Underneath the press. The front isn't through the holes. I would need to Unbolt it but I'm gonna contact them to see what I should do.

    Melissa! Binging on your videos and learning about foiling. I'm ready to get my first heat press! I'm wondering, the small pink heat press you have, is that big enough for me to start foiling 8.5x11" sticker sheets? Or do you recommend I just jump up to the larger one? Thank you for your videos, and for your help!

    • @SilhouetteSchool

      The small craft press it's 9x12 so you could fit an 8.5x11 sheet on there, but for there are 15" heat presses available, like this one. shrsl.com/3rvi3 It's bigger and less expensive so might be worth considering
