Smile need help for pre-cut letters and numbers

We are getting ready to purchase numbers and letters for our upcoming sports tournaments. Is pre-cut letters and numbers the way to go? We are looking to buy pre-cut individual letters unless the cost difference between pre-cut and sheet lettering is dramatically different. We are only pressing letters, numbers and transfers at sporting events. Do we have any need to purchase a vinyl cutter? Thanks for any suggestions!

If you have a vinyl cutter the alignment would be easier.If you go with individual letters you will need to align them each on the garment. A cutter would be much easier. Good luck. .... JB

I'm glad you asked this question because we're thinking of doing the same thing. My question is this. Keeping in mind that we'd only be doing letters & numbers what would be the ideal cutter for this. I would imagine we wouldn't need the fanciest most versatile (expensive) machine out there. What machine would yall recommend. Also is there a machine that doesn't need a pc hooked up to it.

We like the ease of pre-cut vinyl to heat with the press. Thanks!
