How to Screen Print T-Shirts

By Rain Blanken, About.com Guide

First, you'll need to choose what design you want to screen print. Choose a design that will be easy for you to trace over. Simple designs take ink easier, too. You can draw your own image, or find an image you like online.

Use an image editor on your computer to make the image the correct size. It will need to fit in your embroidery loop. Print the image out on a plain piece of paper.

Next, prepare your screen.
