    I am just starting out with sublimation and heatpress with vinyl. Finding your videos very helpful. Had a SNC since they came out in the UK and done loads with it but now its time to do what I always wanted to do. Late as always compared to others but willing to learn about sublimation and vinly heatpressing. Thank you so much, you have given me loads to think about,

    I am so glad you mentioned that about the table height. I have broken my back and now have long lasting problems from that. I had an easy press because I could lift it without problems. I finally have a permanent place to store a full size heat press. I was a little worried about the difficulty of kicking it on place so I will make sure to try out a lower table.

      Omg no way! I think I flunked my freshman phase 3 times! I've had my heatpress over a year and always get information overload when I Google it. So I'm not the only one. I'm stuck at the brands. What's a good ink brand, a good printer, and brand of heat transfer paper to get? It's for mostly cotton shirts. I Google it but again there is so much various ways. I just want brightness and durability I guess.

    You are so amazing. I really learned alot watching this detailed video. My brother bought a heat press and started making really cool stuff so I decided to follow suit. My heat press came in a couple of days ago and he has been helping me with what he has learned. I still enjoy watching videos because I still tend to learn things I havent experienced yet or even thought about. I learned ALOT from this. I love your shop, detailed, attitude and your enthusiasm. You really need your own show. Thanks again. Oh and I also enjoyed your sense of humor. Look forward to following you as a new subscriber.

    Just bought my first swing away heat press after my Cricut easy press needed replacement in only 2-3 months. Not many videos out there on how to use the heat press and the different styles so appreciated your thoroughness, your honesty is great because reality is we do things all differently and it was nice to see the reasons for those pads! LOL Seriously, vendors do such a poor job with the manual/directions as you know. Thanks again!

    good video. I just subscribed. I made teflon heat press pillows for 2 years for a friend of mine in the heat press industry. He retired. The same guy just sold me his heat press (15x15) , a Cameo 3 cutter with Bluetooth, a Cricut Easy Press heat press ( the 12x10 size) i guess you'd call it " hand held" and a bunch of vinyl . I already made a design and applied it to a practice shirt no problem, I'm so excited about this. Lots to learn : )

    I’m very interested in starting to make t shirts, towels or anything else with a press. This was super informative. One question, what do you use to create the heat transfers?

    Okay. I'm sorry. The story of the swing away in a wall sent me into hysterics 🤣Just the way you explained it. I would have been distraught as well! 😂😂😂😂😂

      Thanks Shaundra! It was very distressing, I'm glad you feel my pain! 😂 Hopefully I'll save a few others from similar heartbreak! Thanks for watching! ---Becky
