[@Louisianagirl_1126]

Thank you Jennifer for doing the testing of the products and techniques for us. GREAT jobs that you and your crew do. All is appreciated.

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you so much! I have the best team ever!🥰

[@JackieSmithson-xu5qq]

The cricket shirts I've purchased ran small. I had to buy XL for someone who wears a medium. Thanks for all the help and info Jennifer.

[@JenniferMaker]

They do run very small.

[@jnjhawaii5879]

I love that you did this comparison!! Shocked to see the winner!!!

[@JenniferMaker]

I hope you found it helpful🥰

[@kathrynmorgan8301]

This really helps Jennifer - I like comfy shirts but also want the sublimation to last.

[@JenniferMaker]

So glad to hear it! 💗

[@memorikeck2411]

Hello Jennifer! Thank you for your amazing Tutorials and sharing the things that could be frustrating and very time consuming for a lot of us. You certainly make it much easier and I appreciate you and am sure most will agree. Thank you for all you do for your Crafty friends. Happy Crafting!🤗

[@JenniferMaker]

You are so sweet Dee!! Thank you so much for your kind words and being such a great supporter! See you at the next premiere!🥰

[@gailstube]

love the video. A little surprised at the results. Thanks for doing the hard work for us. :)

[@JenniferMaker]

You are so welcome!

[@law1379]

Thanks for this review. There are so many brands to choose from, it's hard to know which direction to go in. Cricut results are not surprising, however, I find their shirts run very very small almost 2 sizes too small. The extra large is more of a loose fit medium (pov). So I am forced to go elsewhere.

[@TanyaNelson70]

I agree... The Cricut shirts sub beautifully but they are extremely small .... The 2x fits like a large ...

[@JenniferMaker]

True. It is more like 2 sizes up.

[@chalondahicks3278]

Thank you for this video, it was fun to watch anticipating your winner of the shirts 😊

What a great resource! Thank you for taking the time to test these for us.

[@JenniferMaker]

[@athenagraeme5188]

Wow, I didn't realize the shirt would make a difference, but it makes perfect sense!

[@JenniferMaker]

It really does!🥰

[@sweetlyevil187]

I used 100% Gildan once and I hated them they were so thin and see through they looked really cheap. I hate cricut but the quality of their sublimation shirts is 10 out of 10

[@JenniferMaker]

It depends on the style of Gildan.

[@LisaVornhagen]

Thank you for doing these tests. It is very helpful and appreciated.

[@dawnstephens440]

Thank you so much for your great videos. I have a Epson SCF170 and I used your subliflower to test the colors and they are not vibrant. I changed the settings on my mac to color sync and clicked on my epson scf170 but they dont look great. What am I doing wrong? Should I print it on a shirt to see if the colors come out better?

[@JenniferMaker]

Could be a number of things. The color will change when heat is applied. jennifermaker.com/sublimation-color-problems/

Hello from Allentown PA

[@JenniferMaker]

hi!🥰

[@paulkyriakides144]

thank you for the wonderful video, Jennifer can you make stickers with a sublimation printer

[@JenniferMaker]

Yes, you need to find sublimation sticker sheets🥰

[@JenniferCasscles]

I love your videos. I have a question. I made a great graphic for my taekwondo class and after a few washes it is becoming blurry. Any suggestions. I used glow in the dark htv then hippo ink from my sawgrass

[@JenniferMaker]

The glow-in-the-dark HTV hasn't held up as well over time. This could be contributing to the blurriness you're seeing. You might want to try a different type of HTV, such as holographic or white glitter HTV, which have shown better durability. Here is an updated tutorial. jennifermaker.com/sublimate-dark-shirts/

[@Courtney-h5f]

Yes

[@nausheenahmed2800]

I'm new at this--What is the difference between sublimation and using infusible ink?

[@JenniferMaker]

Infusible ink is a type of sublimation that you can purchase in printed sheets. 🥰

[@000shades]

Thank you!

[@JenniferMaker]

My pleasure!

[@Wrightn221]

I use Jerzees t shirts and Cricut. I haven't washed Jerzees, so can't tell you what will happen. I do know, I will advise my customers to wash cold and hang. I also use a heat press, and press at 400 for 60 seconds.

[@JenniferMaker]

I'd love to know your results with the Jerzees shirt!🥰

[@Wrightn221]

@@JenniferMaker I will let you know. I have one that I will wash today.

[@Wrightn221]

[@davidscott358]

hello is there a certain time you should wait before you wash a sublimated shirt thank you David

[@JenniferMaker]

I like to wait 24hrs but really once it's sublimated you technically could wash right away 🥰

[@davidscott358]

@@JenniferMaker thank you

[@terrybernhard1773]

I used 100% polyester an did the sublimation but notice the sublimation is fading on my tshirts is there something else I need to do to make colors stay longer

[@JenniferMaker]

They should not fade with 100% polyester. Don't wash in hot water.

[@CindyPeters-k1k]

If you don’t have card stock to later in between, is there another option to use?

[@JenniferMaker]

You can put a few layers of butcher paper.

[@catherinelee4347]

Love these vids

[@JenniferMaker]

I'm so glad 🥰

[@PerhapsToday1111]

If you use white, I guess it doesn’t leave the scorch marks I’ve seen on color polyester shirts?

[@JenniferMaker]

That could depend on the press time or temperature or the type of heat transfer tape. There are more details on the blog post here. jennifermaker.com/best-shirts-for-sublimation/

[@mattlauer3661]

Great info

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you!🥰

[@LAVignassi]

I’ve noticed that the Cricut tshirt is way smaller…..i wear a 2xl and their 2xl are really small which is a bummer

[@JenniferMaker]

Sometimes you do have to size up, though their blanks seem on par with other sublimation blanks. 😊🌻

[@jilllampron]

Good video, but I tend to stay away from white. They sub great, yes, but they are see through. 😕 There needs to be a thicker poly shirt that's not see through. The Cricut shirts a EXTREMELY thin and see through!

[@JenniferMaker]

Yes, white shirts do tend to be see through sadly🥰

[@tjmt2000ify]

I'm having trouble finding 65+ polyester t-shirts. What's everyone's go to place?

[@JenniferMaker]

Amazon, Jiffyshirts are both popular places to get shirts🥰

[@feltthefluff]

I only use Cricut shirts, they are perfect, and thanks for doing this video Jennifer!

[@JenniferMaker]

I love the way they feel!🥰

[@christopherzamora2953]

How about 60% polyester and 40% cotton mam?

[@JenniferMaker]

Yes! It will work but may be a little more faded. I have done things on 50/50.
