The February Technique Upgrade Most Pro Crafters Skip

Feb 7, 2026

February is quieter by design, which makes it the perfect time to refine your transfer process. Experienced sellers use this month to improve technique instead of chasing trends.

One of the most valuable upgrades to focus on right now is layered apparel work. Experimenting with DTF transfers to create embroidery-inspired or stitched-style looks allows you to offer premium designs without the cost or turnaround time of actual embroidery.

This is also the ideal time to expand the range of surfaces you customize. Testing UV DTF transfers on candle jars, ribbed glass, cosmetic packaging, and storage containers helps prevent costly mistakes later when order volume increases.

Use February to test blanks you will rely on in March and April, especially best-selling apparel and drinkware styles. Knowing exactly how your transfers perform on each surface now leads to faster launches, fewer reprints, and more confident production later.
