Love this video and the information in it! So many gems! I’m a trademark lawyer, and just wanted to clarify a bit. Trademarks do not protect designs. They protect brands (names, logos, taglines, etc.). The risk with waiting until you’re successful to get a trademark is that if you later find out that you can’t trademark your name bc someone else already has the same or similar name trademarked, then you have to rebrand. And rebranding after you’ve reached success with your brand is likely to cost more money (energy and emotional distress) than getting the trademark upfront. Getting the trademark upfront ensures that you’re building a brand you actually own, and won’t have to rebrand if you’re infringing on someone’s else’s trademark. Also, we all hate when we see someone else using the same/similar brand name as us (because people do copy!). A timely trademark registration is the only thing that will help you get their stuff taken down. Just wanted to share some free advice. God bless your businesses!!
I just want to say you’re giving great information in a professional yet so casual manner, showing others, women and men alike how to do it successfully, yet to the point where it’s not overwhelming. I just SUBSCRIBED and shared your content to inspire others. GREAT CONTENT
Thank you Ms Katrina. You have been a blessing to me. I truly appreciate your sharing your information. You will be blessed for this . I know your business will go a lot further for your thoughtfulness in sharing. Again Thanks so much. 😊😊
When me and my son make it, I am giving you your flowers for sureee lol! I went looking for videos to help him start up, and low and behold, the first thing you mentioned was you and your son's separate brands!! So inspiring!
thank you so much for sharing all the information. I am looking around videos that would tell me how to start t-shirt business. and just like you said, I will figure it out.. Wish me luck.!!
Hello Katrina thank you so much for this video. You are right I am not an attorney but one thing I have learned from a trademark attorney is to get your business trademarked as soon as possible because if someone gets your name it will mean that a lot of money will be spent trying to get a name back or in some cases a person may not be able to get it back and will have to start all over again and money could be wasted in the process of losing a name. Trademarks are expensive that is one reason why I have not gotten mine yet or put the name out that I want to trademark. My daughter is looking to get into the hair business but we may use a generic name until we get her name trademarked just to be safe but we have to get more information to see if we can do this first. I appreciate all of your amazing videos and how you explain everything to us. I have learned so much from you. Thanks again and have a blessed day and week🥰
You’re very welcome. Wishing you all the best and much success to you and your business. Yes trademark your business and name when you feel it’s right for you
by far THE BEST !!! tutorial video , ... thank you so much for sharing your experience , and also the way you explain everything is amazing , honestly you help me take away that feeling of what do i do,,, where do i start, thank you again , God bless .
Knowing what you know Now 😏😏 would you still have 3 heat press? I've been thinking about this a lot I got a hand on and I'm retuning it cuz I know now I need a bigger size. P.S. thanks for just being you and sharing your business knowledge with us.
Thank you that's great stuff. I had a t-shirt company back in high school with some friends...we were straight hand silkscreening every shirt! Anyways, I'm a painter (artist) that basically works in all mediums except for oils. I've been wanting to convert my ability to paint into very art piece style shirts. I'm glad to hear things can be done so much easier now. I'm most def gonna do high quality photos or scans, and do digital transfers. I gotta find a good bulk t-shirt, hoodie, and sock distributor. If you can think of anything I'd be grateful. Some quick constructive criticism.... You have so much knowledge and experience it seems with the world of crafting. If you planned out your videos better, without all the flif flaf and talk...it would go a long way. I almost clicked off cause it took almost 10 minutes to get to the info. You could hire someone to edit and produce your videos really quickly and cheaply...it would make a giant difference. Keep up the great work
I wanna start a sportswear business. Mostly for martial arts and gym stuff and some casual hoodies etc . Found so. Great factories at turkey ( I live in Greece ) . They send it to you by 100-200-300 pieces etc and your logo is there ! Great quality . Most important stuff it’s a good simple e shop page and advertisement . You will need to put a good amount of money on advertising your stuff ❤❤
Check your shirts and see which ones you like. I make shirts by hundreds at school and we like Gildan dry blend g8000 for the boys. Some like the heavier ultra cotton. The boys/girls who want soft shirts like Gildan soft style and Bella canvas. I personally like my next level shirts but have never printed on them.
You are awesome! You have explained so much that I was afraid to even consider to ask. What a blessing you have been to me today. I am looking to get started with a little craft business and hopefully start attending vendor markets. Crafting brings me so much joy. Thank you! 🩷
Thanks for giving me the push I needed I have been watching your channel all day I use to make shirts and stuff and now I’m going to restart and I’m not letting nobody get in my way this time
Excellent video! That was 30 minutes of great information, and delivered in a friendly, thorough style. I especially like the pace of your speaking. It was perfect! Most of the time I have to hit the 1.25x or the 1.5x button because the person speaking just drags on, and on, and on. Now I'm off to watch some of your more specific vids. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience!
Thank you for your great video! I'm am planning to get my own setup, not for business but because I can't find any shirt designs for sale in Tall sizes. I have found a couple of websites that have great prices for plain colored shirts in tall sizes, but if I want a cool or funny design I'm out of luck. Even big names like Nike and Reebok rarely carry Tall sizes. Your video was super helpful. I think I'm going with a 15 x 15 Powerpress from a review video I saw. I'm not trying to break the bank with this. Thanks again.
I'm not in a crafting business, or any other for that matter. I came across your RUclips site and thought I would watch. You are an honest and amazing person. You are selfless and share an amazing amount of information that can be used for almost any business. Some people don't understand that a business starts with an idea of what you want to represent as a company. Build on that idea and create what you want others to see. May God bless you and your family. Keep spreading the love. 🙏🙏🙏
Yeah, I did this. I bought things toward getting established. Now I have to retrace and start over. I am at a stand still. But it is a lesson learned. Thank you for the info.
Good morning, Did you have to do anything with electrical in your home? Like increase space in order to maintain home and business? Thanks in advance!🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽
Wow. Thanks for sharing all this information, including the links to your other videos. Instantly subscribed. I’d love to know if there’s a video where you share how you learned / how you got into doing this business.
Hey Ms K, I've seen dtf printers that don't have the filter with the oven, is that something that's necessary? And I am having the worst time trying to upload my designs to order transfers. I'm so confused 😕. A local company in Tennessee, on their website, said to not upload from Canva. I refuse to give up but I'm so lost when it comes to specs. I'm so ready for the graphics pro expo in Indianapolis, I am determined to come back with a suitcase of knowledge! You keep me motivated and focused on not giving up😊. Thank you.
I have never used Canva to upload designs for transfers I use photoshop. And it’s better to have a filter for your over because of the gases in the air. Anyone who doesn’t have one is taking a risk
Hi Katrina. Did you have to get your elertical switched to accommodate your heat presses? When I use my heat press 15x15 & other things are in use sometimes my power shuts off.
Thank you sweetheart for all you do. I’m 61 and yes I’m trying to get some skin in this game. On a side note sometimes people see things that you might not. Please look into your thyroid. I see something and when we see something we should say something. Take care of yourself love ❤️

You’re very welcome Hello all the way in South Africa. Have a Happy New Year
Great tips as always. Thank you Katrina.
Do you test the design first or just order the transfers first of the design and see if it sells.
Awww I love how the subscribe button lights up when you mention it 😭💖
Very detailed and very dope! 🎉

How much does the printing cost
Thank you very much for this information.
Hi Katrina. Did you have to get your elertical switched to accommodate your heat presses? When I use my heat press 15x15 & other things are in use sometimes my power shuts off.
Wow i don’t think of that neither.
Thank you sweetheart for all you do. I’m 61 and yes I’m trying to get some skin in this game. On a side note sometimes people see things that you might not. Please look into your thyroid. I see something and when we see something we should say something. Take care of yourself love ❤️
Thank you and I have had it checked multiple times. It’s been enlarged for years. But I will be going again soon. 🙏🏽
So happy to hear that dear. Continued Blessings and success to you and your sweet baby boy ❤️
Katrina thank you for your advice
You’re welcome
So what heat press would be great to startup?
Sending your designs in to be made into transfers, would this not end up costing you more money in the long run?
Love the inspiration but how do you create your own tag logo for your t-shirts?
@@AntonioPorter-d1x I have a separate video for that please look up tagless labels or neck tag videos. There are plenty on RUclips. I can’t text that.
Thank you for all your nuggets! What is the storage life span of the transfers?
Each type of transfers last different. You will have to check websites and it will tell you. Most are 50 + washes
Thank you
Thanks so much for this vid. What do you recommend for a premium tshirt? I use Gildans for a lot of my bulk orders but I need a signature brand that feels and look premium. Circle shirts are great but after a couple of washes, it's not as premium as it initially looks.
Thanks and God bless!
Katrina I want to start a small business. I bought the heat press and accessories but I’m lost when it comes to making designs. I’m not sure how to do on computer
Very informative. Thanks
What would you recommend for shirts that are just catch phrases?? That’s what I want to start off with not too much too soon
Fabulous! Thanka for sharing, who do you use to make your transfers?
Keep going and be amazing as always ❤️
Thank you! Will do!
I have a question and would really appreciate some feedback. For those of you who sell t-shirts, do you sell women tees only, or do you sell men/children tees also?
I guess what I am trying to say, looking back, how would you organize your business on the computer differently than when you started?
Can you give some more information on the new Walapress heat press by Heat Transfer warehouse as soon as you get a chance.
