In this video, Jessica goes over how to use a home iron with heat transfer vinyl. In this demonstration, she uses Easyweed, one of Expressions Vinyl’s most popular HTV’s. You can check it out on our website! goo.gl/RuvuU9
A few things to take into consideration when using a home steam iron is the steam holes. Make sure to avoid the steam holes when pressing down on your vinyl. You want a nice flat surface to apply even pressure.
A lot of people think that more heat for a longer time is best when using Heat Transfer Vinyl, but this isn’t the case. A good temperature for EasyWeed is about 300 degrees or a little below the cotton setting. You also want to make sure there is no water in your iron and that everything is completely dry.
A fun trick to make sure your vinyl is centered is to fold your shirt down the middle and line your vinyl up with the crease. You’ll get your vinyl centered every time!
After your vinyl is centered, put some multi-use paper on top of your vinyl and press down for 10-15 seconds putting a lot of pressure behind it.
Make sure not to have the heat too high or to hold the iron down for too long, that can ruin the adhesive backing. Let us know if you have any questions in the comments below! Thanks for watching!
