I just got a joy in Dec 2023 so excited to have found your site on KZbin i am watching in South Africa. Love the way you explain everything carefully and easily and love that you are bold about your faith. God bless

[@halilenz4901]

I usually jump through videos. Thought there was no way it'd watch an entire 36 minute tutorial, but here I am, subscribed 💓

[@alfusca9824]

I often think this when I’m watching Bethany’s videos. It’s obvious she was have been a very patient, sweet kindergarten teacher ❤️.

[@DawnalynForrest]

This is my first video with you. I love how you were thorough with each step. Thank you

[@jenniegray985]

Awesome!! You are so thorough and I really appreciate that. Saying a little prayer over everything always works.

[@rdfrasier]

Love this tutorial. Thank you for being so thorough and including all the details. I’m new at this so this is super helpful.

[@Arielcmr]

Thank you for this tutorial!! I was really curious about the infusable ink process and now feel confident in trying it. And I'll make sure to add a little prayer too to make sure it works for me as well x

[@Bethadilly]

Celia yes, it’s a really fun process and the results are amazing! I just invested in a lot of infusible ink, so I am excited my first time worked so well!

[@vtaylor1992]

’ve just got into crafting and bought my own cricut joy. I’ve watch quite a few KZbinrs and found it quite frustrating when they skip over steps and information because they assume you know what you’re doing. Your video was amazing! So informative, I literally found this video so interesting, informative and I really understood what you was doing and why. I feel as a complete newbie I could do this myself now. You’ve gained a new follower - thanks!!

[@lynnstasenka1697]

Thank you for your instructions. They are so complete and easy to understand. You are a great teacher.

[@tpennyful]

Thank you so much for sharing this. I have the cricut joy and the cricut maker but I have yet to use the infusible ink. I dont know why I guess I thought it was too complicated but you made it really easy to understand. I ordered cricut joy infusible ink to use with the mug press and now I am ready to use on shirts. I thought I had to buy the full size but this is awesome.

Thank you for this post. Everytime I search for a video on the new cricut joy it's a review. I plan to make shirts for a kids party.

You’re very welcome! Be sure to check out my Cricut Joy playlist, I have a ton of tutorials that are step by step!

[@nancyhassey2788]

Awesome..You taught me alot today...the first video I watched...how to change individual letters to different colors...love that!! And the card...the heart telephone....I need to make that for my sister in law...who lost her husband (my brother) 3 mo. ago so she is so lonely...I try to make cards to send her and this one is perfect for her...so thank you for that! and now I learned that you can use contour to take out images to make your image smaller to use on the Joy by making it in pieces instead of one solid image...I always try to slice things and it takes me forever...so this seems so much easier and faster. I have to tell you I really do enjoy your videos..your tutorials are always so informative and you explain things so well..so thank you so much! Keep up the good work!!

[@marchauys4158]

You are a wonderful teacher. Your videos are very informative and easy to follow. Thank you for sharing your knowledge.

[@cynthiajordanbrown3923]

You did a great job with the Infusible Ink! I love working with Infusible Ink. I’ve done t-shirts, baby bodysuits, and totes. I am also a “PINK” person. I think that I have all of the ink colors in different shades of pink. I have other colors as well, but I tend to gravitate towards the pink. They’re just so beautiful! You’ll find that your items will wash/dry well and look as good as new when done. I’m looking forward to more Infusible Ink videos. Thank you!

[@Bethadilly]

Thank you, Cynthia! Yes, I just invested in almost all the pink shades I could find! I am excited to do more!

I really enjoyed your video, full of great information. I want to do the infusible ink, however, I only a mini cricut iron and not the big cricut press, will I still be able to to use the mini. Thank you in advance,

[@justricca2028]

I absolutely love your videos!! Super informative!! I do have a quick question! How come when I measure my design in DS and then after the vinyl is scanned it says I don’t have enough material? I’m so confused! Your response would be greatly appreciated!!

[@colors4u682]

You are a true ‘pink’ person. I love it, too, and love ‘aqua’ as my second choice. I actually toggle between the two. You are an excellent teacher. I’m getting closer to using my Cricut Joy for the first time. I don’t have a Cricut Maker but have a Brother ScanNCut which I find so difficult to use. I have it set up for cutting clear acrylic for the background of my shopping palettes. Am afraid to change any of the settings so only use the ScanNCut for the backings. Had I known about the Cricut Maker, I would have chosen that one. I need to be able to cut backed fabric to go on my acrylic backings. Have you ever worked with Thermoweb press “n peel adhesive sheets...they are not heat ‘n peel. I need to adhere the fabric to the adhesive sheets and cut and wonder if cricutmaker would work. I had originally thought I could do it with the joy, but joy doesn’t cut fabric...I imagine fabric backed wouldn’t work either. Any thoughts on this. Thank you, Bethany.

[@Bethadilly]

colors4u thank you so much, I’m so glad you’re enjoying my tutorials! I actually haven’t worked with the material you mentioned so I don’t have any advice on that!

I'm on the edge of buying a cricut but not sure if I'm smart enough or creative enough to be able to do it! I suck at measuring things. I've got a baby and I've been buying a lot of custom made onesies on Facebook from a lady. I've thought that if I make it myself it would be cheaper

[@mariebayona3146]

I just got a Cricut Joy for Christmas and I just love it! I haven’t tried any of the infusible ink or iron-on projects yet. You didn’t mention the material of the shirt. (Or maybe you did and I skipped through that part...oops!) Did I see somewhere that you can only use one of these methods on polyester only? Thank you in advance and thank you for your super helpful videos!! God bless!

Yep, it's mentioned in the video! I also place a list of all the materials used in the description box below the video. :)

So ungrouping to 3 pieces , then cutting it . That won't work for this same feature? Just curious before I do my project lol ! Thanks for the update this makes so much sense .

Hi there! Wow...love your videos!!!!! So well explained! I have a question about butcher paper. Which side do I face down on my tshirt. I can't find mat finish butcher paper. Even the ones that come with Cricut have a shiny side. Please help!!! Susan D.

[@audreyplace3742]

Hi! Great video... can you use infusible ink with an iron if you do not have the cricut press?

[@Bethadilly]

Thank you! Cricut doesn’t recommend it because of the specific high temperature required in order to transfer the Infusible Ink successfully. They also don’t recommend it because Infusible Ink needs very even heat that the EasyPress can offer. Hope this helps!

[@gomer_X]

Can you use the infusible ink on canvas on top of acrylic paint?

[@janbaker3115]

Enjoy watching your videos. I'm new to cricut. I have the joy. I'm thinking of getting the mini press. Could it be used in a project like this

[@Bethadilly]

Jan Baker Hi Jan! You can! I would highly recommend getting the heat resistant tape to tape down your design because the Mini EasyPress requires constant movement and you don’t want your design to move at all or it will smudge. Here is the heat guide for a t-shirt with Infusible ink and the Mini Easy Press! cricut.com/en_us/heatguide

[@Bethadilly]

Jan Baker also, I have never used my Mini for Infusible ink but it looks like you can!

[@ntyler71]

This is very cool, however I don't like being limited to buying shirts from cricut. That looked very see through. What is it made out of. Also, I LOVE the concept of it being infused into the shirt, but some (like me) only have a regular iron. Are there other options for these 2 issues?

[@audreyplace3742]

I'm a new cricut joy beginner. This tutorial was perfect. I do have a question though. I have a new grandson coming up on the age of 3 months and want to make him a onesie, that reads, Cutest Pumpkin in the Patch. I do not have an easy press, can I use an iron as long as I lift up and not slide it?

[@Bethadilly]

That onesie idea sounds lovely! It is not recommended that you use an iron and Cricut recommends the EasyPress2 for Infusible Ink for the best results. Infusible Ink should only be pressed one time to get an even and successful press, so having a larger heat place that can get the exact temperature requirement is recommended. Hope this helps!

[@Milliehippo]

I’m waiting for my cricut joy to arrive and just wondering if I can use the infusable ink on any t-shirt ? I have a few I want to practice on .

[@Bethadilly]

You can’t use it on any shirt, it has to have a high polyester count but I can’t remember the exact amount because I only use the Cricut shirts...they are so soft!! And you can usually get them on sale, for a good price!

[@kadrynearl3441]

Whats the floral mat you are using under your workspace???

[@faithsworld9299]

so 385 for 40 seconds is what it has to be set at? does that apply for the circuit air as well?

[@audreyplace3742]

HI..2nd comment... I was just looking at the easy press 2 and it seems they come in sizes? Which would be the correct size for shirts? Thank you in advance, it is really appreciated for both questions

[@Bethadilly]

Yes, the EasyPress 2 comes in multiple sizes and it really depends on the size of shirt or projects you are making. I tend to use my 9x9 the most, but if you're making larger shirts with designs larger than that with Infusible Ink you may want to invest in the larger press since you should only press Infusible Ink one time. You may also want to check out the mini, as you can surprisingly use it for Infusible Ink and here is a video how! kzbin.info/www/bejne/gZPVpmt3Zb-ondU

[@rosac8168]

Ok just one question is the infusible ink sheet the same as sublimation transfer sheets?
