we put our logo on the back of some hoodies for the employees Friday, turned out really well. I will have to confirm that this is what we used, but it is a much thicker material. Once pressed on, it feels thick like something that was glued and flocked.

Man, I hate having to correct myself. Wrong material, we have been using the Siser EasyWeed Stripflock. It is about 4 times as thick as the EnduraTex HotFlock, I had to increase the cutting depth of the blade, but then it worked pretty well.

Yup... The iron on heat transfer for shirts can get a little tricky.... I have had 3 wins and 1 loss..... But I'm just using a $17 iron from Walmart.... But I have washed the shirts and they are all good.

For heat transfers, I am using a $200 clamshell press I bought on eBay over a year ago. About 16" square, works great.

As far as why I buy film at sign warehouse, can't remember. Might have been a difference back then on price or film suppliers, no idea anymore.
