Okay Cuties...if I am going to delve into this whole Mylar thing...what size sheets are the best to get? Are the 4x4 sheets big enough? I know it will depend upon the size of my design...yes, but you Mylar Cuties out there...what is your experience and what size(s) do you buy? I also saw Loralye's post about using the inside of chip bags...hmmm, sounds interesting! Or do I want Angelina film? I know this has been asked before, but what is the difference between the two?

I bought mine from the link below. The sheets are large, so I just cut the mylar for what size I want and save the pieces for smaller parts of designs. Less waste this way and her mylar is great.

Thanks, Jerri...I will check it out...by "large" do you mean 9x9?

Oh, I see the large sheets are 18 x 30! Wow...

Sorry I wasn't sure what the size was and wasn't home to be able to measure them. I really like this mylar and as I said, save the pieces for smaller designs.

I would say buy the large sheets and cut them to size but also grab a few sampler packs,4x4 is just about right for a design unless you have a super duper hoop (which I don't). I think the mylar would be easier to use than the Angelina film or fibers.

10-18-2013 Here is a link where one cutie read a tip from Designs By Sick suggesting the use of chips bags as an option. It sounds like a good idea, especially if you have not used it before--good idea for practicing with new designs. Below is the link.
