionable at first, but we’re getting there.

Yesterday, I managed to do a few more backpacks. However, today, I plan to finish them all. Once done, I’ll move on to printing. We have two kid's pencil bow back to school shirts that need to be printed on the DTG. Beyond that, we have a shipment coming in today for AJ lanks, which are just white girl short sleeve shirts. My dad’s in the bath cleaning up, but he was organizing in the back to get ready for the new shipment.

The primary focus today is completing the backpack designs requested by customers. Initially, I offered one font, but now, due to customer demand, multiple fonts will be available. This means going through the entire process of editing the fonts, double-checking them, and ensuring they are correctly made. I use Brilliance Essentials for designing; it’s available for both MacBook and PC.

Starting with lunch bags for Reagan and George, I'm using the 7.25-inch Mighty Hoops. I prefer these because they fit perfectly for the backpacks. Some mentioned fast frames, but given my setup with multiple machines, Hoops work best for me. You can get free shipping using the code "kids" on my supplier's website.

Hooping Process

For Reagan and George’s lunch bags (blue for George and pink for Reagan), I don’t use any stabilizer. Measuring about 12.5 inches, I find the center and hoop accordingly. I rely on the laser on my machine to ensure accurate centering. The final step is to hoop them securely, ensuring they are level and tight.

Embroidery

The lunch bags easily fit into the machine’s cylindrical arm, allowing for precise embroidery. Once everything is centered and traced, I start the embroidering process. The backpack is a bit more complex. It requires tear-away stabilizer and careful hoop alignment due to its liner and metal zippers. Still, the process is straightforward with careful adjustment and alignment.

Conclusion

All done with the backpacks and lunch bags! We also received a fresh supply of thread from Canand. If you’re interested, there’s a purchase link below. Shipping is free for orders over $ 150, and the cones only cost $ 5.50 each.

Next on the agenda are fall floral ghost t-shirts and two pencil bow back-to-school designs. I’m excited for these; they always turn out so colorful and vibrant.

Thank you for tuning in today. We’re deep into back-to-school mode, taking full advantage of this busy season. See you in the next one!
