Screen Printing Tutorial Part 2: Creating a Printing Screen

Step 2 Setting up the blank screen

Loosen the outer part of the embroidery hoop & stretch the tights (nylons) across the inner ring, pulling taught. Carefully place the inner ring back into the outer, then screw it securely shut over the tights. Trim off any excess material from the edges, leaving a smooth, taught surface to be used as your screen.
