CONGRATULATIONS!!! I love your videos because you make them easy to follow, you are not just talking away about other stuff during your explanations which is huge for me, other ones talk so much that I get tired and leave them. You are to the point on what we want to learn. Keep up the great work, you make me not afraid to try new things as I am a big newbie!!!
I agree. Takes away from the reason you are watching and the constant rambling is aggravating. I quit watching different ones for that reason.
I agree! She just shows you what to do without all the giggling and nonsense.
Love the inks flexibility! Nice. Thanks Angie!

You explain everything so clearly. I did have a question the other video I watched had you doing registration marks and letting it dry completely and using a new stencil for the second color. You made it look so simple. I love screen printing more videos please.

Glad it was helpful!
Wow this was sooooo helpful thank you
Glad it was helpful!
I would LOVE to see how you screen print other materials including wood and paper. Great video!!
Great suggestion!
Thank you for sharing! ❤️
Thanks for watching!
Thx Angie ...my favorite video was learning how to do silk screening. I would love to learn how to layer Oracle 651.. there has to be an easier way then how I tried it....
Angie thank you for this tutorial! I have never done Silk screening before but this is Awesome! This is perfect for my daughter. She is a plant nut. 🙂
You are so welcome!
Thank you so much!
You're welcome!
I've been wondering about this type of thing, but hadn't looked into it. So glad I found your video! TFS!
Glad it was helpful!
@@AngieHolden have you done this on can koozies by chance?
I have not. Try Pigskins and Pigtails. I am sure she has!
wonderful!!! thank you
Our pleasure!
Once again Angie you have helped. Thank you so very much. And a big crafty girlfriend hug!
You are so welcome
Wow Angie, this is awesome, I was thinking today about how can screen printing be done on a smaller scale. Appreciate you
Glad it was helpful!
You need a splinning tool for the spline holding your screen in. Thank you very much for your amazing, informative videos.
Yea I didn't have one so I just pushed it in!
I would love to see silk screening on wood!
Great suggestion!
I’m sold! Winter project I think.
Thanks for watching!
I would love to see you do a screen on tile. I spent many years working with silk screening tiles and then hand painting. That business is gone now but always wished I could do more for personal use. The supplies and the making of designs for screening now seems obsolete. Janice
Interesting! Thanks for commenting!
I find your videos among the most informative. I love the bits of science you throw in to explain the why's and why not's. Could you have unzipped the zipper on the pouch you printed on to make placement easier?
It still won't lay very flat for placement but would help a little!
I have just tried your method out - well pleased with the results especially where you isolated parts of the screen to get a separate print.
Not sure about using HTV on the screen for long runs as I thought the mesh was polyester and has fairly low melting point !!! Thanks so much for sharing.
Yep. You can use HTV on poly. I would probably use BFlex which presses at 285 for just 4 seconds.
Angie - many thanks, will give a try
Ombré effect would be interesting to see with silk screen !!
When doing 2 colors you said you don’t want to remove screen. I am assuming that you would only bring the 1st color to the end of the design and then back up????
Great tutorial!!! I’m not surprised as you are always very thorough, just right pace, speaking volume and with clear easy to understand explanations!! 🥰👍🏻👏👏🥰
Yep that is what I did. If you lift it, you would have to align perfectly for color 2.
cool
Hi Angie,
Thank you for the tutorial, it was very helpful. I couldn’t find the link to the materials needed. I looked for read more but I don’t see it. Is it still suppose to be there?
Carol
Omg. So glad I found this
1. For fabric. You use HTV?
2. If you use easy press what temp and how long do you press
3. What are the pros and cons of this vs just HTV
I subscribe to your Chanel. So will I get notifications each week when you do your videos. Thank you so much. What a game changer
You can screen print just as I have shown with vinyl. You could add HTV to the screen instead to make a permanent screen. You would press for the time/temperature for silk as that would be the closest material. Pros of this would be it is so much easier if you are making a bunch of one type of shirt. Once you make your screen, it is quicker that HTV for multiple shirts. Cons are that this is not really practical if you just want to make one or two shirts.
@@AngieHolden don’t really understand the HTV process that will be another lesson. Just wanted to make sure that what you used was permanent or removable vinyl. Thank you
Permanent vinyl. In the description for the video, you can find links to everything. You might have to click read more to see it.
I love all your videos , you’re amazing , can u pls tell me which font did u use for “hot mess just doin my best” THANK U
Totally adicted bought the We R Memory keepers new silk screen tool, cant wait to get started with it and your teaching. Could you do some designs on wood using the cricut vinyl cut outs. Also maybe some ot the metal sign blanks you can get at Dollar Tree and if you do how would we seal them to use outside. Thank you and if its not too much trouble using multiple colors of ink and how to do registration marks with the cricut. Ive tried but couldn't get the hang of adding the registration marks.
I know that Pigskins and Pigtails has a TON of screen printing tutorials that will help you!
Interesting
Thanks for watching!
Thank You I just try this and I’m happy with the outcome!
Where do you get your transfer type from ?
I am not even sure what brand I used here!
If you wanted to keep a particular mixed colour you might possibly mix it in a jar with a screw cap then use it out of the jar.
Yes you can!
@@AngieHolden I don't know how baby food comes where you are but here some still comes in glass with screw lids and would make excellent reuse resource.
Cheers☕ from Ontario Canada I ordered Ikonart my question is Whats the difference between Stencil film and Fabric texture film? I realize the texture film is for clothing. Does that mean the other is for...wood ,glass and so on? I love screen printing I have a 4 station 4 colour press I taught myself on a speedball I love it. Then I bought the one color station press love it then July 1st 2020 I bought my 4/4 press and broke my foot the same day fun fun fun😉. Anyway MORE MORE MORE please of screen printing and Ikonart Thankyou👍 Cheers☕
Yes! I think the textile film is for shirts, etc and the other is for like wood and glass.
I just found you and your channel snd signed up for emails and I’m so excited! I ordered a kit and some paint and I’m just watching again before I go for it! I’m super nervous 😬. I know practice and trial and error is how you learn. The machine intimidates me🤣. Is it a MUST that you use permanent vinyl? I have some Cricut brand of both stencil/permanent but just curious. I also bought some permanent from the dollar tree for random practice projects. It’s definitely not the best but great to practice with snd kid projects. Also, curious if you would use that cheaper vinyl or simply stick with the good stuff? Thanks so much for this awesome tutorial! 😀you make this look so easy!
I haven't used the dollar tree vinyl so I am not sure on that! I wouldn't waste the stencil vinyl on this project. I would use it for applying directly to wood.
@@AngieHolden thank you Angie! I chickened out again yesterday and just kept pinning different fonts! So Cricut or good permanent vinyl that we know will stick! Appreciate your comment back on such an older video! 🥰
Hi Angie, I love this video. It is very informative. I do have a question about the speedball ink. You mentioned you mixed two colors and made gray, You also mentioned you cannot save the ink you made. What is the reason? does it dry out or not stay together? I am just curious. Thanks :)
Well, you couldn't put it back in the original container. You could buy containers just for ink that are air tight and save it!
Hi, I watched your video on screen printing. Do you have a video on how you made the vinyl design for your screen printing?
Not sure what else you need besides what is shown in this video? I used a Cricut machine to cut vinyl.
Love your videos 😍😍. Thank you!! I have a question after you print the fabric a heat press can be used for the next step I read of a regular iron? And if it’s better what temperature and for how long? Thank you so much for your time
You can use an iron. I would do the right temperature for the fabric and check the ink you are using for time.
I think she’s asking if you use a heat press what temperature do you use and time.
Q. Best layering placing practice? Mean on tee from collar below how many inches you leave to add design?
It is generally about 2 inches down from the collar.
How does it change if you do a dark fabric? I'd love your tutorial on that. This definitely has made me dive in, I'm probably going to stock up TODAY!
On dark fabric, you are going to have to do several coats of ink. So apply one coat, dry it then apply another coat, etc.
Looks so easy! What kind of vinyl did you use please.
I just used Cricut permanent vinyl.
What shirts do you use? The colors are really cute! More silkscreen! Hodies.
The shirts were Bella Canvas!
Hi Angie! Thanks for the video. I was wondering if you had a link for those craft sticks with the flat end that you used for scraping up paint? Thanks!
I don't! They were stir sticks from ETI (the resin company).
@@AngieHolden OK thanks! Man, this looked really handy for scooping up paint!
Lol OMG annoying noise. You always have good ideas. Any to use to burnish the vinyl? 😃
Hi! Interesting video. I just wanna know if the vinyl will stay a few more rows if a wash the ink from the screen
Yes. I have washed and used a vinyl screen a few times.
3 things.. 1st good job 👏... 2nd its vinyl paint not ink and 3rd a cool trick i use is to buy small cabinet hinges and attach to your screen wood and the table surface so the screen comes up perfectly straight... see on the next video
Angie, can you you use any blend of materials when you screen print (100% cotton, poly blends, etc)?
Yes!
Hi and thanks for a great video. What mesh is your screen? I'm finding 110-250 and all in between. TIA
I used a 110.
@angieholden great video! One question. I want to make a permanent screen. I haven’t bought it yet but If the screen is locked into the frame is it easy to remove so the vinyl can be permanently ironed onto the mesh?
Yep it is!
Can you use a heat press to set vs using iron? What temperature setting if that is the case
You definitely can! The ink usually has instructions.
Hey Angie! If I screen print on a tri-blend tee (thinking Bella Canvas or District), what temperature should I use for my heat press to set the ink?
Check with the instructions for whatever ink you are using.
Great video- what Bella + Canvas t-shirt do you use? Can you provide a link? Thank you!
I got it at Michaels but this video is older.
When you tape off a part of the design (like to only print the plant), which side of the screen do you tape off?
I tape off the top.
Do you think it's possible to use brushes in multicolor prints to be able to avoid using tape? Thank you in advance!
I am not sure if the brush will press it in well enough. You might experiment with a stencil brush as they have stiff bristles.
Nice video. I just did my first screen print, 4 samples on different materials. The screen still has a stain around it, is there a way to remove that? Thanx for the help. Imay have waited too long to wash it. It took maybe 5 minutes to print them all.
Some of the inks stain. It doesn't hurt anything though!
Have you done this on acrylic? If so, should you thin the acrylic paint with a medium?
I haven't used acrylic yet anyway!
Can I use my cricut heat press instead of an iron? About what temp?
You can! Generally the ink you use with have recommendations for heat setting.
Your videos are so good. Was your shirt poly/cotton, all cotton, or all poly? Or does it matter?
It doesn't matter.
What type of paper transfer tape u using and can u use medium to high
I would use just regular tack and I am unsure of the brand.
You made the comment that you can iron on the vinyl to the screen to make it permanent. Where do you get the replacement screen and what temp would you iron the vinyl on to it so you can keep it to use over and over.
You can get replacement screen on Amazon. And I would use the instructions for adding HTV to silk. Check your brand of HTV and what they recommend.
I looked, but couldn’t find if you have shown screen print with more than one color.
I did the zipper pouch with more than one. My friend Jennifer with Pigskins and Pigtails is the place to go for more in depth screen printing!
How would you apply the HTV onto the screen?
Just press as usual with a heat press or EasyPress or iron.
Did you say this method is temporally? Like does if fade off after several wash?
The shirts are permanent. The screens are temporary if made with the adhesive vinyl.
Can you silk screen multicolors?
You can but it is easier if you have special equipment.
You said use you iron and it’s temperature but what if your using a EasyPress?? What temp? How long?
320 degrees F for about 40 seconds should be fine. You can check the speedball website for specifics.
How long and temp would you recommend for the cricut heat press?
Definitely look on the ink you are using as they are all different.
Hi Angie,
I just found you on Pinterest and found the supplies needed but I wanted to ask if you can screen print on dish towels that are terry cloth or other kitchen towels? Or does it have to be the flour sack towel?
Thank you again,
Carol
It gets tricky as they are bumpy and your transfer may not be as clear if that makes sense?
@@AngieHolden
Ok thank you Angie!
Can you screen print on a polyester shirt? Will the ink crack?
You can! It should be fine!
is this more cost effective and more time effective comparing to heat press HTV
It would be if you have a bunch of one thing to make.
how many layers have you done on one shirt
I am NOT great at layers but I have seen people do a bunch!
I tried doing this yesterday, and my first one csme out faded so i thought it wasnt enough paint, the 2nd one came out with too much paint and parts of the design was clumpy. Any advice???
Practice! It is a fine line between not enough and too much!
this is first time ive seen this video ... Can you use any shirt
Yes any shirt!
2nd Q. Would this technique be cheaper than sublimation?
I have not went through the costs of each. Sorry!!
Can you use heat press instead of an iron?
Yep definitely!
Is there any reason you didn't use the easy press to set it?
My iron was closer! You can use either one!
Does silk screening last longer than iron vinyl?
I have never actually tested it. Sorry!
Hello Angie, should the shirt be 100% cotton or polyester for the screen printing???
It doesn't matter!
What size is your screen?
What setting is your iron on?
I would iron on the right setting for the fabric. So cotton/poly in this case.
So if you use iron on that means it won't come off the screen correct?
It shouldn't!
So you weeded the vinyl?
Yes before applying to the screen.
What type of Cricut do you use? Thanks!
I have several different Cricut machines so all of them! You can use any of them for a project like this.
