Thanks for explaining the vinyl. Could you make recommendations on the correct surfaces for each vinyl. I recently got a bundle with my new Maker & was disappointed that 95% of the vinyl included is ‘every day iron on’, & only one roll of premium vinyl🤔not quite sure what to use it on or how to use it?

[@BigIslandBuddy]

Mahalo for this video - the info and speed for me to learn and understand without feeling stupid

[@paularaulinaitis3068]

I've only used the permanent vinyl and the iron on (flagship) a long time ago, but I'm excited to use the others. Especially the chalkboard....such a cool idea.

Do they no loger offer Outdoor vinyl? If not what would you recommend to be put on a flower pot that will be outside?

[@meaganodell4479]

You can use the 651 vinyl from 651 vinyl.com or premium vinyl from circuit, I think everyday as long as it's permanent.

[@SharoninKentucky]

Thanks so much for the vinyl info. Just so I get this right. I am making a t-shirt template to lay on top of my artwork to make sure it’s straight and centered. I’m using the Dollar Tree clear/frosted cutting mat so I want this to be permanent. I want to cut the pattern with permanent black vinyl an stick on mat. I have Blackboard black and removable Mat Premium Vinyl, which should I use or order something else.

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Hello! So, it's not much about the vinyl as it is about the texture of the cutting mat. With it being frosted and textured the vinyl will have issues sticking to the mat.

[@ssharp11]

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

This is so helpful for us newbies! Once you open these packs- do you suggestions on how to keep/store these so you know what type they are ? Especially removable vs permanent? I’m planning all my organizing and though I’m a great organizer I’m afraid I’ll have these all messed up 😬.

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Here you go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fHKQlH6rfJ6cZ68 :) Also, we recommend using a sharpie to write on the backing of the sheets what exactly it is, to help not make you so confused!

Great video, thank you! I am wondering what type of vinyl to use to put on the glass of a shadowbox? I tried and it ended up just looking like a decal. I see other shadowboxes and it looks painted on. I used removable vinyl and transfer tape. Maybe it needed to be matte, not glossy?

Which one is best for crewnecks and like clothing? And is iron on for like irons and the cricut heat press thing or just an iron?

Hello! You'll want to use HTV for something like that. Here's where we get ours: www.143vinyl.com/12-inch-x-12-inch-siser-heat-transfer-vinyl-sheets/ . Also, here's a beginner video all about how to use HTV properly :) kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5WQiWOXp7-hp8k .

But can we use the regular vinyl on mugs,glass etc. What's the CRICUT JOY SMART VINYL & IRON ON LONGEVITY?

Thank you so much for this video! Would the removable premium vinyl be the best choice for labels on a metal/steel plate for a product label and warning sticker?? A black label.

[@angdawn6185]

The video was informative, but looking for a video that could explain all the quirks with layering the different types of iron-on vinyl in any given project. I read somewhere about everyday iron-on being the only type you can layer on top of, but would appreciate a more detailed explanation.

Is siser glitter vinyl a lot different than Cricut glitter vinyl? I used premium vinyl setting, regular Cricut transfer tape and a blue mat, no issues.

What kind of vinyl would use if you wanted to make stickers or label, or are all vinyl's made with the adhesive backgrounds that stick to objects

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

All Adhesive Vinyls have a sticky side, yes :) For labels and decals you can use regular adhesive vinyl or printable vinyl.

[@rebaporter1032]

Thank you for this important guide. The one missing is adhesive vinyl. Where does it fit in the scheme of vinyls? I just finished my first project and put it on wood. Was the the correct type to use on wood?

If I only have removable matte and I'm making a outdoor sign would it be better to use permanent? Or could I use the premium vinyl removable

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Good question! We cannot tell a huge difference between the adhesive of the different types of vinyls. Our favorite is Oracal 651. If you're making an outdoor sign I always recommend sealing your finished project, no matter what type of vinyl you use. It will really help with longterm durability of the project :)

What about transfer vinyl? Are they all the same? Or do transfer vinyl comes in different thickness or brands?

[@melodymedlock160]

I’m confused already and the video just started. I heard you say (and even turned on subtitles to see if I heard correctly) that the Holographic Vinyl is NOT removable and is NOT premium vinyl but that it is just regular vinyl. I thought non-removable was premium vinyl? I have been searching high and low for permanent holographic vinyl. My roll of Cricut brand holographic vinyl states that it IS “ideal for making removable decals, labels, window decor, media covers” and so on. I’m searching for holographic permanent vinyl for a window decal on a car. Is this stuff good for that or not? Does permanent holographic vinyl exist? I thought I knew what I had until you explained it. I greatly appreciate any helpful answers I receive. 😊
