Yes, always take that second or third or more look, and somehow it still ends up wrong. That usually happens when I’m in a hurry, I’ve learned to make myself slow down, take a breath and then take that one final look.
Congrats to @MaterialGirl , @Judi_B and @MyCupOverflows22!!
i have a shelf full of rejects,(makes good x-mas gifts for close family… sorry mom) i just add it into the costs and keep telling myself to pay attention to what i am doing, but who am i kidding things happen!!!
Chronicles” — Funny, Real, and Teachable
Let me tell y’all about the time I donated a $30 shirt to the “Oops Museum.”
I was in acrylic mode — no mirror needed. Switched to fabric. Forgot to mirror. Even predicted the mistake. Still pressed it. And Kevin’s birthday shirt came out looking like he was in a ninja mirror dimension ![]()
Lesson learned:
Mirror check is non-negotiable
Acrylic = no mirror
Fabric = always mirror
Predicting a mistake means nothing if you don’t pause and act
Now I double-check like it’s a ritual. Because every shirt deserves to be right-side up.
@Samantha_Bryant @BellethehowtoGuru I’m glad to know it’s not just me… lol… those sublimation shirts sure aren’t cheap… lol.
I mean, the shirt is still good. It’s perfect if you’re standing in front of a mirror. I’d still wear that shirt, while drinking out of @BellethehowtoGuru’s upside down printed mug, while standing in front of the mirror. ![]()

That’s how you mirror it after the press.
Hahaha ha, you crack me up. Thank you, I needed that laugh. OK back to filming this video. It may be the death of me.
You’re very welcome. I’m happy to have made you smile. ![]()
Can’t wait to see what you’re working on. ![]()
Man. I always double check spelling and alignment and placement.
You’re right, it’s always when you think: “I can just get to this before I have to…” that things go wrong.![]()
Coming from a sewing background, I automatically follow the rule of “ measure twice, cut once”. Now my obsession is - Is it straight? Is it centred? I probably spend as much time on that as everything else put together! ![]()
Shoot, I could measure 45 times and still cut wrong. ![]()
I used to hate the way Acrobat always printed it at scale.
Me: “It’s an A4 page, perfect set up, generous borders, etc. Exactly the way I want it.”
Acrobat: “Here’s something completely different to what you wanted!”

I can’t believe there hasn’t been enough complaints that they change the program.
I tend to measure twice, cut 28 times. I’ll almost always want to change something, even though there was nothing wrong to start with. ![]()
I think it’s because the change was good overall. Theres big complaints over on the Cricut side with design space at the moment. Reading the threads have been funny ![]()
Ahhhh, yes! Spelling is another biggy for double checking! I made quite a few cute towels that said Chistmas Blessings! Gave them to family and friends ![]()
