We begin this episode by discussing some of the reasons you might want to take on a mixed media design, and answer some questions you may have about the process. We also explain why apparel decorated with a mixed media design offers greater profit potential than one using just a single decorating method.
Next, we review the materials themselves so you know what each one does and what it actually looks like. We go over a few accessories for both the embroidery and HTV process that will help make this project as easy and fun as possible.
Finally, we do a detailed demonstration of the embroidery and HTV process, including how to customize your vinyl design before applying it to your garment. Along the way, we’ll also share a few pro tips for HTV that will help you produce the best results possible.
