After posting Margot’s fabulous YuDu video over here, I went googling around and found the YuDu web page: whatdoyudu.com. You can find lots of information about this and related products over there including tutorials, videos (though not as cool has Margot’s), FAQs, and more.
From what I can tell, this is not for the faint of heart crafter. It’s not necessarily difficult, but I would also not expect instant gratification either. In fact, I remember doing actual silk screening in a high school art class, and it was really a very similar processes, though agreed the YuDu is still easier than what we did. It also in not an inexpensive investment of your mulla. However, check Joann’s and Michael’s for coupons. I have seen this product at my local craft store, so I know you could probably score one for a discount.

Thank you for posting this second part, as I really enjoyed Margot’s video. I am still giving this some consideration, but must really be sure before I take the plunge. I know I would love it, once I got the hang of it.
I have seen this machine as low as $229.00 now. But, the supplies to tack on to have a variety and options are going to also be extra to add on.
Hmmm. Hmmm. Hmmm.

Thanks for the blog shout out! The YuDu site is great, they also have a sister site called Unsilence Yourself. I love this machine and I have to say, right out of the gate I made a cool shirt. I’ve never screenprinted before, but my hubby has so he helped. The hardest part is burning the screen and making sure you get an image that will work.
Cheers,
Madge
