Hello, I am an aspiring graphic artist that wants input my sketches into software. I want to heat press them onto t-shirts and use a vinyl cutter to cut. I just don't know where to start.

Do I start design in photoshop and then use illustrator to cut? Do I put text in the photoshop file or wait to add in illustrator? Or do I just do away with photoshop and design in illustrator only? I know illustrator must be used because I want to contour cut. I am really eager to begin... PLEAZ, SOMEONE HELP ME!!
