Hello, I'd like to say that I'm excited beyond all understanding. However, I bet all of you know exactly how I feel after designing and completing my first shirt. Just so stoked! Anyway, I'd to say thanks to all those that gave me advice. Especially Girlzndollz for all the great tips. Thank you.

Wow, that looks just great, Bob! Transistioning to shirts veryyyy nicelyyy.
Which vinyl did you use, and thank you for the nice comment, you're very welcome.
I knew a lot of what I would be doing would be pretty detailed so I decided to go with something that had an adhesive backing. According to all the reviews that I read, prices, and a gut feeling, Easy Weed from Siser sounded like a good vinyl to start with. Everything went very well. The weeding took a little getting used to because I'm so used to the vinyl being sticking rather than the backing. The vinyl was also much thinner and much for stretchy that what I expected. I actual think I like it better than sign vinyl. My el' cheapo press seems to be working well too. It has a dual timer which allowed me to press the shirt alone for ten seconds and then press the shirt and vinyl for 14 seconds on the next pass.
I can see that this is going to be a lot of fun.
Wow, haha, you certainly sound like you have the bug!! Good for you, it's so much fun to find something new you love doing. Thanks for the feedback on the easy weed. I'll try to tuck that in the back of my mind for the future. Sounds like you are a signs and shirts guy now! All the best to you, Bob, may the good times roll!!
So stoked right now. First T-Shirt.
