Clothing hexing tips

[Bobbi Jo 🎷]

I tried my hand at hexing clothes years ago and got so frustrated trying to make stuff show in the closet. I know you have to change ID numbers. Do any of you experienced clothes hexers have any suggestions to make that part go faster and smoother?

Also, how do you center an image on a shirt?

Thanks so much!

Here's the tutorial for non-rotating clothes, with a template for putting your image on:

And for making clothes show up in the closet, I use the Breed ID (as a number) instead of Breed ID (as hex) because then I just go up by one with each item. I'm in the 22900s right now. It's basically impossible to ensure that it won't conflict (have the same number) as a clothing item by someone else, so I usually have my closet pretty empty, or at least mainly just my own clothes in it so I know I'll be able to find them.

I think I remember someone talking about changing the ID #s of all the clothes in their closet on their own, so they wouldn't have any problems with clothes showing up. I am fine with that, but I don't know for certain that all hexers would be.

Hope that helped!

Thank you, Trisha! I have a really cool idea and would like to give it a go this weekend. So as long as my image falls in the template it should center on a kid with a non rotating belly?

For the most part... I usually try to stay 3 or so pixels from the edge to ensure that it shows up. Also from what I can tell with mini-Mady, the full image won't show up fully on a smaller than normal baby.

can't wait to see what you have planned!

Thank you for that Trisha! I am trying to hex clothes at the moment as well [/pp]
