Bonjour Jennifer, Même si elle ne sont pas en français avec le sous titrage j'arrive très bien à suivre vos superbes vidéos. Je les trouve vraiment très complète, rien ne manque et en plus j'apprends beaucoup. Pas besoin de regarder une autre vidéo pour compléter puisque tout a été dit sur l'article du début jusqu'à la fin et ça j'adore ce qui fait que je passe moins de temps sur KZbin à chercher constamment la suite sur le sujet d'un produit. Merci pour vos vidéos très très constructive. Depuis un an que j'ai ma Cricut j'a énormément apprit grâce à vous. Excellent travail. Ma note est de 10/10..LOL

Hello Jennifer, I got myself a cricut explore 3 just a few weeks ago. I was excited to get started using it but my very first project (iron on shirt) didn't go as I expected. I used the smart iron vinyl and when I tried to cut it, it didn't go very well. When it was finished and I removed it from the cricut it wasn't cut properly. (thankful I decided to start with the smallest part of the shirt and didn't waste much vinyl) I use white vinyl and could barely see where it was cut. I checked my steps to make sure I didn't do anything wrong. And, for the life of me I couldn't figure it out. I mirrored my design (but I know that doesn't have anything to do with how it cuts) I used more pressure and the smart vinyl option. AND, it wouldn't let me cut a second time like my old cricut does. I tried a test cut with smart vinyl on a mat and it let me cut a second and third time (and I'm sure as many as I wished). I ended up duplicating my project twice (to make it cut 3 times) in order to complete my shirt because it was for my mother to wear on her weekend away and I only had a couple of hours to get it finished. My question is . . . Am I doing something wrong? Why doesn't the cricut allow a second cut when using just the smart vinyl? If making duplicates of each and every project made with iron on vinyl is the answer then that is a huge waste of time. just a side note, I'm not really impressed with the amount of wasted vinyl when using the smart products. I think it would have been better to just put the vinyl on the "cut" section of the carrier sheets. (make it look like the mat with vinyl a little bit in from the edges.

Hi Ms Jennifer, love your teaching. Can you tell me what vinyl do I use for polywoven materials and what temperature do I use. Thank you.

[@JenniferMaker]

Iron-on works for that. Here is the temperature guide from Cricut. If you go to cricut.com scroll down to the bottom of the page and click on heat guide. cricut.com/en-us/heatguide

[@camillestewart9303]

Hi Jennifer, thanks for the lesson. Well taught and received. need to know though, if you have a decal that has an overlay, should both parts be printed with mirror on? Cause I tried that and one came out backwards.

[@JenniferMaker]

For decals that have an overlay, you generally do not need to mirror both parts unless you are working with iron-on transfers. If you are using regular vinyl for a decal, you should not mirror the design. However, if you are using iron-on transfers, you should mirror the design to ensure it comes out correctly when applied.

[@clairecolchester7345]

Do Cricut ship mystery boxes to the uk please

[@JenniferMaker]

Typically, only U.S. and Canadian residents can order an Official Cricut Mystery Box - they are not currently offered to residents of other countries but you can check with Cricut in the UK to see what they offer.

Hi Jennifer, I am brand new to cricut. Love watching and learning your tutorials. I cannot figure out how to stick a design or name of my kid onto his sports TYR backpack which is really hard to stick. What am I missing? TIA.

DO u need to use the heat press or is an iron ok to use?

[@JenniferMaker]

You can use either a heat press or an iron for applying iron-on vinyl to a t-shirt. If you don't have a heat press like the Cricut EasyPress, an iron will work as well. Here are some key points to consider: Heat Press (Cricut EasyPress): Set the temperature and time according to the material and vinyl type using the Cricut heat guide. Provides even heat distribution. No need for additional protective layers like parchment paper or Teflon sheets. Iron: Set the iron to the cotton setting. Preheat the shirt for 10-15 seconds. Use parchment paper or a Teflon sheet to protect the iron and the vinyl. Apply medium pressure for 25-30 seconds, ensuring the iron covers the design as evenly as possible. Flip the shirt and apply heat to the back for an additional 25-30 seconds. Both methods require preheating the shirt and ensuring the design is centered. The heat press is generally more consistent, but an iron can achieve good results with careful application.

hi Jennifer i’ve just been watching your nautical video, could you please help me with a couple of things, i work in the marine industry i’m a sewing machinist fitting out boats and making the outer covers, the materials i use are for outdoors (1 ) which vinyl would you use for outdoor fabrics like the Acrylic canvas, marine vinyls and how long would it stay in place before peeling off and your nautical designs would it be ok to use your designs to sell ?

[@JenniferMaker]

Yes, you can sell my designs. I only ask that you do not sell the SVG's.

[@veronicatrevino7550]

Great information, thank you

[@DisMindy5767]

Why did you use butcher paper over the sport flex instead of parchment? Would that work just as well?

[@JenniferMaker]

Butcher paper is a thick kraft paper that works well, while parchment paper has a non-stick coating on it.

[@123lrob]

I heard you say that Sport Flex can’t be layered over Everyday Iron-on, but can it be layered with another Sport Flex color? Or if you use two colors, do they need to be side by side and not overlapped due to how thin the Sport Flex material is? I have a Poly-Nylon blend active shirt that has no cotton at all. If I am not able to use two colors of Sport Flex, will Everyday Iron-on even work on that fabric?

[@JenniferMaker]

Because of the stretch in the Iron On, it cannot be layered on top of Everyday Iron On. Side by side would be best. For the poly-nylon check the care instructions for the fabric before application to be sure the fabric can withstand a hot iron. If it is a light color polyester Infusible Ink is a wonderful alternative. jennifermaker.com/cricut-infusible-ink-layered-t-shirt/

Will mystery boxes be shipped to London, England?

[@breakalegfpv9532]

can you ship my mystery boxes to London, England?

[@JenniferMaker]

That are only for US and Canada. Check for Cricut for your country to see if they have something there for you.

[@olynn62]

The word love how did you get it to stay like that in one word

[@JenniferMaker]

Make sure the lock icon is locked to bring it to the size that you want in. Keep it grouped together and make sure that it is within the cut size for your machine.

[@jenn4617]

Can you tell me why No matter how many times I press my vinyl on my shirt it wont stick! I'm using the right temperature on my easy press 2 and have tried it 2 times with 2 different shirts and still the vinyl wont stick..

There are many variables, so it is difficult to say. Please post over in my FB Group with all of the details of your material, press temp and time and a photo if you can to see if our awesome community can help! facebook.com/groups/cricutcraftersandmakers/

Can you layer permanent or removable vinyl on to iron on vinyl?

[@JenniferMaker]

You can, but it won't hold up in the wash. I would NOT recommend it unless it's for a one-off thing, like a Halloween costume you'll only wear once.

[@teresamclennan6425]

Thanks Jennifer! I am making gingerbread ornaments on poster board and applied the iron on then need to add buttons on the clothes. Will not be washed, just handled by grandchildren . You are the best for sharing your knowledge.

[@robinv3322]

once you wash a project several times on the everyday iron . It starts to lift. peel up is there a way to put back down?

[@David_Robert]

Hello 👋 How are you doing?

[@JenniferMaker]

You can turn the shirt inside out and press it. That usually helps to secure it again.

[@robinv3322]

Even if they have been washed inside out several times ? I I see no glue left on the vinyl . To remove whole design I have to put heat behind and replace it with new vinyl

Can Shimmer Vinyl be layed?

[@JenniferMaker]

It is recommended not to layer glitter on top of glitter. They also recommend that you not put any other heat transfer material on top of glitter - it should be the top most layer. It may not last for many washes.
