Hi All! I'm one of the new kids...
I have a small business making and selling hand-sewn items, as well as teaching sewing to teens, tweens and adults. I did a lot this summer with preprinted tees that the kids embellished with fabric and they were a big hit! However, the process of using an iron on my granite countertop to apply transfers is totally inefficient and drives me bonkers. If I could have back all the tees I trashed by applying inconsistent pressure and heat, I might be a millionaire right now (or at least have a nice downpayment on a good press).
So, I'm looking at the Stahl's Mighty Press Lite. Any feedback? Any vendors you all would recommend?
I sincerely doubt I'll be transferring anything bigger than 8.5 x 11 any time in the next 5 years.
I also need to get a decent printer. I have an Epson CX3800 that is as old as the hills and does not print true to color. Any recommendations? And do any of you use specialized inks for fabric transfers? Or does the *real* secret lie in the choice of transfer?
Thanks, all... this is a great forum, and I'm glad I found you!
