    Aprons

    Any recommendations for subli Aprons? Big price difference between Xpres & BMS. Has anyone used either, or any others, please?

    We've given up using blanks as we weren't happy with the quality of them generally, and the differences in quality and sizes between different suppliers making for a very inconsistent product line.
    We're now doing print, cut and sew ones, which gives us the advantage of being able to all-over print them perfectly, and choose our size and shape of the garment, and don't have to rely on what blanks are available, just need to buy the rolls of fabric in.
    IF this is a route you can go down, I'd definitely recommend it.

    Hi Pisquee, would you recommend any particular type/supplier of polyester fabric? I did have some samples from a supplier of specific sublimation poly but none of them quite had the 'drape' that I was looking for so it would be nice to try alternatives (not necessarily sold as specific for dye sub merely suitable fabric content for that use). Thank you

    We should consider a forum auto correct word for Longforte all things considering.

    Please can we keep posts/threads on topic and get away from trying to drag as many as possible into being about views about LF?

    Our textiles supplies have been hard come by after years of trial and error, meeting suppliers in warehouses and at tradeshows - if you want to find the good/best quality polyesters at a reasonable price you need to put the work in, as the sublimation suppliers don't have them.
