How it works
The Rules
One code per spot
A location keeps its code across every method, so a left chest logo can move from embroidery to BGX Print without changing anything in the store.
Measured from the collar
Every placement is measured from the bottom of the collar, front or back. Pants measure from the waistband, caps from the visor seam.
Shared default width
The store loads the default width first. If a method's max is narrower, that method uses its max instead (embroidery full front loads at 10").
Max size by method
Each method's max comes from its equipment: hoop, cap frame, screen or printer bed. Method pages list the full rules.
Migration
