What I Used in this Video:
Hotronix Fusion IQ
Uninet iColor650
Siser Easyweed HTV
Paper Cutter
Weeding Pen
Cameo 3
Procedures:
Place White HTV onto the cutting mat
Load it in to your cameo cutter
In your Silouette Studios – Select Heat Transfer Vinyl Smooth in your cut settings.
I usually bump up the force to a 7 instead of the recommended 4
Remember to always cut your design in REVERSE for HTV
Send it and let your cutter do its thing
Once done cutting, before unloading, I’d recommend to try and weed somewhere on the sheet to make sure its pulls off smooth and easy
then unload.
Meanwhile if I haven’t turned my heat press on, I’d go and turn it on (Hotronix does take almost 15 minutes to heat up to 310F)
Remove HTV from cutting mat
I use the paper cutter to cut away excess vinyl as scraps but can be used for other projects
Start weeding
Use the paper cutter to cut and separate the designs
Time to start pressing…
Always prepress your garment for 5-10 seconds to get any moisture out for better adhering
I used the embroidery helper for left chest placement.
Press for 5-10 seconds
Peel off carrier sheet as its still hot ( Hot Peel)
Place silicone sheet over the htv and shirt then press for another 5-10 seconds
Now the front is completed lets move to the back:
Fold the garment in half and press for 2-3 seconds to get the center line
You can use a t-shirt template helper for placement
I normally fold the HTV in half to find the center
I line up the center lines from the shirt and the transfer
Then I’d pick up the shirt to make sure everything is aligned
Set the shirt back on the press and press 5-10 seconds
Remove the carrier sheet
Place the silicone sheet over then press for 10 seconds
ALL DONE!!
