I knew almost nothing about textiles before I started Ugmonk. I had taken one basic screen printing class college but knew very little about the actual production process and garment industry.
Producing physical products is VERY different from digital design. Though something can look great on screen, it may not translate well to a physical product.

Getting physical proofs of whatever you are producing is vital to understand each of these details.
