How it is done:

Wash, dry and iron the jumper without fabric softener before printing Prepare working materials and cover the work surface.
Print the desired motif and cut it out carefully with a cutter. Stick the stencil with adhesive tape on the flat screen side with adhesive tape.
You can mix the textile print colours to create the shade of your choice.
Place a piece of cardboard, paper or foil between the fabric layers of the jumper to prevent the ink from penetrating. Place the screen with the flat side on the jumper Then use a painting knife to apply the paint in a line about 1 cm wide on the upper edge of the screen.
Now use the squeegee to pull the ink without pressure from top to bottom over the motif until all surfaces are covered with ink. Then pull the squeegee with even pressure from top to bottom over the motif to transfer the colour onto the fabric.
Then carefully remove the screen from the jumper and place it on another place. Apply colour to the screen again and transfer with the squeegee. (When placing the screen, pay attention to already printed motifs that are still wet. Do not smear motifs).
After printing, carefully remove the screen from the jumper, remove the stencil and clean the screen under running water and let it dry. Allow the jumper to dry as well.
Then paint small dots with Fashion Liner shimmer in the spaces between the trees. Allow to dry well.
Then iron the motif (place a cloth in between) for about 3 minutes without steam. Afterwards, the jumper can be washed in the washing machine up to 40 degrees.
