    I wondered that too...but right now the home crafters are using a regular iron ...I would  think this is a $130 step up from there.

    They don't know they could get a "real" heat press for just a bit more....but it sure will take up more space.

    Find My Font was able to identify the SB fonts.......:( although one at a time.

    I opened the font file and captured the font image in FMF...

    Find My Font was  able to identify the actual font name from the search there.

    If it worked for one font it should work for all...but that will add 200 mystery fonts to your font folder.

    Perhaps add a folder in the Font folder and put the SB fonts in there...as you use/need them, rename them and move to your regular font folder.  This way the fonts you never used won't clog up your computer font cache with unused fonts.

    Maybe you could copy the fonts in the "sbfonts" folder and install/paste them into your Windows Control Panel Font folder?

    *****I went into my 2009 version of SB and searched for "sbfonts" and found the font folder/ files....

    BUT they are all re-named alpha-numeric...like SBF_001...etc.

    No way to see what font it is without opening it....cut & paste may not work for this.

    Sue thank you! that answers my question.. I was told i cant press with the plastic on! that helps me so much! I was weeding and individually placing the letters

    yes.. but i feel like there has got to be an easier way to put the letters on

    After cutting and  weeding, are you peeling the Heat Press Vinyl off the clear transfer sheet before pressing?

    You should be pressing with the transfer sheet on and peel it off after pressing.

    Check around your local craft supply shops (and online) to see what THEY are charging...

    Begin your pricing with that and also consider:

    1. YOU are providing colors they don't carry 

    2. YOU are hopefully offering a better grade vinyl....

    3. PLUS instant access...no shipping either.

    4. AND, the purchaser is using you instead of keeping stock onhand

    All that is worth a bit extra.

    I cannot open this file.  saves, but does not open picture.  I am looking for a "design file" so I can have a leather stamp made of the Marine Corp emblem shown below.  anyone out there able to help??  I don't even know what a design file is but the stamp maker has asked for one.  thanks

    us marine corp image.jpg

    It opened fine for me...what program are you trying to open it with?

    It is probably much too detailed for a "leather stamp".

    You may be better off at first partnering with someone who already has the equipment

    and expertise and can supply these items.....leaving you to spend your time doing

    what you do best.  This would allow you to determine if this would a be cost

    effective addition to your services without putting out money for equipment and

    spending time learning the garment imprinting ropes.  If things work out well,

    you will know what equipment they use and you can then decide if you want to dive in.

    Just my two cents......
