Actually really refreshing to see someone makes mistakes and share with us how to remedy them. She's honest and letting us learn from her mistakes.
Some youtubers never show their mistakes...buT i definitely don't mind. That's how you learn. Thank you
Peroxide will remove the burn also lay butcher paper on the press and on your garment. I used card stock in between my shirt, it’s thicker and protects the shirt front and back. Great job I love your channel.
Awesome idea. Thanks
Great advice 👍
Is the peroxide trick only for white shirts? If it was like light pink would the peroxide lighten the shirt?
How do you use the peroxides
First off love your videos 🎀 I use a Breyer roller to push the sub spray into the fabric. I also use like a fine mist as to not soak but to eventually apply the sub spray then I let dry either overnight or just by placing the shirt on the press without closing it just so the heat from the top plate will help speed up the drying. That way I don’t get that burn on my fabric. I find this method works best for me hopefully it will work for someone else.🎀
Love the fact you are so transparent... I truly appreciate you taking the time to show the do's and don'ts... keep up the amazing work 🥰😍
Appreciate it. A lot of people cut out all the mistakes. I like to show it. That’s what really help people.
Good job! But I use Dyepress Sublimation Spray, it turned Yellow because you used too much spray and you should break down the spray a little more with more water it was too concentrated. It is supposed to be sprayed lightly not saturated, saturated but not too wet. just a tip to get the best results. And yes get a spray bottle that has 2 different spray settings and spray across stop go across again below where you sprayed and continue until you finish the area , not up and down or s. I know it says spray twice but I only spray once. Better to have too little than too much because you can always add more. Too much spray yellows it because of the concentration, trial and error we learn from our mistakes.p.s too much spray and saturation is what is making your paper stick. Too wet on the front and was not thoroughly dry on your last shirt. Hope this helps!
Great tips thanks. That never happened on by hoodies. It was weird but yes I definitely have to get a better bottle.
how does it hold up in wash
I would like to know that as well.
Thank you. Did this with Poly T last night and the first shirt yellowed. Thanks for the information.
@@brianwynn10 holds up great in the wash!
I so love your transparency!! Thank you sooo much for all the “tea”!!! Keep up the positive influence!!
Thank you so much. Will do!
Where has this channel been all my life I love have you show when things don't go right it makes me feel more at ease about my own mistakes. Thank you and keep the videos coming
Been right here. Lol. Welcome. Much more to come.
Thank you for your tutorials. I watched a video that showed them rolling the spray on the shirt with a small paint roller to get an even coat on the sprayed area.
Yes I seen that one too. I’m being sent another brand and that one has a roller. I think that method is better.
Does the paint roller leave lint/fuzz?
Great job. I like that you were honest about the mistake. There are instructions that says to put a towel underneath on the heat press. That may reduce the burning.
I am just getting ready to start my DTF and sublimation apparel printing bussiness . So far it's been a lot of research. I want to say I have learned so much from you. Your videos give me the confidence that I need to jump. Thank you so much.
*_Thank you for sharing_* Keep Motivating us all !!!!!!💯💯
Thank you for watching
Hi I really appreciate it that you are being 100% genuine!!! Because you could of just Edited all your mistakes out but you didn't!!! But can I make a suggestion? I think you need a heat-press PILLOW on the bottom of the heat press & attach TEFLON paper with MAGNETS & it will always be there & your HEAT PRESS & your projects will be protected. Thank you for videos 💛
I thought about added the Teflon to the top with magnets. I just might. I also have heat pillows. All sizes. Thanks
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 thought you weren't supposed to use teflon with sublimation because it keeps moisture in
I’m a new fan! Just came across your page and I’m obsessed! Your videos are so informative and you keep it real, mistakes and all! Love the transparency!
Your content is so good. I didn’t lose interest at all. I’m a fan! Even watching the printing is relaxing. You and I talk to our printers the same way. Thank you:)
You gotta speak to this equipment. Lol. You should hear me when I’m off camera. Thanks. Much more to come.
Thanks for letting me learn from your mistakes! Appreciate your content!!
I like that you show the mistakes some people videos you never see any and the when we try at home all kinds of things happened so thank you for keeping the good and the bad on videos.
Of course. It’s how you learn and definitely how I learned.
I tried to do double side sublimation before and had the same problem. I feel your pain! I love your videos.
Yeah I won’t do it again. I will use vinyl or a transfer for double sided.
I'm so glad I saw this because I definitely needed to know this
Glad to help
Hi Katrina! I just recently found your videos and I really love how informative and generous you are sharing what you know. I have seen a couple of videos where cotton was successfully sublimated. One is by the dye press lady where she put a thin silicone mat inside the tshirt before spraying the poly-t and that protected the back of the tshirt really well. Also you need one of those continuous spray bottles for an even distribution of the poly-t. I've seen another video where a rolling brayer was used to press the poly-t into the fibers of the tshirt after spraying. I hope these tips can help if you ever decide to try sublimating on cotton again.
Hey yeah this video was a long time ago. That bottle was messed up. I have since then improved that method don’t don’t really use it anymore I use other methods and shown in later videos.
Thanks for doing all research and sharing
You’re welcome
Absolutely Beautiful!
Thank you so much
When sublimating on fabric tear the design paper instead of cutting it, the straight cut edges will leave a line on your garments - Just found you in January and love your videos keep up the good work - Be Blessed
Thank you so much. Welcome.
great video, i had these issues also but i stopped using my press to get the moisture out and started letting the shirts completely air dry , takes several hours unless u put it under a fan but i got better results using this type spray when i let my shirts air dry before pressing them
Oh that would take way too long when I have to get orders out.
I’m only through your intro and I already LOVE YOU!
I have BEEN sleeping 😴 on ur channel but not any more THANKS for all that u Do 💐🥂❤️
Don't sleep on me you might miss something. You're very welcome.
You have a new truly 100% follower in me because girl you are a blessing that truly will push me to get it done and know that I can.
If you ever chat with your followers please let me know. You are a true inspiration to me.
Excellent video. Thank you.
Wow that was interesting, you handled it well sis
Thank you
Awesome tutorial 👌
thank you
Love your channel, it has help me alot.
Glad to help
Hi Katrina, I really like your shirt design hhhh. It distracted me and thank you for the tutorial. I am freshly new to subli so is my learning mode now. thanks
Lol. Awww thank you. I made it and designed it.
You should use parchment paper & only use the same side down on your press to avoid sticking
Great video thank you for making it. Why not turn the heat press down and spray the shirts and then pre press them then turn the heat press up and then press the shirts with the sublimation?
Hi Katrina. Thanks for the great video & for being so honest and transparent. I love the name of your channel too. I am a newbie here still in the learning stage. I have tried sublimating on 100% cotton tees, but they fade upon badly upon laundering. I tried 400 degrees F for 60 secs as most recommend, but burnt a hole right thu the shirt. I am now going to try lowering the temp to 385 degrees F. Also, when de-sizing with the 50/50 peroxide solution, how long do I press it for ? Any other advice would be most appreciated. God bless !
You can only sublimate fully on polyester shirts otherwise you have to use other hacks if you are suing cotton shirts. I have a few other videos that give you examples but it depends on the material
This is a video on what not to do🤣🤣 Thank you for these videos because I know we all learn from our mistakes and I can learn from yours. No Shade though. I'm trying to start Sublimating and I like your teaching strategies.
I was testing this for the first time and I hate this method I don’t use sprays at all.
There is another bottle hairdressers use to spray a continuous mist which may help distribute the solution. I don’t know anything about sublimation and I’m learning with you but I do know about the bottle. Sold on amazon
Yeah I know I was going to get that one but ai don’t do this method anymore. But thank you. My hole was messed up in this bottle
Hey Katrina , blessings.. In your opinion do you think the spray is better than siser sheets? Also, is there a 15”x15” clamp press you recommend? Thank you
Try putting a piece of card board in between shirt to keep other side from going through
Sorry by the way I’m so new to this. And I love the way you work especially u show your mistakes where it’s good to see what happens when making a mistake
Keep up the great work and I’m watching your videos to learn
Blessings queen
Thank you so much. I definitely learn by mistakes as well
What’s is the brown sheet you use
I love your video's
Thanks 🙏🏾 so much ❤
Sometimes you can spray peroxide on the scorched section before you spray with sublimate, and it should come out.
Really? I will definitely try that. Thanks
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 you are so welcome! I love your videos, so easy to follow. 🌹
The red color looks good. What print settings are you using? I can't get my red to print correctly.
I don’t use any color settings
I think it looked pretty good the second time around
Hello! New, just subscribed today;)
I like that you showed the shirt that got messed up, that was really helpful!
Could you spray both sides of the shirt and then press it once?
A few have asked. I wouldn’t do that way personally. But I’m sure it could be done. I have perfected the spray method since this video still doing it one side at a time.
I've not used any of the sprays, but when I do my shirts I have a Teflon sheet on the bottom plate, then my shirt (With copy paper inside), then lay my design on the shirt, copy paper on top of that, and then Teflon on top of that then press. I am not sure if Butcher paper works the same as parchment which is what I started out using, but a friend who's been doing this longer than I have let me know when we were talking about my colors not coming out as bright, I knew they'd not be extremely bright because I've yet to find 100% poly, but my shirts at the least so far are 50% with a few 65%, but he let me know that parchment paper does not allow heat through(which after his explanation of using it to bake with made total sense) and to only use Teflon. with copy paper in between. I don't think he even covers his with the copy paper he just puts the sheet in between his shirts. But I didn't want to change it. Mine have been coming out so much better. and with the Teflon on the bottom plate, my shirts never stick and I do both sides almost every time.
Also, Dollar Tree sells some nice spray bottles :) Sometimes they're in the hair/makeup aisle (smaller ones) and the larger ones are over in the cleaning aisle usually where the brooms and mops are I've been buying from both isles for years every now and then I get a large one that is jacked up, will work for a week or two then the handle you pull to spray will break but it's so far and few in between that I just chuck it in the trash and go up to the DT and grab another :D
Anyone have any good sites to buy in bulk/wholesale for the White Shirts though? We have a hard time finding any local that is even 50/50 but we are just starting out, and funds are sparse so trying to find where we can get anywhere between 50 to 150 multiple sizes for under $3 a shirt (going off total price)
I switched to parchment paper and I have a video on where to buy shirts wholesale on my channel. Hope it helps.
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 thanks found that video after I posted here.
I have tried this and really love the results, but after one washing the image is drastically faded. I wash cold water and basically let it air dry. Is there any solution you can spray on afterwards to keep the image from fading so much? or is there another trick of the trade? thanks!!
Thank you for sharing.... can i tell you something probably will help if you sprayed both sides before doing sublimation than you do your design 🤷♀️
I appreciate the miss-haps thank you for sharing
you're welcome
Question ~ Where did you get the amazing ''T" ruler? I love it!!!
Heat press nation. The link is in most of my videos. Down below.
use a PAD between the shirt when pressing,, it will help
also to keep the pressure off the seams.
Maybe cover the heat press pad with a towel or other cloth. The pad gets really hot, the spray wets makes the paper moist and probably stains the pad because of the heat.
Love your channel, it has help me alot. Where did you get your t ruler from please
You’re very welcome. It’s from Heat press nation. I believe I stated in the video. Linked down below in the description box.
Definitely love be the content also always showing the specifics and do’s and don’ts. No one shows you hands on appreciate it sexy woman😍🙏🏽
Thank you. I believe people learn better seeing the whole process.
Nice! I wanted to see the whole family with the shirts on. Lol.
It was an Etsy. They sent in a review but with no picture. I would love to see them in it as well.
Where did U get the drawers Your printer was sitting on? Tfs I always learn so much from your videos.
Thank you and Walmart I believe. Full room tour coming
You might want to cover the bottom platen with latex cover sheett!
You may want to try an angled paint brush to work your spray into the fabric.....
Good video thanks I would never use a spray for cotton
Do you need a specific Epson printer because I have one that takes ink cartridges but idk if I can use it for that?
I converted it. I have a video that shows how I converted my printer. You can see how I did it. Look under videos.
Using the cardboard in between like you’re bleaching might be a better option to protect each side while spraying and pressing
If you use the PolyTplus you will not get the yellowing. This stuff is amazing!
Hello Katrina, I watch you all the time and have learn a lot, but can you tell me where you get your images from?
I get different images from different places and make some myself. I talk about where I get most of my images from in every video almost. The link for creative fabrica is in almost every description box. You must have missed it.
Great job, where did you get that centering ruler from?
Hi!! It’s awesome. I saw it on Amazon!!!
@@Sweetness575 Thank you.
I have printed with the same materials and the same sublimation spray but the result is very fade. Am I doing something wrong or is the print method not good enough?
Maybe a small paint roller to even spread the spray on the shirt.
I have one now
I have seen where some companies use a roller to spread it once you put the spray on before pressing it. Not sure of the effectiveness but just an idea.
Yes I do that now this video was made before I got one.
Could you use a brush to apply the subli spray to the needed area?
I’ve never seen anyone use a brush. But I have a better spray bottle now and a roller.
Thank you for your honestly! This looks like suffering to be honest! I feel like Sublimation on a Cotton fabric is a struggle 🤦🏽♀️
Hello, I have a question.. Do you know if I can use a Epson Ecotank ET-2850 to do regular Heat Transfer on cotton garments
I do not want to give you wrong information. I have not done research on that printer. I’m sure there are videos on that printer.
Saw on other video where someone took a paint roller brush and spread the spray out alittle to a more even coverage
Yes it works better. I have one now. I just filmed a new video today using It
Can you make a video setting up the cutting machine I just ordered and can not work it at all...smh
I wonder if you could press the front and back at the same time?
Hmmmmm I wonder. But you would have to put something thick enough in between not to bleed through. I wouldn’t try it though.
I would treat all shirts before I press image there I can change the temperature once
How did you do the back with the vinyl?
Where do you get your shirts from? I am torn between which to buy? I like to feel my products and cut do that when buying online..
I get my shirts and hoodies from a warehouse here in Charlotte. I have a video on some of the best t shirt brands and where you can get them from.
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 okay ill try and find the video for the products. Thanks for your timely response.
@@tamikadavis5113 you’re welcome
What shirt brand do you use? Does it fade after washing? Can you please link the spray?
I use different brands for different project. Those were the Next Level for Men women and Kids. I will link the spray before the end of the night once I get on my computer
Hello do you do one on one because just converted my new Epson 7210 by watching you but my color is not coming out like yours I also use the same paper you used the same ink everything you have I have but it’s not looking nothing like this . I need help can you please help I spend so much money on everything .
where did you buy your great ruler for tshirts?
Heat press nation the link is in mostly all of my videos in the description box
Can you please tell me what kind of brown paper is that
Peroxide sprayed on the scorched area and set in sun...will take the scorch out
Thank you. Someone else said that as well. I’m definitely gonna try.
Did you add water in the solution ?
Do I really have to use a cricuit or a cameo? What happens if I don’t cut my paper ?
If you are doing full page sublimation you don’t need a cutting machine and you can always cut around your design with scissors but if you want precise cuts professional cuts and depending on the material you are using you will need some sort of cutter.
Have you done a wash test on any of these shirts. Also, where you able to get the yellow out?
I just posted the wash test video yesterday.
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 i saw that on the Gucci shirt. But I thought these shirts were made using the spray. I watched another video where she used a pray and it bleed and faded on the first wash. I ordered the paper you used for Mackey and can't wait to try it out.
@@SassyLawris yes When I used the spray it sometimes bleeds if I use too much spray
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 oh ok, so a little spray goes a long way.
I Love Your Work, Do you do one on one mentoring?
I will be soon
Hey ma'am, how do you make the images go to the full paper size??? I have the epson wf 7720 and even when I use the 8.5x11 inc sheets. What am I doing wrong???
I used Microsoft Word to get a bigger pic. I hope this helps.
I print from silhouette studio and I put in the paper size before I print. I go into my settings before I print to make sure the correct paper size is selected.
@@yoshana Thanks ma'am, I appreciate the info.
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 I tried to use Silhouette Studio but it feels more complicated than Cricut Design. My husband bought me the largest Silhouette last year. Opened it to take a pic but didn't use it. I was intimidated by the size and not used of using the Silhouette Studio, it stayed in the box for 8 months. I finally decided to sell it. I've seen videos on how to use the software but didn't have the patience to learn on how to use it. 🙂
@@yoshana it’s so easy once you get the hang of it. But I understand sometimes new things can be challenging. Some people like cricut better. There are pros and cons to both.
What did you you to fix not getting a line that you said one of them had
I kept running nozzle head checks and cleaning the ink through. I am going to do a video on pushing the ink through ASAP. A few others asked about it as well.
Maybe put a heat press mat between the shirt so it wont burn
Would you use this method on shirts that you sell? Thanks
That is my question too. I’m trying to figure this out to use on tea towels but my black isn’t black enough. Looks more blue.
Yes I do. But I use different methods. It depends on the type of shirts and the design that will determine which method I use.
Hello Miss :)......may i ask have you tried sublimation on cotton tshirt without using any "hack"? (white cotton)
No you sub on cotton without a hack
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 i sent you email hope it is ok.
Thanks for the video you just made my life a whole lot better and your also very beautiful
Thank you so much
Can you treat all the shirts first and then do the sublimation on all the shirts?
I am wondering the same thing. Back and front and then do the sublimation. Ill have to try
What's the name of the spray? I purchased some on Amazon and it doesn't work.
What type of paper is that?
Will it work on 00% cotton
Hi! What size of paper do you use for adult large designs?
Every design is a different size. Just measure the space on your shirt of how big you want your design to be
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 thank you! Also I’m having problems with my black designs coming out grey
Where did you get that ruler?
Link in description for heat press nation.
Great video.
What is the real purpose of the spray?
For the color to adhere to the shirt and stick to the fabric since the shirt isn’t polyester.
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 Oh ok
I wasn't sure. Thank you
What model of Heat Press did you use in this vidéo?
It should be linked down below. But from HPN 16x20 I have a video I recently posted about choosing the right heat press.
I think it was the spray bottle !
And for the burnt…I think it was too much as well ..let us know if u ever resolved tht (the cause of the bunts and bleeding)
The first shirt I did I pressed it too high at 380 F. it was supposed to be pressed at 330 then sublimate the image between 375-385 degrees. All the other shirts came out fine with no burn marks.
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 thank you so much 😊
