    God Bless you Lumedia! I have been through the ringer with drop shipping companies, and silkscreen shops, I am a Graphic Designer and obviously have had an interest in all this stuff but hit a hard spot with another job, saw this video on the side panel and clicked it. You shook me out of my head, and led me down the HTV rabbit hole. I can't thank you enough for the info in your videos. I have bought the things I need and have my self a nice setup. I literally have thousands of designs which until now I had no idea how I would ever get them out into the world.
    Not only am I doing clothing, I have a much larger understanding of the vinyl cutting industry and have zero doubt, that I will be putting my design skills to work in an industry which I have dreamed about my whole life. Thank you again. Great video, great information and very helpful to see your wife joining in as well. It helped mine to see herself getting involved as well.

    Good video, Lumedia. I purchased a US Cutter 871 a couple of years ago. Their software, VinylMaster is really good and competitive with the rest of the stuff out there.
    I am self-taught, it took me about a year to master the software. Now I have a website and I do decals for folks around my area by word of mouth. I'm not getting rich but I am having fun with it in my old age, 68. Long may you prosper.
