For my final pieces I had to set my two screens up on the registration bar so that my screen would line up and repeat easily. It was very annoying to do because you have to keep checking that the screen lines up and if it doesn't you have to move the bolts that keep your screen in that position.
When lining the screen up you rub talcum powder through the screen onto a black surface so you can see the design. It saves you from having to keep washing your screen and wasting ink.
The short clip below shows this.
It takes a while to do and can get frustrating but it is worth it to make the printing process quicker. I learnt that you can never get the design to fit perfectly together but you can get it to fit as close as possible.
