I just got home from a successful vendor fair. Quite a few of my ready made items sold and I took in a handful of custom orders for sublimation. I even had a bride order custom bridesmaid’s shirts for her bachelorette party! All in all a very productive day. Now it is time to get to work producing the custom made items. I pull out my laptop and go to my supplier’s website. Since the items I’ve sold vary, I decide to jot down the specs needed for each individual item. This search an jot process takes about 20 minutes. Cheat sheet finished and I’m ready to go!

Half way through, I lose my cheat sheet. So, I go back to the computer and begin my search again. (Found it under a pile of parchment paper and used sublimation paper a half hour later.)
Does this sound familiar to you? It happens to me ALL THE TIME! So, I finally decided to take a day off and categorize all things heat transfer. Next, I printed them and made them easy to locate in a bright purple binder!
