Girl we tried this method and BOOM MAJIC! I messed up several shirts and now I feel better. Thank u!

[@MrsSanctified84]

Won't the iron leave a big iron print on the back???

[@summerr350]

MrsSanctified84 nope

[@MrsSanctified84]

I tried it, and it worked! Thank you!

[@FairyTaleMMD]

Won't it Burn?

[@summerr350]

@@FairyTaleMMD my project did not burn. If you are afraid that it might burn I would just do a couple things at a time, take it off then put it back on and just repeat it. Try not to leave it on for too long but I think you’ll be fine.

[@princestevie1271]

Thanks so much! 3 years later, you’re still helping others! This was much needed & appreciated!!!

[@danaess]

Thank you soooo much! I was halfway though my project and almost fainted when I realized I placed “2002” instead of “2020”

[@blessymable]

you are a LIFE SAVER. Totally messed up with my iron on & THIS SAVED ME. You rock, thanks for that super effective tip.

[@kaylacarin]

Literally going to cry. This worked so well. Like im so shocked. I can’t thank you enough 😭

[@woemace8573]

This video SAVED my moms sweater I made her for her birthday!! Accidentally left a piece of vinyl between the spaces on my “M” & didn’t catch it til I ironed it! Thank you so much for showing us & thoroughly explaining exactly what to do!!

[@denisemccrimmon469]

This absolutely worked. I just messed up and searched to find a way to remove vinyl....I found this and did it as I watched it. Saved me, my order has to be finished tonight. It worked perfectly. Thank you

[@dianacarberry1]

You just saved me from a serious melt down!!! Thank you so much for your tip it worked a treat, just now need to figure out how to get rid of the glue. xxx

[@amandachalmers552]

I never leave comments but this worked amazingly well! I used this on a canvas bag and I was able to get the vinyl off very quickly. Thanks for the tip!

[@debbielewis5122]

Printed a beautiful shirt this morning and didn't realize some extra vinyl was left on the edge. Every tip I read to remove didn't work until I came across your video. Worked like a charm! Thx!!

[@tasg1564]

Oh my gosh! Thank you SO much for this! My mood was completely ruined yesterday when my cut went wrong like 3 times and then my HTV didn’t stick well on my fabric pouch, for some reason it half stuck and half didn’t. I thought if I continued to heat the pouch/vinyl with my heat press it would soften the glue enough for me to remove all the vinyl off but that obviously didn’t work. I thought I would have to write off the pouch completely but seeing your vid has been a lifesaver! I tried this method with my hand held steamer (its smaller than an iron which is great for the size of the pouch I’m dealing with) and it’s really helping the vinyl to lift off. I have a few residue marks but because I’m going to be putting the exact same design on the pouch again it’ll get covered so that’s not an issue for me. Thanks so much for sharing this tip; it’s really lifted my mood, saved my project AND my sanity! ♥️

[@sherrihaller435]

Just saved my shirt after weeding a very difficult sunflower in glitter! Thank you from the bottom of my heart!!!

[@jeneane8856]

YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER!!! I’m so happy I found your video! I had a tiny piece of vinyl I missed in a letter. The tiny dot popped right off!!! Thank you!!!!!!!

[@forveryoungdisciples6784]

Super super helpful! Easy, quick, to the point, and saved my hoodie! Thanks lady 👍🏻

[@aiyanabaker2863]

You are a heaven sent! I was making a client's order, messed up, and didn't want to throw a whole sweatshirt out

[@Jaiblade]

OMG! You are a life saver! I had ironed on a work logo to many shirts as I already owned a cricut and it was expensive to let the company have the shirts embroidered. When I left, I tried everything to get the glue to release, multiple videos and how-tos. Nothing worked. You were the last video before I just gave up and it worked. In less than 20 minutes I had removed the logo from 5 shirts! Life saver! Thank you so much.

[@katherin7143]

you are a life saver literally just did my first shirt ever then realized I put the words in the wrong order thank you so much. this definitely worked!

[@katiemctammany4429]

I see that this video is from 2018 and it just saved my life!!!! You are amazing! My customer is picking up her shirts tomorrow and on the last shirt a straight line of vinyl that I didn't see got pressed on the shirt and I panicked. Thank you sooooooo much for sharing, it worked like a charm!

[@kathalyn56]

OMGEEEEE! One small weeding mistake and I thought the tshirt was ruined. This worked so quickly and easily! Shirt saved, no waste! Thank you, thank you, thank you!

[@NancyThurm]

Thank you, Nancy! This was extremely helpful and easy! I accidentally used Sportflex vinyl on a cotton shirt and when it did not adhere all the way, I realized what I did and needed to remove the whole thing. After watching your tutorial, I used my Cricut Heatpress at 315 degrees. I turned it upside down and laid the shirt over it. It worked beautifully!! Thank you so much!

[@Mom_for_real_life]

You literally just saved a project that I was about to lose sleep over! Less than 20 min and my project was saved entirely! Thank you so much for this!

[@lottiebanda7104]

[@elizul1221]

This was awesome! I needed to remove an oops from a long sleeve shirt and couldn’t fit it in an iron so I used my flat iron and it came right off. I’ve spent like an hour or more trying to pick off the vinyl before I watched this video.. Thank you.

[@kandacenoire]

[@joanhansen2190]

I want to let you know that I was so frazzled and actually threw a flour sack towel in the trash. I took a deep breath and cut myself some slack for being a beginner and I googled “how to lift iron on vinyl from fabric” and this video surfaced. So I went and got the towel out of the trash and tried this method you demonstrated. THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH! It worked perfectly!!

[@jillyjill3741]

Thank you so much! Found this today after a small piece of scrap HTV somehow got transferred on a shirt that was double layered front & back. I didn’t think it was going to be saved 😭 this made my week!

[@debellis9338]

thank you SO much for this tip. you really saved this momma! i messed up my daughter's shirt and was near tears! found your video and you saved the day! my boo boo was off in seconds! took longer for the iron to heat up than it did to remove the vinyl once it was warm!

[@lakishacampbell516]

This helped me so much!! I had already put htv on a new shirt for a customer before I realized there was a small hole in the shirt. I was able to remove htv with your help....now I'm going to return this shirt....yup I sure am....thank you

[@elianisbullion2578]

[@trondamurphy1346]

[@jesikathomas7855]

I’m so glad I found this! I completely messed up a pair of shoes I was working on and was so afraid I would have to ditch them! Thank you for sharing!

[@Amanda-zo2ks]

Ok but how do you remove the adhesive left behind? I can see exact lines of where the vinyl was peeled off

[@shelleygentile5483]

I have two shirts I need to correct. Your video tip provides relief that I can fix my problem. Thank you!!!

[@theflojs]

Thank you so much. This worked like a charm. No chemicals needed.

[@magdalenalezanska1831]

Ohhh mmmmm geeee I just want to say thank you thank you thank you. Your trick worked!! I was able to fix a shirt that I just finished ironing and realized there was a scrap piece attached to my logo. Thank you so much. Saved me so much hassle ❤❤❤

[@hylkedanckaers7868]

Thank you! This worked so wel. Had a little piece from weeding that shouldn’t be there and I got it off thanks to you!

[@amberchemerys2349]

Thank you for this tutorial! You just saved two shirts I made for my daughter. :)

[@jaredcallahan3655]

THIS IS AMAZING. Had some company work shirts with small logos and this did the trick for all 3 of them. Would most definitely recommend to try. Be careful with dry-fit material… it may stretch out if you wrap it too tight around the iron

[@lindagarcia4596]

Totally works! Where there was a little residue left, was because I started peeling before it was completely warm so as a suggestion make sure it is really warm and it almost falls off by itself

[@dorothykerr7293]

THANK YOU!!! This saved my shirt! Cricut changed a saved file and a section was no longer attached in a logo statement, and I didn't notice until it was already on.

[@Gnakeita]

Wow!!! So happy I found your video. I messed up a backpack and now it is saved!

[@adrianashelton488]

Omg! I don't have a home iron so I used my heat press and put the shirt over that. I missed a piece while weeding and it came off so quickly and no residue. You're awesome!

[@hectorgarduno3002]

This video saved me an hour of work!!! Beautiful!

[@sugarhillcrafter1044]

Thank you!! I had a shirt that I wasn't happy with ~ and your tip saved it for me! I was able to peel the HTV off and don't think the residual is too noticeable. I was afraid I would have to toss the project.

[@jmillhou]

This technique is awesome and very simple. It worked like a charm on a dishtowel that I messed up!

[@debbiehadley9700]

Thank you so much, I had 4 orders for custom t-shirts and 3 of them had a strip of red htv glitter, it worked, thank goodness

[@melodycoleman1754]

This video is awesome! I thought I’d ruined my daughter’s T-shirt with one wrong letter. Your video is so easy to follow! Thank you!

[@patriciamayne-schlachtun4315]

It worked! I was sure that tote bag was ruined. The adhesive on the vinyl had gone bad and didn't adhere fully when I pulled the backing off. What a mess. I fixed it. Then did it all over again and decided the vinyl was bad. Thanks for the awesome tip!

[@triciarabine6217]

[@parkerclark9241]

This is perfect I made shirts for me and a friend and I forgot to size theirs down they wear a small and I made a large for myself. I made them at 1 am and after that I went to sleep and when I woke up at 6am I had a bad feeling about it, but it took until 7:50 for me to realize what was wrong. Ontop of that I bought the shirts on clearance so I wasn't able to replace it you are a life saver.

[@aliciawilliams2996]
