Finally! Someone who gives a clear, simple tutorial and you don't talk slow with weird tangents and unnecessary stories. My ADHD self thanks you so much!
U give a great description on how to use I have watched like 20 videos before I came across yours and still didn't understand until I watched it video thank you so much!!!!!@@simplyshy
AWESOME VIDEO! Straight to the point without unnecessary stupid stories, stopping to talk to your dog and all the other BS I've had to suffer through on countless UA-cam videos! THANK YOU!
I just got my press and have watched at least 50 hours of video on how to use. i got tips from you that i didn't get on any other video such as the ruler thing. heat press pillow, haven't seen any body really talk about that. Thank you.
Thank you so much! I bought mine months ago and haven't touched it because I literally didn't know how to use it. Thank you again for this straightforward tutorial!
found your channel by surfing UA-cam for how to fix my Swing Arm as it is stuck. very well put together video and simplicity of the use of this machine is spot on.
This is such a wonderful tutorial - informative and detailed. Loved the helpful hints in using the heat press and the tips and tricks at the end! I am ready and excited to use my heat press. Thank you so much!
Very informality without a bunch of fluff :) exactly what I needed to use my new press ! I appreciate all the work you put into this video. Thank you so much.
Thank you!!! I have watched so many videos about those pads both silicone and foam, didn’t even know what they were called. How to use them or simple things about the press. Awesome video!!!
Thanks boop for the lovely review. I have been debating about doing tutorials because everyone comes to me for help. I think I'll find someone with a contagious personality to host it tho
I'm not sure how I found your video, but I'm so thankful I did!!! My heat press is identical to yours unfortunately, the instructions with the press were not very clear, and hard to understand. Your video was great and very helpful. Thank you!!
Yours is the most complete video i've found on this press , Thank You so much. "Time saved is time spent on something else" Love it . BTW Work smart not hard !
Thank you so much for explaining the swing away. It is frustrating trying to go through videos, and everyone has the clamp. You explain very well. Now, 3 questions I have. 1. Where do you get your transfer vinyal from? 2. Which program do you use to make the image? 3. How to do big images like for adults shirts that's like 3xl & up?
No problem! 1. Mostly all of my vinyl came from Micheals it’s siser HTV 2.Abode illustrator but if your not really good a designing you can try canva 3. I use a 12X24 mats and just turn the image sideways. But there are bigger cutting machines other then cricut there called plotters
11/30/21: OMG, SimplyShy, my friend and I were blown away how well you presented this tutorial. It was absolutely thorough, straight to the point and wonderful. I'm thinking about getting one because it seems like a good tool to have and I can think of many things to do with it. Lawd help me! Although your "Birthday Girl" design may have appeared too high for you (you know best), it looked fabulous to us and I loved the font. Thank you for sharing this with everyone and Happy Holidays!
@@simplyshy I do have a question or two before I commit to getting this tool. First, which one did you purchase and how much is it? I ask because there are SO many heat press machines when I plug in the word "Swing Away Heat Press" and it's overwhelming; don't want to get the wrong one and would like to get the one you've got. And secondly, can I heat press rhinestones with this tool onto a t-shirt or a pant leg? I'm good to go after I get your answers. Thank you again!
@@conishkee There is a lot on there smh this is the one I got amzn.to/3lpPFy0.....Also, about the rhinestone I have never did it but I feel like you should be good because they can be pressed on any standard heat press.As long as they are have a transfer and are the heat safe ones.
@@simplyshy Wow, great price and I don't need anything real fancy, just something to get the job done for my hobbies. Love the idea that I can work with rhinestones, and I know which "safe" ones you're referring to so, thanks again for everything SS! 😊
Hello SimplyShy, can you tell me how to get my press to swing? Ive misplaced the manual and cant find it online anywhere. How do I unlock the press to make it swing in the 360???? Thanks for your help, Te Shauna
Hi, so I just lifted up the latch and it should be able to swing left or right. Just make sure it’s a swing away heat press and not a clam shell ( the one that goes up and down)
Thank you for the amazingly useful videos!!! How do you keep the orange foam and white composite pads from sliding around when you thread shirts on to it?
Thank you that was very helpful. Do you have videos on troubleshooting your heat press. We have the same model and my temperature setting won't let me go lower then 200 or higher than 220. Thank you
Great on explaining how to work the heat press. I put my design on and pressed it. It didn't stick to the shirt. Am I using the wrong transfer tape or is there a special transfer tape to use.
Click the side button to turn it off, and unplug it. Never keep it plug in when it’s not in use … it should take about 5-10 mins to cool down depending on how hot it was.
I find that sometimes the teflon sheet leaves a "roughed up pattern" on my vinyl, so I do the second press (after peeling away the transfer paper) with parchment paper...is that something that can be done on the big heat press too? I just got one and haven't tried it yet; have been using the cricut minipress. Thanks for the video! I feel waaaaay more confident about using my press for the first time; fingers crossed!
That’s funny sometimes my teflon would leave a little pattern on my vinyl as well... I have never used parchment before on my press tho but now I might lol ! I’m happy that you feel better about. I had the cricut mini press and I hated it 😩
I just got a vevor and the top plate wobbles when i open it and seems to not close evenly. I have not used it yet. Apparently I'm not the only one who has this issue. I had to adjust ut seems somewhat better but not totally
I used siser vinyl in this video I brought that from Michaels and just cut it with my Cricut. But if your looking for transfers you can try TKO Sales or Transfer Express.
Please please help! I just got my heat press and cricut (looks like this model) I used it a few times and it was great but then I went to use it and swung the top out to lay the shirt down and it flipped over 😭 off the able I had it on. Thankfully it's not broken but even on a big table or the flat floor when turned out it falls over?? 🤔
@@simplyshy what type of paper do they use for air freshener? The actual air freshener itself because the sublimation sheet is for the transfer? (Am I right)
Awesome video! Great information. I just received my Vevor 6 in 1 heat press. Could you please let me know how you keep the base stable? When I swing the top around 180 degrees the base will lift up. I assuming because the top is heavier that the base. How do I fix that problem? I don’t want to burn myself trying to switch out shirts. Any advice is appreciated. Thank you
How do you raise the top platen, mine is really close to the bottom without the pads and also when I swing the top out, the heat press is about to fall over. HELP please!
I just got a swing away press ,I tried the instructions with my DTF design but it didn’t come off so I tried again but with more heat and the paper and all stuck to the shirt
I have never had this problem, but I have heard people talk about it. Basically just make sure that the screws that are on top of the press are tight if there not add a washer to tighten them.
Great video! Very helpful! Do you mind saying what brand it is? I just bought a Vevor 5 in 1 swing-a-way 15 x 15. It came today and is still in the box. I just had eye surgery and can't lift for a while, so I'm trying to learn this way in the meantime.
Thank you so much for this video. I just bought a Vevor 5 in 1 heat press. I need this! Now, I just don't know where to put it in my tiny apartment. I have a heavt set of Sterlite shelves. Would it be safe on a middle shelf? It's about 18 inches in height.

Hello dear This is so nice am looking forward to getting one. so how many times can i use the transfer paper then lastly how can i get it and at how much does it cost Am completely a beginner but i operate a stationary shop though i what to expand
Hi, so the heat transfer vinyl only last 1 cut out per shirt. I wish I had a video on how to make a Heat Transfer vinyl shirt so that you can see it :(. A roll of vinyl is around $10-$16 but everything I used in this video is linked in the description.
the top plate of my heat press does not go all the way down to the bottom plate, it is not the pressure that needs adjusting. It is just too high. what is the fix? what is the knob on the back of the machine for. Somehow my top plate got too high (my son used it) and Icant figure out how to adjust it back down
@@saidkhashan4850 Okay just a heads up I have a video on how to actually apply the vinyl to the shirt ua-cam.com/video/tQLy7piMxmE/v-deo.html , this has a lot to do with how it holds up when washing.
Hi, thank you for your presentation. AM thinking of getting a heat press also. How is it holding up so far? Am also hoping your business s thriving. :)
@@simplyshy Thank you for your quick reply. AM very happy your business is still thriving. For shirts, would you say a 15X15 would be large enough? I don't want to purchase anything too large, because it would be very heavy. What size do you think is ideal?
I had a similar press in the beginning, but the 8 in 1 one. Unfortunately the built quality was really shitty. Idk for sure, but I'm thinking this one will exhibit the same problems one day. The first problem was the closing latch. the nits it's connected with broke after around a year of use. after 2 years the base broke. It definitely started deforming way before that, but the design makes it hard to see. The whole base metal was deformed., bushing the metal rod back away from the plate. Also another thing is - this one requires more grease in my experience and it ended up on the clothes more than once... I never got to use the rest of the attachments, because I couldn't get the main one to detach. I currently have a clamshell and the built quality is waay better. The way it's built also makes it impossible to deform like this one.

Hi, I don’t make air freshener but on a video I watched she set the heat press to 385 for 15 seconds. I hope that helps!
@@simplyshy what type of paper do they use for air freshener? The actual air freshener itself because the sublimation sheet is for the transfer? (Am I right)
@@haroon2580 I’m not sure here’s a video ua-cam.com/video/9AU_aH9-1sQ/v-deo.html
What a good transfer paper and easy to use???
I’m not really sure I don’t use transfer papers. As of right now I only use vinyl.
Awesome video! Great information. I just received my Vevor 6 in 1 heat press. Could you please let me know how you keep the base stable? When I swing the top around 180 degrees the base will lift up.

Thank you ! I had no problem with mine being unbalanced….Is the feet attached to it ?
You just have to swing it away a little slower. My 15x15 one will occasionally lift if I swing it fast. Just take your time and swing it slowly.
I bought a vevor hp and when i open it the top wobbles and when it closes it doesn't close evenly is this normal

How do you raise the top platen, mine is really close to the bottom without the pads and also when I swing the top out, the heat press is about to fall over. HELP please!
Hey so the knob at the top turns and that allows the platen to move up or down.
@@simplyshy thank you!

I dont know if its normal but my heatpress the top plate is very wobbly, anyway to fox that or is just how it is?
I have never had this problem, but I have heard people talk about it. Basically just make sure that the screws that are on top of the press are tight if there not add a washer to tighten them.
@@simplyshy yeah there is a screw but it's at the bottom that's why I didn't see it before XD thank you so much.

what size is that heat press? it looks perfect!
Hey is a 12X15
Do u need that brown sheet over the shirt when u press it or can u do it without that sheet
It depends are you pressing vinyl or transfers ?
@@simplyshy just transfers
How do you keep it from tilting?
I never had a problem with it tilting, just make sure all 4 of the feet are on tight.Sorry if that doesn't help.

Hey Susan, most likely the handle is bent after so much use and pressure the handle bends and doesn’t allow it to close down all the way.

What’s a good app to design on ?
Photoshop, but canva is really easy if your just starting out
