Make your heat transfer vinyl t shirt look screen printed

[@tim_nextvolleyball]

A cool trick and tool I use from my screen printing background is my T-Square. I go four fingers down from the collar and line up my T square. If the top of your HTV is a perfect straight line you can just push it up against the T-Square and align the middle by measuring or eye ball it.

[@kustomizemehtvvinyl2100]

Thanks for the recommendation!

Brilliant idea to hold the parchment paper with magnets! I'm going to try that! Thanks!

[@kustomizemehtvvinyl2100]

Works perfectly too. 😃

[@jenniferfleming1851]

Just a friendly tip..weed the vinyl while it's still on the cutting mat and it helps it from curling while weeding. Great job!!👍

Good idea!!

This tutorial is really great and informative. Today I learned from you about the feel of more quality vinyl! Love your relaxed teaching style. Your result and graphic is outstanding... and very inspiring. I am curious as to your peeling and weeding method. Wondering why you didn’t weed right on your mat? It’s like having an extra hand as you are not using the other one to keep your vinyl from rolling up... Wondering if the fine detail in the planets and such is just too much to expect to be able to peel the mat up and away from after you flip your weeded image-on-mat over. Not criticizing at all... really wondering 🙂

Importantly make sure you use the correct vinyl that stays on the shirts 👚 this has been my biggest challenge with getting the materials to stay on the fabric once it pressed on and washed as well I have tried so many companies and watch over who knows videos on the best vinyl. I watched here on KZbin videos that washed different vinyl and the correct heat temperature for each. Another issue I have had was glitter htv I learned you can but glitter on top of regular htv but not so much as putting regular htv on top of glitter. tip glitter htv is cut at 33.

[@MisterKnitter]

Thanks for the tutorial! I have just started working with vinyl and have next to zero experience. Would it be possible to use a regular iron to press on the vinyl design?

[@kustomizemehtvvinyl2100]

Yes it is possible to use a iron. The best iron to use are the ones that show the temperature degrees on it. This way you will not have to guess how hot the iron is. Make sure you do not add water. Steam is a enemy of HTV. The most important thing is buy the right vinyl. Mostly all vinyl will press with a iron, but may not always work or have the best results. I’ve tested my vinyl with a iron and know that it will work. Hope this info helps.

[@kustomizemehtvvinyl2100]

You can cut larger images with a regular cameo as you can purchase 12"x24" mats and you can cut vinyl without a mat. The only difference between the two machines is.. Standard Cameo can only except materials up to 12" horizontally. The Cameo Plus can only except materials up to 15" horizontally. If you are new to starting, I recommend the Cameo 4 and upgrade to the plus later. :)

What brand heat press are you using? Thx

[@kustomizemehtvvinyl2100]

In this video, I am using a Generic Clamp Press. But have since upgraded to a swing press. I recommend a swing press, especially for women, because it is easier to close. Clamp presses require more effort to close sometimes, so a swing press is good to use if you do not want to use effort to close it.

[@Emjay808]

What is that brown paper you using when you press?

The brown paper is parchment paper and is used to protect the shirt and the heat press from heat. Its similar to using teflon paper.

Wow awesome! I really want to do my own hoodies do I need a heat press like yours to start out with or can I just use the cricut easy press?

[@kustomizemehtvvinyl2100]

Thanks for the comment! My recommendation would be to go with a heat press. The reason why, a heat press will apply pressure when pressing to create a more secure bond for your vinyl. Giving you a more screen printed look. The easy press is good but you can not apply pressure and only can depend on the weight of the easy press. If you do go with a press. Get a 15x15 or larger swing press with digital timer.

When using vinyl it’s best to use cotton or cotton blends. Basically any shirt from your local store.

[@kustomizemehtvvinyl2100]

No I do not wash my shirts. The vinyl I use is soft stretch so there is no need to wash the shirts. Plus I found washing the shirts first affects the quality after applying heat from heat press so I do not wash.

[@williejones6446]

Hey, im not sure if this is what he did, but lately ive been buying cheaper vinyl, and its been causing my images to come out choppy. I started digging around the design, so when I peel the background it all just comes off at once or a couple big pieces. I hope he answers so we dont have to guess lol

[@kustomizemehtvvinyl2100]

I manually placed the circles before cutting out my design. I do this to cut my design up into smaller pieces to make the weeding process go faster and smoother. This technique at specially comes in handing when you have smaller shapes with in your design.

It really depends on the vinyl that you are using. Some vinyl require different heat settings. The vinyl that I am using requires a setting of 320 degrees. Which is usually the sweet spot.
