I use the Cricut Maker to cut my vinyl. You can check it out here (affiliate link). cricut.pxf.io/c/3575984/1253601/15311?prodsku=2004193&u=https%3A%2F%2Fcricut.com%2Fen-ca%2Fcutting-machines%2Fcricut-maker-machine-champagne%2F2004193.html&intsrc=PUI2_9492
You are welcome! Shirts can last quit long if you press them properly and wash them properly. The design typically lasts the life of the garment. Make sure you are washing with cold water, inside out with no fabric softener.
Yes you can. Make sure you are using dry heat (moisture and spray options must be turned off). Also keep in mind that irons don’t heat up evenly across the surface plate. Typically they are hotter in the center of the plate and cooler towards the outside. You will also need to press harder and for a longer period of time using a home iron. So yes it is possible but you will get better results with a heat press or Cricut easy press.
I would not recommend an ironing board as you need to use pressure when applying HTV and ironing boards are often unstable. You could take the padding of your ironing board and put it on a sturdy table.
you dont need to apply pressure at all mate, you just set it there and it does the job, i know because i have just gotten a Cricut and did just that, just on a solid table, but that's because i dont have a readily available ironing board to try it out myself.@@littlecraftnest
That sound frustrating. You can check the Cricut Heat Guide to see if that helps. Different materials require different times and temperatures . cricut.com/heatguide?gclid=Cj0KCQjwldKmBhCCARIsAP-0rfyAxrNLMrk60G8qhf9EQ3wDAWE5Fgi2c3KldYjlu7OfKYNwMxE91xsaAr1MEALw_wcB

How long does a t shirt made with cricut supplies last especially after being washed and dried? Thank you for the helpful video!! 🙏

Need more models
I have a mini device. What type of paper is used for this device? Would any thermal vinyl paper work??
I’m pressing heat transfer vinyl onto the shirt and using parchment paper in between to protect the shirt and the press.
@@littlecraftnest 🙏 thanks
How long do you do the pressing with it?
Depends on what material you are using. Check out Cricut’s Heat Guide here cricut.com/en-us/heatguide
Thank you 😊
You’re welcome!
Can you just use an iorn?
Yes you can. Make sure you are using dry heat (moisture and spray options must be turned off). Also keep in mind that irons don’t heat up evenly across the surface plate. Typically they are hotter in the center of the plate and cooler towards the outside. You will also need to press harder and for a longer period of time using a home iron.

Question how do you put png into a tumbler can you use a mini heat press machine or does it have to be a special type of press
You would need a tumbler press or sublimation oven. Watch this video to learn more ua-cam.com/video/8EDNhxcg_ww/v-deo.htmlsi=eaaaUlNXedL6GPGg
I luv ur video can u tell what materials did you use for printing on the shirt, i have my mini heat press. Thanks and god bless to you
Thank you. I used Heat Transfer Vinyl.
Do you need specific ink or printer?
This is done with Heat Transfer Vinyl cut with a Cricut machine.
Where did you get the vinyl stickers from?
I made it with my Cricut machine. Check out my channel to learn more.
can we print on cotton??
This is heat transfer vinyl put on a cotton onesie. If you want a printed design you could use printable HTV.
hi what is that called that little paper on the top when you use the hot iron?
Parchment paper
what's taht sheet above the shirt when you pressed? is that teflon
Parchment
I think I'm buying one today
Nice
Need more variety of heat press
Thats good and all but i dont own a mousepad.
Another solution especially if u are using an iron for this is to use an ironing board.
I would not recommend an ironing board as you need to use pressure when applying HTV and ironing boards are often unstable. You could take the padding of your ironing board and put it on a sturdy table.

I absolutely cannot get the design to stick using my cricut mini press…any idea what I’m doing wrong? 🤔
That sound frustrating. You can check the Cricut Heat Guide to see if that helps. Different materials require different times and temperatures . cricut.com/heatguide?gclid=Cj0KCQjwldKmBhCCARIsAP-0rfyAxrNLMrk60G8qhf9EQ3wDAWE5Fgi2c3KldYjlu7OfKYNwMxE91xsaAr1MEALw_wcB
I just use the stand my dad irons on
Genius! I’ll definitely use that now
is there a difference? genuinely curious?
Has anybody’s easypress stopped working within 8 months? Press the on button, red light comes on beeps three times and goes off.
This should not happen. Call Cricut Support. If it’s less than a year old it should still be under warranty.
