Not gonna lie, after the second time that skeleton fell, I couldn’t take my eyes off him waiting for him to fall again! Lol. Can’t wait to try this DTV!

[@melaniecourville7411]

🤣 I did the same thing!

[@kimwilson7838]

I think I've commented on a youtube video once or twice ever but I feel that after watching this same one for three separate projects and stopping/starting it again and again (and again), I have to say something. Mr Crafty Pants, you are brilliant, talented, a great teacher and absolutely hilarious. Thanks for all you do, for walking me through some pretty cool projects and for being so dang relatable. ❤

[@johnson6099]

Finally! A demonstration that is helpful! Too many people print where one cannot see how it's done but describe it which defeats the purpose of a HOW-TO video.

[@theresaforte2202]

Yes Delonda is the absolute best! But so are you Michael… 😉 You 2 are 2 of the easiest instructors to learn from! Of course there are a few others as well! 😁

[@Wrightn221]

This is a game changer!!! No high price sublimation printer. Thanks for the tutorial.

[@mrcraftypants]

You bet! Glad it was helpful :)

[@trishfrench1927]

No high priced sub paper, but have you seen the price of the DTV? $2.75 for a 8.4 x 11 sheet or... I paid $145 total for a box of 50 sheets of the DTV and 50 sheets of the TTD Mask 😯😳

[@Wrightn221]

@@trishfrench1927 that's crazy! I haven't bought anything. I'll stick with layering. Much cheaper. Thanks for the update.

[@IT-ww9cy]

Oh, yes! I will try that on my next project a friend is asking me to do! Your skelly friend was not happy since you forgot to change the skeleton from black to white..it's hilarious 😂

[@laidbackaz]

Finally got my DTV, don't have the mask yet. I'm so excited to try this. Going to try Resting Witch face today. The look on your face when Mr. Skelly fell both times was priceless!

[@fatimarazon8407]

Skelly falling twice had me laughing up a storm! love the tutorial Michael

[@Phatmomme]

Thank you! And I’m literally lmbo at Mr. Skeleton seeking your attention while filming…he actually got it too😂😂

[@cindykocol1834]

Thanks so much for posting your video. Made my first time using DTV and the TTD mask less intimidating. Love the result! My t-shirt turned out great. My days of using HTV are at an end. Nothing beats the vibrant colours I got using DTV.

[@catchwreck928]

but how durbale is it, see thats the problem. i know tis not like screen print or plastisol but how is it compared to DTG, DTF, amd regular vinyl. How many washes can we get if careful

[@cmaharaj123]

I've watched Katrina from Moven Grace who states that the material you use to cover the DTV affects the end result. For example if you want a glossy end result you'll use a teflon sheet, if you'd want a matte end result you'll use parchment paper. I know everyone has their own styles I thought I'd share what I've learned. Lmk what you personally think. Stay crafty and safe god bless.

[@olegnalocj]

It seems SISER DTV is a winner. So much easier than the old ways.

[@noemie_et_ses_furets]

I love it!! Going to try this out for sure!! Also I laugh so hard when the skeleton kept falling down as if it was alive lol 😂 I love your energy and vibe ❤

[@sabrinacolon1959]

Michael you know to make a bad day turn into a great day. Thanks I needed some good vibes tonight

[@dianestevens32]

I love your videos, thank you soooo much... I am learning every day. This was all so intimidating, but you have helped me tremendously lol, the look you get in at around 9:23 where the Cricut goes off on its own, is pretty much the look I get all the time trying to figure out this machine...😂 the ghost of craftypants skeleton falling off... priceless... thx again, keep up the great work.

[@joeramirez9734]

Love your videos Michael. You are super easy to learn from and easy on the eyes.

[@hangovergangnews]

I accidentally on purpose bought this last weekend and it was amazing 👏

[@mrcraftypants]

don't you hate it when you do things accidentally on purpose? LOL

[@millertms7]

Thank you for showing how to load it and what it the DVT looks like. I ordered the carry sheet and the DVT on amazon. No labels. I didn't know which was which

[@mrcraftypants]

You're so welcome and I'm glad it was helpful. 🤩

[@carlenemartin8759]

I think I’m going to love this way better than anything I’ve seen

[@chrissiebook2001]

Storms coming.....hope I don't lose my internet....lol....but I can always be on the replay squad... 😂😂

[@deladyakarobin4777]

Loved the video, the resting witch face is so cute...

[@mrcraftypants]

😊 thank you

[@lilmonsta6931]

This was an awesome video! An your skeleton cracked me up!

[@007cheaton]

So excited when I found this printable HTV and your how to video! Unfortunately, my images aren't printing correctly! Ugh! I had this same issue with my printable vinyl. It must be my printer settings, but I can't seem to figure it out. I see you use the same printer I do, just a newer model. Any chance you can help a girl out?? It seems to be spilling too much ink onto the vinyl. You can't see any of the white outlines around the letters and there are droplets of ink on the edges.

[@angelabays1850]

I'm so glad I found this video. I have been using a different printable vinyl but I couldn't find the mask that wouldn't pull off part of the ink. I'll try this!!

[@Margareth20648]

I just bought printable vinyl. So excited to start using it

[@mrcraftypants]

Hope you have fun with it!! :)

[@chrissiebook2001]

Replay squad in da house!!! What's up with the creepy skeleton? Too freaking funny! 😂😂😂

[@debfrancis2166]

Thanks for showing how to use the Siser DTV. I'm excited to try it.

[@lynnebizlyne436]

Thank you for sharing. Truly enjoyed the tutorial and interjections of your pal ‘Skelly’ jumping in for attention. Lol I just ordered some of the easyColor after seeing Delonda’s tutorial last week. 👍😁 Thanks again for the chuckles.

[@susiesnelling2723]

Hey Michael! Love you videos. Angie Holden showed how you can move the picture to another mat and you can fit more on a sheet. I haven’t tried it but I wanted you to know.

[@louiselaprade3041]

Soooooo true! Cricut needs to change that print size for the print and cut. Really!

[@calissaobviouslycannotdeci7419]

This was a wonderful video. I had to watch it twice cuz I couldnt stop laughing at your spooky friend. It was funny. I cannot wait to try this product! I think it will be fun until I can afford to get a sublimation printer. Thanks for sharing!💋💋

[@trishfrench1927]

Love this video Michael. I was wondering why you look different than other videos. I believe this is the first time I have seen you without a hat

[@PAndrew002]

That's a personal question!

[@Luxinda]

Praying *so* hard that Cricut will increase the 6.75x9.25 ptc limitation!!! 🙏

[@mrcraftypants]

LOL! 🤩

[@heathersoliday668]

Is this similar to the Starcraft Printable vinyl? If so, which do you like better?

[@karencarpenter4763]

This stuff is amazing! So excited to see what you are going to make. Hi from TN!

[@ruthshellnorth-troup7351]

Awesome…. I’m glad you use that carrier sheet I had a lot of problems with the Avery Dark PV…. I’ll try it again

[@angelaquick8892]

YASSS! c'mon cricut LETS GO! I have been waiting for this product to arrive 😍

[@mrcraftypants]

Hope you have fun with it!

[@kimmcconnell2155]

Always love your videos Michael , not too sure how I am feeling about this one though🤔🧐🤔🧐wil have to give it a try, thank you for everything you do and of course the laughs 😂😂 skeleton 😂😂

[@mrcraftypants]

thank you so much for watching kim :) You'll have to let me know what you think about this stuff once you try it!

[@deliaarts]

Lol I am watching the replay I can stop laughing Michael you are so funny, that was so spooky . I think he don't like the idea you calling him a looser...

[@paulapurvis5473]

Oh my gosh! I was laughing so hard at the skeleton and your reaction. I needed that.🏴‍☠️💀 Oh yeah and your video was awesome!

[@mrcraftypants]

Aww thanks Paula! I'm glad you got a kick out of it 🤩

[@valentinaabbott]

Thank you so much for this video! Really helpful!! I am having a really hard time getting the design to stick to the mask even after going over it with the squigy a million times, I even asked my husband to do it for me in case it just needed more pressure....any ideas/suggestions!?

[@Benfield-cr1td]

You’re the best! How do you figure out what designs to use? What’s the best vinyl to use on t-shirts? Wood? Stickers? Do you like your printer, recommend it? Thank you!!

[@F2906-y9h]

The siser print and cuts a bigger area. I really don’t want to have a to buy a whole new machine just for that purpose but I will of cricut doesn’t change theirs 😩

[@reneemeyer5217]

I'm so upset I missed the premier and the chat with all my MCP family.

Oh man, that skeleton wanted all the attention! 😂 Love your videos!! 🧡

[@teddiev2720]

Thanks Michael! Another great tutorial!

[@terahhowell]

Oh my gawd, the skeleton....lol..bwahaha. 😆 Love this video, Michael, thank you so much for the information!😁

[@mrcraftypants]

Glad you enjoyed it Thanks for watching Terah! :)

[@deniserobinson7979]

I think Mr. Skeleton was being a little dramatic about wanting attention 🤣🤣🤣 . Great tutorial Michael.

[@tchili1]

Thank you soooo much for your videos! I just got the Siser DTV and came to your video. Love that you are so genuine that you leave in your "mistake" about using a dark shirt and with the skeleton falling down 2x! So funny but so authentic! Thank you for being you. Just hope mine comes out anywhere near your beautiful designs. Do have one question though, my design has white letters and not sure whether the print and cut will cut them out because when I go as far as the mat, don't see the letters outlined like it is going to cut them. Think I might try just plain paper first to see what happens instead of messing up the expensive stuff. If you know, would love your input. Thanks again!

[@gsdmama2]

I just bought DTV and someone said that you need to let the ink dry for 24 hours or place in under a heat press (not closed) for 5 mins. Also they said to let the image sit on the transfer sheet for 24 hrs before weeding.

[@rashipp4982]

I can't use a transfer sheet on this? The lady I bought it from said it's no diffrent than an htv pattern transfer???? I'm about to use it and don't wanna waste it. TIA love watching you!!

[@stacyjones200]

Terrific, can’t wait to get my hands on this product.

[@smorris9138]

This looks very intriguing. I would love to see a break-down of the cost of the DTV vs sublimation. Would it be more feasible to use the DTV for small projects and use sublimation for larger projects? Just wondering.

[@kelleyhowland8846]

Probably depends on where you live. Here in Australia they cost $40 a pack (5 sheets) so I will only use them on dark fabrics and use sublimation on white fabric as more cost efficient for me

[@livevibrantly]

I just became aware of DTF then found this video for DTV so thanks for showing. Sorry but I can't stop laughing every time I think of your face with the skeleton. ❤️

[@tammyjoseph568]

Just curious since Cricut has a limited cut file size can you by chance do this video using the Solo machine. Thank you can't wait to try this material

[@layddiamond1]

Amazin video, excellent instructor. So silly question, did you have to pull the back off the second design like you did with the first.

[@debrayfreemanmcdowell7987]

Enjoyed your tutorial. I hope this is not a dumb question. but can it be cut on the Silhouette?

[@terrydahlem5262]

Thanks, Michael! I'm new to your channel and loving it. I'm ordering the DTV tomorrow.

[@jilljackson5419]

😢Good luck, I tried today and it was out of stock!

[@geraldinerivas6346]

Same, finished watching and ran to buy some and out of stock

[@jilljackson5419]

There was another tutorial earlier in day by design bundles, I’m sure it got bought out during that video.

Super cute 🥰

Thank you! 🤗

[@vickigallagher789]

My print appears to be dull....yours is so vibrant!!!! Is there a certain printer i should be using?

[@tankscrittersandurbanhomes5579]

They currently cannot increase the print size due to where they installed the camera that reads the registration lines on their prints. I use word to print larger.

[@Wrightn221]

Can you share the instructions for how you made it bigger in Word?

[@olegnalocj]

@@Wrightn221 normally in Word you create a blank document, then insert a picture. From there you can resize the picture by dragging the little arrow that appears on the frame surrounding the picture, to make it bigger or smaller.

[@Wrightn221]

@@olegnalocj thanks so much!

[@wileycovington4497]

Then you still can't use print then cut. You'd have to cut by hand.

[@AMadScientist]

Hello. Thanks for this. Why did you use the mask for the skeleton but not the other design?

[@da2haviland]

This reminds me printable paper for light and dark. How is it different and how does it launder?

[@patricebishop738]

Love the designs! Were the shirts cotton, poly, or a blend? Also, I’m curious how it feels on the shirt. Skelly falling startled me so much! Thanks for the video!

[@tinanelson1128]

The shirts were cotton, from what I understood, as it's not sublimation. This is the alternative to "sublimate" on non polyester clothings.

[@joyscranfield5527]

Hey Michael, aka Mr Crafty Pants, silly QUESTION, If some crazy someone wanted to change colors in a sublimitation file is that possible? IF SO, how? Subject for another tutorial. TY Michael for you great video tutorials! I've got to get my self in gear & catch your live/premiere videos! The material you're using is amazing! Gotta get some! TY!

[@jilljackson5419]

If it is an svg and has not been flattened in DS, yes colors can be changed. So if you have an MCP file that you want colors changed, download the SVG, change your colors, then flatten for p/c. Otherwise it would need to be done in canva, illustrator, or inkscape most likely.

[@mariamarcelo702]

I know you said you can't use the regular clear transfer. have you tried it though?

[@tammyjoseph568]

You had a much better result with the loose pieces then I did applying the mask. When I was doing it it keep picking up the pieces off the mat before I got close enough to apply the mask. Any idea how to help with this or what I am doing wrong.

[@danielletaylor3810]

I’m in the same boat! I tried sooo many times

[@tonireyes6727]

Is it true if we get membership we can use anything and not worry about licensing or copyright

[@phylstamp]

LOVE your videos! Love you much better without the cap! Is there a way to "trick" the printer into using the remaining blank parts of the paper?

[@trishfrench1927]

You could use the remainder if you add smaller images to your Cricut Canvas

[@geraldwhite2912]

I have not had good luck with it holding the ink after a few washes the color completely goes away

[@killmesoicanrespawn3775]

With siser easycolor? I've been looking for a wash test on it with 10+ washes but can only find 1 wash tests on yt.

[@dancer4life3450]

@@killmesoicanrespawn3775 I think Angie Holden did 15 washes on her channel.

[@cyberjetx]

OK Great! Thanks for sharing this. How many washes do we get before it starts to look bad? Wondering about actual durability vs what they promise...

[@smokensdevil]

Awesome video! I am learning so much from you... So you had to use the TTD sheet on the one image because it was not one solid picture...? But didnt have to use it on the sub file because it was one solid image?

[@ChrissyTanner-Hiltz]

Watching that skeleton fall over was hilarious!

[@sandracarrillo5150]

awesome, so you use the mask on intricate designs but not on easy ones?

[@jnjhawaii5879]

Thank you soo much! That skeleton though lol

[@sdot8741]

Can you please show me how to do all of that with a cameo4

[@loriarmes7153]

You are my favorite! What type of heat press are you using? Also, does the DTV feel heavy on the shirt? I used printable HTV one time; and couldn’t stand the way it felt.

[@booboo759]

what is the best way to transfer a photo to a piece of cloth . dtv or sublimation. I realize if I use sublimation I have to use 100%polyester. I would be using white fabric.

[@johnnyembo1167]

Hey Michael I love your presentation. Would you please help me to find the correct settings on my Cricut Explore Air 2 so, I can cut my printed image. Thank you!

[@christinelowery2415]

Omg I think I actually caught you!

[@brendajordynstarr7718]

Hello thank you for sharing this awesome video. I have a question I have an epson ET 2720 can I use this or do I need to buy a new one.

[@khowler]

My TTD mask didn't do that. My TTD I got from 143 basically didn't pick up the Easy Color at all. I have a ticket in with customer service. I think they accidently sent me HTV Mask paper insted of TTD. I got like a white outline of my image on the mask and nothing else. lol Luckily, I have plenty of Easy Subli Mask, so I used that.

[@mrcraftypants]

I'm glad you were able to find something to use that you had on hand already 🤩

[@patl869]

I'm confused about the cut size you mentioned. I have the Cricut Maker with the long mat and it shows I can cut a maximum size of 11.5 inches by 23.5 inches.

[@itzelledesma4358]

Which do you like better the Siser DTV or the StarCraft inkjet printable transfer

[@mrcraftypants]

Both are great, but the Siser seems to be on another level in terms of quality and stretch!

[@itzelledesma4358]

@@mrcraftypants thank you so much! I’ve been wanting to try something other than sublimation so I can use cotton shirts!

[@phylstamp]

Do you have a schedule of when you are live taping the videos? I am watching them on youtube and can't ask questions as they are previously taped. thanks

[@LilyBecca]

Is there anything like this that will work on a Color Laser Printer? I quit buying ink for my injet once I had a Laserjet and Sublimation printer. I actually have the injet in a recycle pile right now. Please tell me I don't need to dig it out and buy ink for it again!

[@saquoryasmith8712]

do you have to use the siser mask with this? can you use regular transfer paper?

Thanks a bunch!!

[@Andrea-zr5hr]

So for this I could use a regular printer for printing the design? 🤔 i have a canon inkjet printer. I really don’t know much about this stuff 😅.
