If I didn't do this-OUR sewing looks bad even though THEIR iron-on is way off. The'center' on numbers moved up to an inch or even more up or down, side to side...so I know the other shop did not use a jig for the iron'ons. And this was this morning...! I slipped up in 'always trace' But with hoodies-after sewing right through a couple hoods that flipped up in the back...I ALWAYS and I mean it-always-trace for hoodies with my hand INSIDE the sweatshirt. Caught a couple 'almost' mistakes that way. Just have never done sweat pants before so I wasn't thinking. Next time...I'll do it without thinking! =========================================================== The AmayaUsers Mailing List Website: http://www.amayausers.com Discussion Board: http://www.amayausers.com/boards Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://www.amayausers.com/list ===========================================================
