Albanese Embroidery Studio

Well... I'd say I made up for the two days I didn't work. 🤣

The last 3 days have been absolute controlled chaos...

✅ Finished the remaining 365 transfers I needed.
✅ Knocked out a 72-piece order with front AND sleeve prints.
✅ Cranked out 13 hats.
✅ 50 Koozies done.
✅ Finished another 3-shirt order.
✅ Started pressing the 365-shirt order... yep... front AND sleeve. 😵‍💫

Can we just have a moment to discuss sleeve prints?!

WHO INVENTED THESE THINGS?! 🤦‍♀️

It feels like I press one sleeve... turn the shirt... line it up... press again... repeat... for the next 47 years. I'm convinced sleeves multiply when nobody's looking.

I've managed to get 70 shirts done...
Which means I ONLY HAVE...

🥴 295 MORE TO GO!! 🥴

At this point I'm running on caffeine, spite, and whatever questionable life choices led me to say, "Sure! We can put a logo on the sleeve too!" 😂

If anyone needs me, I'll be buried under a mountain of olive green shirts talking to my heat press like it's a coworker that refuses to help.

Back to the sweatshop... wish me luck! 💪🔥👕

Maybe I should just call it quits for a while because HOLY HELL the embroidery gods have chosen violence this week. 🤦‍♀️
In the last 4 days: 🔥 7 hats absolutely sacrificed to the embroidery machine. 🔥 2 sweatshirts completely misaligned AFTER the damn test run stitched PERFECT. 🔥 About 10 things screwed up total. 🔥 My patience hanging on by a single frayed thread.
At this point I don’t even know what I’m doing wrong anymore. One minute everything is fine, next minute the machine decides to freestyle like it’s possessed by a crackhead raccoon with a sewing degree.
You ever get to that point where you just stand there staring at the machine wondering if you should unplug it… or launch it directly into the nearest field? Because that’s where I’m at. 😒
I swear this business is 10% creativity and 90% fighting equipment that wakes up every day and chooses chaos.
Maybe I just need to walk away for a bit before these hats become airborne. 🫠
