silkscreening method

sorry to bring this up again. thanks so so much to everyone who gave me great advice the first time. i've got all my materials assembled and i just want to see if i've got the gist of what to do before i go and waste too much materials. i'm using the CDF/QT film Ron suggested. this will be done under a bug light or red light:
-i've prepared the fabric with ulanogel 23 to degrease and abrase.
-i will use no.25 to prep
-position the film with the emulsion side up (that's the pink side, with the clear side down?) on my flat surface.
- take a wet screen and place the printing side down (that's the side that the frame is flush with the screen?)
-squeegee the water off the topside
-let dry
-now i flip this over to remove the clear backing sheet?
-place my transparency with design on top of the film
-make my exposure
-washout and dry
does that sound about right...?
thanks again, shasta.
