Well I bought some sticker vinyl in black/red/white/pink/blue and t-shirt vinyl in red,black,white,pink and 4 neon colours.

I stuck clear of the fancy metallics etc. I must admit that I am very impressed by the feel of the red t-shirt flex that I have cut and applied - it feels soft and looks good. Need to play a bit more this weekend.

Just be looking at T-shirt vinyl just now

Well, I bought them in 600mm wide sections, the vinyl came from two sources, my local supplier Signzworld (they sell on eBay but have premises you can visit) and the remainder from Merlin Transfers as I was ordering other stuff from them at the time. I have looked at MDP and will probably buy off them in the future. I bought the red t-shirt flex from my local supplier as a sample and must say I like the look and feel of it and may go back for some more colours to play with - it definately has an elastic quality which allows it to stretch which helps. I also made my first dye sublimation t-shirt this week and must say that has impressed all that have seen it. So far a lot of likes but not many firm orders as yet.
