I will testify that this is truth!!! I totally ruined a T-shirt by getting my materials confused and I pressed too high for too long...but I LEARNED and that’s valuable!
We use about 175 celcius for 15 sec and medium/high pressure because we use a teflon sheet and are having the best success with that (using the same heatpress as seen in this video).
I’m so glad I found your website and videos before I do my first ever project! Man there are a lot of people giving the wrong advice. Can’t wait to get started with my Cricut Maker, Easypress and what will no doubt soon be massive Siser stash! :D
So glad I found this video. I'm not going to lie I hated yalls vinyls 🥴 But I take it back now! I saw this video and realized that you guys were totally acting like me in the first few seconds lol. I thought that if I left the heat on longer and pressed hard and then threw it in the heat press machine that my vinyls would stick. And they always peeled off even before the first wash... I didn't know that you could damage the adhesive... Lol I hope you guys accept my apology 😂😂😂😂
Thanks for this. I bought a Cricut Easy Press after winning an HTV pack from your Facebook page and their instructions say front AND back. Which I thought seemed like too much, but maybe that was for their vinyl. Or they are giving bad instructions??? Anyways, can we have more tutorials on tips for pressure using the EasyPress? I thought we need to see the impression of the fabric through the material, so have been extra pressing. I've only made shirts for my kid and myself, so not a big deal yet. Still learning!
We hope you enjoyed the Siser products! As for your questions, their instructions may be pertaining to their products, but we know a lot of our customers use the EasyPress but follow those same instructions with our products. We just wanted to make sure that its addressed that it is not necessary to apply that same way with Siser HTV.
@@SiserNorthAmerica Glad I am learning this early on. Think there was only one I did that way. I did see something I pressed that had the adhesive come out as you showed.
Yeah so I did get too much pressure on a baby shirt I did yesterday. I dislike greatly this whole medium, light, hard pressure thing. Give me a numeric value and I'll buy equipment to measure it. I adjusted my heat press to what I thought was medium and didn't repeat the paper test that everyone claims is medium pressure ... still subjective btw ... and I see the glue from my top layer pressing out onto my bottom layer. Do I need to trash this baby shirt or is it likely it will hold for the 1 or 2 wears babies get out of clothes this size before growing out of them? 305* for 15 seconds easyweed on easyweed with a 5 second tack for my bottom layer before the full press on the top layer.
I wish I would have seen this before I did my shirts. Unfortunately, I was the guy at the beginning. :( I’ve been using Cricut HTV and there you have to press at 330 minimum so I assumed it was the same thing
This means that you are getting uneven pressure somewhere...You need to make sure the area you are pressing on is even and flat. If you are using a home iron or an EasyPress, you have to make sure you are still using force to press down. This could also mean that your iron is not getting to the correct temperature.
My question is regarding Reflective heat transfer sheet. The problem is once its washed, looks like the print is loosing its reflective ability (NOT peeling off, print area is intact still) Is it due to washing conditions or it isn't pressed properly? I think I press it like 3 to 5 sec, should I press for 10-15 sec to avoid it? Or its just due to wash?
Help! I have messed up multiple shirts. I applied htv for 10 sec. At 305 with a cricut heat press and my htv looks like it sumgged. Idk what I'm doing wrong.
I just printed out the PDF on application. It shows the htv stretch as requiring 320° for 20sec and a firm press. I'm using a Tusy press for application onto a Bella canvas shirt. I'm still having letters peel. Any tips for this issue. Thanks👍
You can see when its over heated...it usually looks weathered and warped. The adhesive tends to evaporate and you lose its bond. Not all scenarios looks exactly the same. You can always reach out to our Tech Support by email Support@siserna.com and we can assist you with any Siser HTV you may be having issues with :)
Are there different conditions when working with POLYESTER. I am referring to SCORCH MARKS. I've watched the STAHLS videos and they all lead to purchasing a new machine with the LOWER Platen heating element. HELP...!!!
I don’t know why it can’t just be written on the paper insert that is wrapped in the roll. It says absolutely nothing about temp and that makes no sense.
Hello, I have a question. I recently tried HTV on a shirt for the first time, but the vinyl came out wrinkly in certain areas. Do you know what could have caused this?
Siser HTV (and I am 99% sure all heat transfer vinyl) has the transfer tape on the vinyl itself. You do not need to transfer it like you would with regular 651 vinyl
You have to wait until its bitter cold to peel the carrier! Please feel free to reach out to our Tech Support by emailing Support@siserna.com and we can help you further :)
Hello. First, thanks for this video. Second, please tell me how can I prevent my HTV from buckling once I put on my shirts. I use my easy press, stretch htv, a portable table and press pad. It presses beautifully but once I put on the shirt it buckles around my breast area. Should I stretch out the shirt first? Thank you kindly in advance.
Stretching the shirt is causing the buckling....unfortunately, once you stretch the garment with the EasyWeed Stretch, it is going to cause that "ripple" look. You can repress is to take out those wrinkles.
Please show some wash results using the different machines to validate your claims. I've seen testing and wash results from other companies that provide different information then what is in this video.
@@tommynationofficial Just my thought…but temp guns are not very accurate when reading shiny metals. It might be better to quickly measure the fabric after applying the heat.
