For those who print on t.shirts. polos ect , how do work out where to put the image on the left chest for the different sizes, ( needed for orders where consistence is needed so it in the same place) I have found some info online but not one that gives you where to put it for different sizes. Also if I use tailor chalk to mark where it go, would that show.

I'm not sure as I don't have one myself but have always liked them , maybe someone else will come up with a method as I just guess at the moment and its not the best way.

Not sure by what you mean not the best way, but I do appreciate that you took the time to look for it Thanks This afternoon I was using a ruler, I thought at this rate I'll be here till Christmas trying to put it in the right place. As they say ( should have gone to DSF )

It looks like a handy gadget, ........ we have always done it by eye, using hand width/no of fingers as a guage, .....
There have been times when I have stopped to stare at someone on the street/in a bar where the placement is obviously bad, I always look, and have measured to see what has gone wrong, I trust my eyes! - And those of Tracy & George are good too, and they are fastest!

Personally I have always used my eye. Measuring is all well and good but when placing a logo/image if you are out by 10mm no one will notice due the shape of a body. Have seen these things before and I look at them with the same view as the "t-shirt folder" - Over engineered and not necessary.

Trust your judgement and your eyes and you will be fine :-)

Just my opinion :-)

I use both the logo it and T square and find that the T square is even more useful than the logo it, as it has a 24" ruler which helps to centre transfer/vinyl across front or back of t-shirts, although I don't use the actual T square part much, except for things like number 8 on football shirts. I personally have found them worth every penny!

For the left chest logo would you use the logo it, and does at allow you to measure different sizes
