sashes

[india]

Does anyone know where i can get some lime green sashes suitable for sublimation as a reasonalbe price
Also ive not worked with the silky material before, any tips anyone and what temps and times are best

thanks

To work for sublimation these would need to have a high polyester content level. Also, they would need to be very light to enable the image to show as sublimation will only work on white/very light pastel colours.

Can't say I've seen anything like this before tbh. What are you putting on them? I just wondered about using vinyl instead?

thanks for your replay
its for a majorette troop, they need lime green sashes and black writing.
I am new to this so any advice/ideas much appreciated
thankyou

Vinyl would work a treat, not sure where you'd get the material though unless someone could make the sashes up?

Try here, although the ribbons are for their ribbon printers they are polyester, so should sublimate ok. Thy have 100mm ideal for sashes.

Do you cut your own vinyl? It's something many of is could do for you if you need it sorting. Obv. you'd then just need to press it on.

Justin i have never worked with vinyl, so no idea whats involved. Would they still be washable?
anyone who wants to give me a price for doing this please feel free
bear in mind tho its for a non profit making childs group so i need to keep costs as low as possible

I am considering buying a silhouette cameo to work with rhinstone templates, would this also work for doing this job?
thanks

Yes they would be washable, cameo would do the job.
