How To Layer Heat Transfer Vinyl: Step-by-Step Instructions

[@wrenmyer7606]

This is the 2nd video of yours that I have seen today. I don't understand why I haven't seen you before, but I like your presentation. You are clear, concise, understandable and minus all the loud music others seem to think should go in a tutorial. Thank you.

[@Expressionsvinyls]

We're glad you found us and that our tutorials are helpful. Thanks for tuning in!

[@allisonbutterfield2458]

And minus the five minute introductory monologue most tutorials think are necessary.

[@James01520]

THE FOLD IDEA FOR CENTER! So simple it's brilliant. THANK YOU.

[@JustinKirby]

Just getting into heat transfer - literally a couple of days into it. I was struggling like crazy to get things centered and whatnot. Not once did I think about folding the shirt.... Glad I found this video!

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Yeah, we're glad you found us!

[@lovelove0068]

[@Expressionsvinyls]

You're welcome! Thanks for tuning in!

[@ondiseen1682]

Great video. Easy to follow. I can't understand why someone would dislike this tutorial.

[@jasminetipton4161]

Your crease trick made my life so much easier!!!

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Glad I could help!

[@jackiemarino864]

You did a wonderful job of explaining what you were doing, while you were doing it. You are very articulate and that really helps to understand what you are doing. Thank you for doing this.

[@Expressionsvinyls]

You are very welcome, Jackie!

[@ayleelove9481]

This looked so difficult to me until I watched you do it.🤦🏻‍♀️Thanks so much!

[@bridgetgainous5487]

I love the fold trick. Thank you for your that.

[@central_09]

Such a big help thanks! Supporting from NZ!

[@jimmys511]

Great video.i never thought of doing something as easy as folding and pressing the shirt and the VHT to get the center.i always set my images a little off.thank you for posting this video.

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Thank you for watching!

[@KingNidus]

Me too, lol so simple!

[@stevenhenry75]

i'm just getting into this and was petrified about making various layers of color. The tips you've shared have made this sooooo much easier. Thank you.

[@sandraflores1391]

Amazing tutorial. Thank you so much. I know this video was from 4 years ago, but it’s ok. Very informative in explaining each vinyl. I am actually going to save this video to watch it again. Lol. Thank you very much. Great video!!!

Thanks for the tips great to see a complex design done!

[@reeperx1963]

Great video!! Thank you!

[@banzaisbanza]

I immediately liked and subscribed like 2 minutes in, but I wished I could have seen the cutting process. I know the pros get that part but I still have issues with that part of the layering. Great tips in this video!

[@Expressionsvinyls]

This one shows modification of designs in the program up to sending to the cutting machine and then applying it to the shirt. kzbin.info/www/bejne/p4rbhauAipyfrMk and this shows more from the beginning to end. kzbin.info/www/bejne/q3TYd513g82djqs I hope that helps!

[@satyamshukla4360]

b.. l

[@ATTIBUTT]

very creative

[@my-madart9186]

Nice video. Just a suggestion. I print my template on overhead projector paper. as I place each layer, I lay the clear projector paper over the layer of my design just to make sure its lined up just right, then remove the template before I press. :)

[@Expressionsvinyls]

What a great idea, thanks for the tip!

[@DaMrzPorterz]

my-MADART hmm is it possible that you complete video showing

[@francisturner2482]

Thank you too!

[@gracemessineo954]

Great video! Learned a lot from it. I’m planning on making the Rubik’s cube for my grandson and was wondering if easy weed STRETCH can be used instead of strip flock or is strip flock best to use for this project! Thank you

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Absolutely! We recommend applying the the stretch with a heat press (instead of an iron or cricut press)

[@deedeevillavicencio5667]

Thanks

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Welcome

[@nikkihoffman2891]

Great job! My eyes were crosssing by the end, LOL!

[@Expressionsvinyls]

There were a lot of layers on this one.

[@carols899]

Most helpful video ever, thank you!

[@glennhanna244]

The white highlights on the 2nd rubiks cube shirt looks sick! I thought it was intentional

[@ZymixProductions]

Some people don't know that "Sick" can be a compliment. I know She is not that old, but something tells me that She might not know it's a compliment. 👊😁👍

[@bigmikesvinyl8514]

Great video on doing multi-layer HTV shirts. I did notice that you don't pre-heat the shirt before applying the background. I am wondering if this was the cause of the shrinking on the problem shirts. I have done a number of multilayer shirts and have not seen this type of problem. I would definitely recommend a good 10 second press (cotton or cotton blends) before doing the first layer to prevent shrinkage of the shirt under the vinyl when the first layer is applied. For more heat sensitive synthetics it should not be as much of an issue because they don't absorb so much moisture. It is also interesting to note that red shirts will often color shift darker when you drive out the moisture. This is a temporary effect due to the dyes used for red but will return to the normal shade when the moisture level normalizes.

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Thank You for your feedback. We also recommend the pre-pressing on the shirts to prevent shrinking.

[@c.marietadejongh2262]

I always get on the wagon last after the craze is gone....so now I am starting with this and waiting for my cameo [bought from some-one who lost interest]...

[@fobtac]

great vid! i ordered some htv from you and i’m loving it, however i’m running into a snag with layering. using the slice method, i line my layers up perfectly on my shirt, however when i press them with heat they seem to slightly shrink, leaving open space between the layers. do you have any tips for this? thanks!

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Tacking each layer down with a few seconds of heat until the full amount with the last layer will help reduce the shrinkage, but there will still likely be some shrinkage, even slightly.

[@donnabradley2651]

Thanks for your tutorial! What brand/model of heat press are you using?

[@Expressionsvinyls]

we are using a digital clam heat press from Siser.

[@sorden07]

Would you happen to have videos showing how you designed everything in Design Space?

[@Expressionsvinyls]

Hi, we do not have this specific project in Design Space but we could do one similar that will walk through the same types of steps for creating layers in an uploaded image.
