OK, I consider my self the Self Appointed "Queen of Craft", that's craft Dakota, not
crap

I agree with Dakota as to people not having the drive to go through with it. Consider how much of a commitment you want to make. I went the YUDU route, it suites my purpose, but I'm not making hundreds of 4 color shirts at a time. I've recouped the cost of the machine and saved by printing my own shirts and packaging.
A lot of people down this machine but I don't know how many have actually used it.
Here's my advice, hit HSN order a yudu. Try it for 30 days and see if you even like the whole screen printing process. You'll get the basic of printing and if you don't like it send it back, if you do like it but you feel you need more sophisticated equipment, send it back, at least you can try before being committed to a large out of pocket investment. With flex pay you make one payment and if you send it back you'll only be out the return shipping($25). Also google hsn coupons for extra savings.
There are people actually running their businesses with this machine.
FYI-I used this for burning my screens, but no longer use there branded supplies
(too much$$)
