Automotive airbrushers even use transfer tape (something the vinyl sign industry uses). With T-shirt art, you're shooting at a higher PSI (like 60) which is going to cause thinner materials to flutter like mad. To cut your own, I'd go with acetate, just for the ease of cutting. Look for "tri-acetate" if you can find it. Art-tool makes a variety of pre-cut stencils and the designs are increasing by the minute. Check out Airbrush Action magazine. Kent Lind and Terry Hill do how-to's in it.
