Trying to put hot flex vinyl on polyester fleece. Has anyone done this before? Vinyl does not look as good as on cotton tops I've done before. Looks all crinkly, as if it will peel of. Any suggestions.

Suggestion....Dont do it. It will peel off. Micro fleece might work but again , there are problems. Not enough contact area for the glue.
Only real solution is embroidery.

I've pressed a lot of fleeces with flock (we have some workwear fleeces ourselves) and they've been washed and worn a lot without any problems. Have also pressed flock on to fleeces for lifeguarding and again no problems. I personally wouldn't go down the route of flex though on fleece.
