    Laser embroidery

    Bear with me, my search-fu is very weak today...

    I seem to recall seeing something (either here or somewhere else) about laserable multilayer fabric that you can use to make what look like embroidered badges.

    Can someone point me toward a supplier or am I hallucinating again?
    Yoga class makes me feel like a total stud, mostly because I'm about as flexible as a 2x4.
    "Design"? Possibly. "Intelligent"? Sure doesn't look like it from this angle.
    We used to be hunter gatherers. Now we're shopper borrowers.

    The world makes a lot more sense when you remember that Butthead was the smart one.
    You can never be too rich, too thin, or have too much ammo.

    Lee,

    I've seen Twill advertise several times now that they've got a material that is not damaged by the laser. You cut it, layer it or layer it and then cut it. Store it until you're ready to heat press it to material.

    I'm planning on getting my hand on some for touching at the show in Indy next month. Otherwise - I'll have to buy some to try it eventually. I think it would be a great addition to my sublimation shop...

    Experience is a wonderful thing.
    It enables you to recognize a mistake when you make it again.

    Hi Lee, Epilog has a project on they're sample club area involving twill that uses multilayers. I've tried it and it really works. Don't know if this is what you had in mind or not.
