My example shirts use one layer, but for extra help on vinyl alignment in a more than one piece design, check out my tutorial on How to Layer Vinyl.
You’ll get consistent alignment on multiple shirts using my t-shirt ruler guide collection! This is extra helpful if your design doesn’t have a uniform top edge. Then, place the top of the similarly creased design right at the bottom of the ruler (though sometimes it goes higher or lower, I’ll show you in the video!). You don’t want it on the edge of the collar of the t-shirt, but on the seam. Place your T-shirt ruler on your vertically creased T-shirt. Once you’ve made a guide tool, how do you use it? It actually just takes a fine-point blade and StrongGrip mat! It might be easier to use if you have vision trouble since we’ll draw the markings on top using a Cricut pen before cutting it on a StandardGrip mat.īut if you might need to see the fabric’s surface during alignment - like if you’re using a patterned shirt - or plan to make A LOT of shirts, the chopping mat version is easier to make than you might think and extremely durable. If you make the paper version in premium quality cardstock like the kind in my material list, it will hold up for many uses. Which should you make? It depends on your different needs! Not to fear, you can make the perfect T-shirt alignment tool using your Cricut! I’ll show you how to use my free SVGs to make a t-shirt ruler guide out of cardstock or plastic.
