when going to a silk screener for t-shirt printing do I have to reverse everything?

I am looking into doing a 30th birthday t-shirt for my boyfriend and I want to make a shirt for his party. I was wondering if I needed to reverse everything to come out right. ( I know that in high school in my graphic design class we needed to flip everything)
No need. They can do it.
I am a silk-screener and we do not reverse artwork. We print film-positives, not negatives. I would ask your silk-screener for art requirements before sending them the file. If you are printing only one shirt, are you sure they are actually silk-screening the T-shirt and not heat-pressing it? I don’t know any reasonable silk-screener that will print only one shirt – there is too much set up involved.
