I love the new sport flex it works well on material without the cracking and peeling! My just made my daughters school shirts 😀

[@heyitsmejessi]

This is exactly what I was looking for!! Thank you so much for doing this tutorial.

[@sUnShiNeygirl7]

Ok because you do short, to the point instructions... I'M SUBSCRIBING NOW! Thank you!

Thanks for the sub!

[@HouseScraper]

OH I cannot wait for my sport flex I am sure I am going to love it. My daughter is a cheerleader and volley ball player so I will be sports flexing a lot for the team

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Wow! You must be a one proud mom :D

[@deanslyst1850]

Great video. I probably shouldn’t admit this, but I was putting the vinyl in the Cricut with the shiny side faced up. Right now, I’m using my Cricut to add a textured design to the top of spandex for a costume.

[@tessmoore3762]

I'm using glossy sportflex. So I did the same thing because both sides are shiny, and he shows the color side up. Ugh! It didn't really cut it though so I didn't waste anything.

[@deblovins1]

I have watched several videos using the Sport Flex, and all have instructed to place the shiny side down. Both sides are shiny! How do you tel the difference? I used 3 rolls and they are now wasted.

[@maryellencomerford2601]

i have the same problem! we need help!

[@Trumpetz97]

I read somewhere that on the sportflex, one side looks "bubbled" and that side goes up! It's working for me right now!

[@stampinsundevil]

@@maryellencomerford2601 It really should say colored side down! I think white might be the only color that would be hard to decipher.

[@debistewart2504]

I also had a hard time deciding what side to put down. I was working with the sky blue color and trie both ways. Then after wasting a lot of the sport flex, it wasn’t cutting all the way through. I cleaned the blade with foil, selected “sport flex” iron vinyl and selected “more” on the pressure, yet it barely cut through it? I could use some advice? Thanks

[@stampinsundevil]

Debi stewart I have a Silhouette Cameo and guessing you have a Cricut?? Try Mrs. Rita to the Rescue.

[@judylevinsky1015]

THANK YOU SO MUCH. This video was just what I needed.

I had no idea there was a right and wrong side and was super confused. Thank you!

Sure thing!! Here's a great beginner HTV video with lots of helpful information: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5WQiWOXp7-hp8k

Thank you Tanner. I feel much more confident to use this now. Wouldn’t want to ruin my uniform shirts.

I did it! TY

[@craftychinurse5240]

Thank you for showing the entire process!

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!

[@julierodgers2389]

Absolute beginner, first time user. Once you have weeded it and it is still back to front, then how do you get it onto off there and facing around to put on the shirt?

[@ballenbean]

I know this is a video that was posted a while ago but I am very thankful that you all have published this on KZbin because it's helping me soooo much as I'm new to my cricut experience! I was wondering though as I just got my cricut explore 3 a few weeks ago & I'm noticing with all of the different vinyls I've tried so far (including some sport flex that I purchased for a project in want to do for a coworkers son) is cutting all the way thru to my mats. Is there a setting that I can try using to reduce that from happening? Your video shows that yours cut the vinyl itself but not the transfer paper that was on the vinyl so I know it can be done I'm just getting a little discouraged (I'm a little of a perfectionist when it comes to my crafts).

[@winterhappy25]

Accidentally picked up this instead of everyday iron on can i still use this one with cotton shirts?

[@frederickhoward3140]

thanx for the tutorial. You Rock Tanner!!!!

[@Pretendoestorbar]

Hi! It could be used on a cotton wool tshirt? thanks

[@cherylwilks281]

This video is SO HELPFUL! I still have issues with when I remove the "transfer" the iron on material is "crinkled". What am I doing wrong? Any help is appreciated:) Thanks!

[@GeekoutYourWorkout]

thank you so much! I have a workout channel and a fitness blog. I can not wait to make branded t-shirts!!! Tahnk you for your how too!

[@scarletygeramel]

Can you use any kind of parchment paper?

[@rayannaarthur4677]

Got to get me some of that sports flex and try it! Thanks Tanner for the inspiration!

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Glad you liked the video Rayanna.

[@essemcee]

Thanks for the info; this material doesn’t stick well even to the strong grip mat and it didn’t cut with the default iron-on setting even though my knife has only cut 4 projects... ugh

[@malaysiamarie3136]

essemcee i bought this by accident 😂😂 i saw black and just picked up and i had the same problem i was like omg , but i just used painters tape and taped down the tops

[@jessieann3871]

I have 65 polyester and 35 cotton joggers. Can I use sports flex? If so could I do a layer with glitter htv writing over the sports flex?

[@elisabethcreek5157]

Do you have to have a cricut press? Or can you use an iron?

[@JoseHernandez-br8gq]

We used an iron. It worked very well. Great tutorial.

[@npearce01220]

I know it's not for cotton but was wondering if it can be used for cotton shirts? Or will it end in disaster?

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

It won't end very well haha! We've tried it before and it doesn't go so well!

[@flowe4418]

Can I use a regular heat press instead of the cricut one?

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Yes, here you go: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eoikeGisZrllarM .

[@jocelyntamayo4454]

I know it's made for tech fabric, nylon and polyester, but what happens if you put SportFlex on a normal cotton shirt?

[@rourribeck5578]

I can tell you what happened when I used it... it sucked. I was making my husband a graphic tshirt for his birthday, and went through *3* tshirts. I have a regular heat press, vs one of the cricut things. Mine has a hinge, and I pull it down and it presses without having to pick up and move it into multiple areas. I didn't realize you needed parchment paper topper... figured that out after the first failure where the PLASTIC peel away stuck to the iron when it popped up. Then I used a teflon sheet (like parchment, but not a one use item), and this time the letters did not stick. They peeled off the cotton. I tried with 2 other tshirts, peeling the plastic back both in warm and cold conditions. The final one that "kind of" worked was peeling it back cold. some not essential flourish peeled away with the plastic. I bought this stuff by mistake as it was on sale. My bad. I am back to using the Every Day Iron On. I don't do much sport/yoga pant/lycra stuff... This is a no-go for me.

[@WinnyStudies]

@@rourribeck5578 thank you. you save my pocket.

[@errie98]

Can I use this on a poly/cotton hoodie blend?

[@yskamp73]

Could it be used with CEA2?

Yes ma'am! :)

[@afierycowgirl]

This video is amazing! I’m making my guy tribe swim shirts, and now it’ll be a breeze! Thanks!

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

You're welcome!

[@sugarandspicekidz]

Any suggestions? I used this last night in the green. I had a hard time when ironing to get it to stick to the fabric. When I tried to peel back, the sports flex was not on the fabric. Any Suggestion?

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

make sure you peel this material COLD. Allow it to fully cool before peeling the transfer sheet off. Also, make sure you are using a good heat press, we recommend the Cricut EasyPress Mini: amzn.to/2zvjW9D

[@sydneyyoung728]

Help! It isn’t sticking to the shirt 😢 I don’t understand what I could’ve done wrong but I followed the exact instructions

Thank you!

Christmas pajamas!

Those would be great to make!

[@unclety1783]

I don’t know what I’m doing wrong but when i use sportsflex i can never weed it i feel like my blade is not cutting it

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Make sure you are using it properly by placing it shiny side down on the mat, setting your machine to the sport flex specific cut setting, and maybe use more pressure if your blade is not new :)

[@unclety1783]

Makers Gonna Learn i just bought the machine but I’m gonna try again with the more pressure

[@unclety1783]

Can this vinyl be used on 100% cotton ?

[@sldone1]

Hey Tanner...can you use a Teflon sheet in place of the parchment?

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

Sylvia Done of course!!

[@FitQueen]

did you measure how big you wanted the designs to come out or did you just wing it

[@pookiebolanos27]

Do you put it on regular transfer tape ? That's the part that i'm missing

How do you mirror your project?

When you are ready to make your design, right underneath the mat graphic on your left side, is a little slide button that you can make it go to the right, and then the mirror is on. Hope this helps!

The sport flex iron on is the worst. How does anyone weed this? It looks easy when you do it but a frustrating and agonizing experience!

[@dawnbydezign3125]

Omg . I am having so much trouble. It's glad to see. I am not the only one

[@melissamccallister5725]

So frustrated!!! I just ruined a roll of this stuff watching this video. I specifically wanted to see which way to cut it. I think you should edit your video. It doesn't make sense that you did it color side up.

[@MakersGonnaLearn]

color side down is correct for this material :)

[@melissamccallister5725]

@@MakersGonnaLearn You should edit your video then. I wasted a roll of this stuff. It wasn't sticking to my mat at all, so I thought I was doing it wrong and found your video specifically to see how you put the vinyl down. I ruined that roll and returned the rest of it.

[@jleezy5561]

Doesn’t transfer onto cotton…like; at all. Not even one bit…just ruins the shirt!!!😡
