Thank you so much for explaining the swing away. It is frustrating trying to go through videos, and everyone has the clamp. You explain very well. Now, 3 questions I have. 1. Where do you get your transfer vinyal from? 2. Which program do you use to make the image? 3. How to do big images like for adults shirts that's like 3xl & up?

[@simplyshy]

No problem! 1. Mostly all of my vinyl came from Micheals it’s siser HTV 2.Abode illustrator but if your not really good a designing you can try canva 3. I use a 12X24 mats and just turn the image sideways. But there are bigger cutting machines other then cricut there called plotters

11/30/21: OMG, SimplyShy, my friend and I were blown away how well you presented this tutorial. It was absolutely thorough, straight to the point and wonderful. I'm thinking about getting one because it seems like a good tool to have and I can think of many things to do with it. Lawd help me! Although your "Birthday Girl" design may have appeared too high for you (you know best), it looked fabulous to us and I loved the font. Thank you for sharing this with everyone and Happy Holidays!

@@simplyshy I do have a question or two before I commit to getting this tool. First, which one did you purchase and how much is it? I ask because there are SO many heat press machines when I plug in the word "Swing Away Heat Press" and it's overwhelming; don't want to get the wrong one and would like to get the one you've got. And secondly, can I heat press rhinestones with this tool onto a t-shirt or a pant leg? I'm good to go after I get your answers. Thank you again!

@@conishkee There is a lot on there smh this is the one I got amzn.to/3lpPFy0.....Also, about the rhinestone I have never did it but I feel like you should be good because they can be pressed on any standard heat press.As long as they are have a transfer and are the heat safe ones.

Quick question about the pressure of the heat press in which direction do i turn to tighten it and loosen it?

[@simplyshy]

Right to tighten and left to loosen.

[@jessecuellar8239]

Quick question what is the correct way to turn off the heat press and how long will it take to cool down?

[@simplyshy]

Click the side button to turn it off, and unplug it. Never keep it plug in when it’s not in use … it should take about 5-10 mins to cool down depending on how hot it was.

I had a similar press in the beginning, but the 8 in 1 one. Unfortunately the built quality was really shitty. Idk for sure, but I'm thinking this one will exhibit the same problems one day. The first problem was the closing latch. the nits it's connected with broke after around a year of use. after 2 years the base broke. It definitely started deforming way before that, but the design makes it hard to see. The whole base metal was deformed., bushing the metal rod back away from the plate. Also another thing is - this one requires more grease in my experience and it ended up on the clothes more than once... I never got to use the rest of the attachments, because I couldn't get the main one to detach. I currently have a clamshell and the built quality is waay better. The way it's built also makes it impossible to deform like this one.
