If there was an app that helped you get started with your clothing design + print brand/company, what would you want it to do for you? I’m seriously considering building something like this (monthly fee, but it would save you a ton of time, mistakes, and “guessing”). Before I go any further, I want to hear what youwould actually find useful. Here are a few ideas to get your brain going (tell me what you’d use, what you wouldn’t, and what I’ve missed): - Step-by-step startup roadmap (idea → first product → first sale), with checklists and “do this next” prompts - Design help: prompts/ideas, simple design feedback, and “is this printable?” checks (vinyl/DTF friendly) - Mockup generator so you can preview designs on tees/hoodies/baby suits fast - Pricing + profit calculator (blanks, print cost, time, fees, shipping) so you know what to charge - Supplier + blanks finder (UK/US options) + what to look for when choosing blanks - Production guides: vinyl vs DTF, heat press settings, common mistakes, troubleshooting - Product listing builder for Etsy/eBay/Shopify (titles, descriptions, keywords) - Content ideas + posting plan to get your first customers without paid ads - Order tracker / job sheet so you can manage orders and stay organised - Weekly “what to do this week” plan based on your goal (first sale / 10 sales / scale) Now your turn (even short answers help): 1. What’s the #1 thing you struggle with right now in your clothing/print business? 2. If an app solved one problem for you, what would it be? 3. Would you want it to be more like a coach/roadmap, a toolbox (calculators, mockups, templates), or a done-with-you system? 4. What would make it worth paying monthly for? Drop your thoughts below – I’m building this around what you actually need, not what sounds cool on paper.

I am somewhat amused about the huge difference if DTF pricing by the meter. I have seen one company advertise at £40 per meter, another at £14 a meter and a new one in the mancheter area at £5.99 per meter. I have purposly not mentioned any names as the question isnt about individual bur about quality of output. Will the £40 per meter authomatically be the top/best quality prints and does it follow will the £5.99 per meter be the lowest quality. Does anyone, irrespective of location, have an opinion please?

I wondered how everyone was custom labelling your products. I know you can pull the manufactors label off and replace it with a DTF one with washing symbos but what about sizing, do you have the same label redone for every different size or is their some special pen so theres only a generic labal and you write i the size, ths saving print money. Or are you doing something else please?

Happy Birthday Ste, what image are you designing to celebrate ?
