Hi Angela :) great tutorial as always, you always explain things so clearly and makes following easy to understand :) love the cricut easy press mini....what I find a little disappointing is that they didn't include a timer, that would of been excellent...maybe they might make another one including a timer in the future that would be awesome :) thank you for sharing this video, was very interesting and helpful :) would like to see you use it with infusable ink :) Happy creating and have a nice day :) magz :)
I saw on HSN They put it only for 20 and rubbed instead of pressed. Came out nice. Then they did the 15sec. Rub like you did in the end except they didn’t press it just rubbed it with the mini.
Thank you for great video. I am thinking of getting an EasyPress to use on projects like t-shirts, coasters and bags so nothing too big! Would you recommend mini press or next size up easypress?
I wish Cricut would cater for Australia....been asking about it for over a year now and still nothing its a shame as I would buy a lot of their products, and I am sure many would too that live in Aussie Cricut has some awesome products, but unfortunately Australians can't buy them as they only cater for U.S Canada and UK....oh well can keep hoping.... Cricut are losing out, losing a lot of custom .... keep up the great videos love them :) Thanks again :) magz :)
Hi lovely. Thanks for your video. It was very useful as I’ve just recently purchased Cricut mini press. May I ask if you have to purchase a particular brand of canvas shoes to work on or will it work just as well on any plain canvas shoe? I’m asking because I’ve also purchased the mug press and I’m told that I need to purchase specific mug blanks to create with the mug press. Thanks in advance. X
It works so much better with a shoe form. If you are going to be doing shoes a lot, it is worth the cost and time to go and buy and form from a store. You can buy and sometimes get old ones the stores are throwing away. Just ask. Great tutorial! YOU ROCK!
Amazon carries them starting at $3.99 and up. But again, some stores give their old ones away. Thanks for such a great tutorial, this comment was meant to help. L Have a blessed day.
Great tutorial! I am now convinced this is the one I definitely want. I have to confess, though, I found an almost identical product on Amazon. It has heat and timer functions and is less expensive.
I will definitely be getting this too. But I noticed where you pressed on the shoes the surrounding are puckered. Did it stay that way after it cooled?
Ok this maybe a little off topic or not....I knit and was wondering can you apply things to a knitted project using the mini press? I’m new to knitting and was just wondering.
Hi Angie. First of thank you for all of the the instructional videos you provide to fellow crafters. I have been wanting to do shoes for quite some time, but I still have my doubts about the mini. I noticed your shoes bubbled, which is something I want to avoid. I also tried a certain paint that had to be heat set and the same thing happened with the fabric bubbling up. Is there any way to avoid this that you know of? Maybe I’m too picky, but to me those bubbles ruin the look of the shoes no matter how cute the design.
@@AngieHolden I will start hunting and if I find something that works I will let you know. Thank you for your quick response!! Have a great Easter weekend 😊
Seems like the heat made the canvas seperate from the lining of the shoe. You can see the bubbles on surface of the shoe underneath the area that was pressed.
With heat transfer vinyl, the transfer paper comes on it. You can see more about general HTV directions here: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE--S6DzXe5p64.html
@@AngieHolden great video! I had a question I noticed that the canvas looked warped after you applied iron on. Will it go back to normal once cooled and worn? Thanks!
An iron does Not distribute heat evenly at all, but all of the easypresses do. Also the iron does not have a way to control the exact temperature but the easy press does. The only one that does not let you control the exact temperature to the exact degree is the mini but they have it made where the low, medium and high temp is a set temperature so really they all set to an exact degree. The other easy presses you can set a timer as well as pick the exact temperature you want, down to a specific degree. example would be say you want 377 degrees you can do that which is extremely helpful. And they all have the Teflon smooth plates and even heat distribution. None of which you can do with an iron and remember and iron does not have even heat distribution. I've also ran into a problem with irons is the little holes on the bottom of the iron that you can have steam come out end up leaving an imprint in your vinyl and material of that imprint if you use that part of the iron which really sucks.
