Hey everyone! I'm excited to be here! My name is Isabella Pixeltrendz , and I’m the owner of an Etsy shop called Pixeltrendz where I sell products like T-shirts, sweatshirts, sports T-shirts etc. I started my Etsy journey because I , love creating and I wanted to turn my hobby into a business, needed and it's been an exciting ride so far with plenty of learning curves along the way! I joined this community to connect with fellow sellers, share ideas, and learn how to grow my store more strategically, especially when it comes to marketing, listings, and navigating Etsy’s updates. I recently started working with a specialist who’s been helping me fix form issues and level up my marketing, and I’m already seeing progress. Looking forward to learning from you all, and happy to support each other along the way! Feel free to say hi or share your shop, I'd love to check it out! Isabella Pixeltrendz

Hey SKOOL crew! 👋 Just before Christmas, we held a few casual coffee meetups on Zoom. Everyone who joined said they got a lot out of them—it was a great space to get advice, see what others are working on (or dreaming up), and share both wins and frustrations. I’m looking to start these sessions up again from next week. What day works best for everyone? I know we’ve got at least one Aussie in the group, so I’m thinking about running an earlier UK morning session—or maybe even two sessions to cover all time zones. Let me know your thoughts—your feedback will help me make sure everyone can join in! Thanks! Steve

Just dropped a new tutorial showing you exactly how to take a complicated image with a black background and make it print perfectly on black shirts. In this step-by-step video, I’ll walk you through removing the black background, adding halftone effects to areas that fade to black, and reducing ink coverage for a softer, higher-quality finish. This is a priceless trick for anyone using AI to create their designs and wanting that professional look and feel on their prints. Hope this helps you get the results you want and makes your artwork stand out! Let me know if you have any questions or want to share your results – I’d love to see what you create. Steve

A big welcome to everyone who’s just joined the group! It’s great to have you onboard. Whether you’re just starting out, already running a clothing print business, or somewhere in between, you’re in the right place. Don’t be shy – jump in, ask questions, and share what you’re working on. If you need advice, feedback, or just want to connect with others on the same journey, this is your space. The more you get involved, the more you’ll get out of it! Looking forward to seeing your ideas, wins, and challenges. Let’s help each other grow and make some awesome progress together. Steve

Heads up, everyone—I’ve got a super useful bit of free training coming your way soon! 👀 If you’ve ever created a complicated image with a black background (especially using AI) and wanted to print it on a black shirt, you know how tricky it can be to get that pro look. This weekend, I’m recording a step-by-step video showing you exactly how to: - Remove the black background from your image for perfect printing on black garments - Add halftone effects to areas that fade to black, for a smooth, pro finish - Reduce ink coverage to give your shirts a softer feel and better overall quality - This is a real game-changer for anyone creating designs with AI and wanting to level up their print results. I’ll walk you through the whole process in Photoshop, so you can follow along and apply it to your own artwork. Keep an eye out – I’ll be creating the video this weekend and posting the video straight after! Steve
