No idea where to begin on starting a baby clothing line!!!
Hey everyone,
I am absolutely new to all of this and I hate to say I'm kind of computer illiterate, I know, I know, I might as well quit while I'm ahead. My husband and I are wanting to start an infant clothing line, we already have a huge marketing opportunity so we feel like we need to jump on it ASAP. The problem however is we have no idea where to start!!! We think we've decided on purchasing our onesies wholesale from wholesale baby blanks and we also think that although we like the idea of sublimation, a heat press would be more ideal for us. We're just wondering where to begin?!?!
If anyone has any suggestions for a specific heat press machine (size, if it comes with a paper package or recommended ink, or tutorials on how to use it)?
What specific computer software we would need to buy?
If we need to buy a specific printer?
We are completely ignorant as to how to even go about this and I feel dumb even posting on here after reading for hours and hours what other people are saying. The point is, we don't have the money to make rookie mistakes, so I'm hoping that we can take advantage of the veteran minds on here. Thank you so much in advance : )

When it comes to the manufacturing of clothing for youths 12 and under you should definitely be aware of the new change in CPSIA Laws, which will drastically impact your business model. I'd check out www.nationalbankruptcyday.com to find out more information.

It is a very long discussion but if you are going to make clothing for children under 12 I would read it all then start doing some research to make sure you fully understand this new law.

This is an expense that the majority of small businesses just can't afford. You know your business best so whether you push forward really would depend on you.

I am not sure if you are interested in starting an organic cotton line or conventional cotton line, but Colored Organics (Wholesale Organic Baby Clothes From Colored Organics.) offers low minimums for infant apparel. You can mix and match styles, colors and sizes. Best of luck!
