SUBLIMATION FOR BEGINNERS: TOP 10 THINGS TO AVOID DOING IN SUBLIMATION

[@AuntWanda]

All and I do mean ALL of this is Awesome knowledge. I wish I knew all of this before I got started. Awesome information.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Thank you!

[@denisewright6095]

I learned everything sublimation from you. Now I can do a tumbler with no seam or ghosting. Thanks for all you do.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Thank you so much ❤

[@zboricua2]

Hello. Is there a video for this? I love Delonda!

[@staceycollins9232]

My first sublimation project was with sublimation pens and markers on a coaster blank. I used my Cricut 9 x 9 press. They came out perfect. I then moved to infusible paper. I used infusible paper on Cricut Sublimation Mugs. It came out perfect. Small projects are the best to prefect before jumping into fabrics.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Great advice! Thank you for sharing!

[@evelynpineda3336]

Another Great Video Delonda!!! I’m loving the Hat ❤️❤️ My tip is don’t forget to make sure your design is not upside down. Ask me how I know?! I laughed so hard, I will never make that mistake again! At least I hope not. 🙏🙏 I keep it on display in my craft room as a reminder. 🙏 Learn from your mistakes and NEVER give up! 💪🏼💪🏼

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

I love that! I have made that mistake more than 5 times! 😂🤣😂

[@merediths9698]

Great tips & reminders!!!! Best one is not to quit!!

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Thank you ❤️

[@davidlarrabee4574]

So true it is costly if you don’t have what you need

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Yes, because you will just end up spending money on stuff you don't need!

[@blakrosekreations]

Thanks again for the reminders, plz practice with your polyester fabric to get your time and temp down, not all are equal because of the type of your heat source and pressure. And mainly get you a journal to write down what works for you on different blanks.. Thank Delonda later! 😊

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Yes! Thank you!

[@gloriamontgomery8257]

Delonda is speaking the TRUTH! My best info was your top things needed to start my sublimation journey, don't know how many times I watched, double checked my list before starting! Thank you for sharing your knowledge ❤Gina

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@nahnisjourney1406]

Gina, I do the same thing. 😊 it helps me so much along the way.

[@Dee_B23]

Hi Delonda! Thank you for putting this into a Tutorial. It always helps to have a reminder and to refer others too. Take care!

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Thank you very much!

[@JCOMCreations]

Thank you for this. I totally agree with your tips. I didn’t research the heat press. I upgraded three times, each to a larger press, before I found the perfect press. Rushing is not a good idea. Saving for better quality equipment is best.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Thanks for sharing!

[@bluebungalowcrafts6397]

Thank you Delonda! I am not a first timer - but your tips are terrific! You teach and explain things so well.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Thank you ❤️

[@meJaneMakes]

Also, place butcher inside your polyester t-shirt to eliminate bleed through to back of shirt and bottom platen!

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Yes!

[@elizabethforth3631]

Tip: For a practice blank, I purchased a cheap white 100% polyester pillow case. Works great.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Great idea!!

[@nahnisjourney1406]

I had not thought of that. Thanks!

[@celandraanderson2092]

That’s what I did… got them from dollar tree

[@rebeccataravonschleinitz]

Delonda, I just plain love your personality. (Your content is great, too! 😘)

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Thank you so much ❤️

[@janet5666]

Awsome! tips delonda and your right. Do research and don;t be in a hurry, sure helps to learn first.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Thank you!

[@LanceMcGrew]

9:03 yeah but sure has been fun following you down those rabbit-holes :)

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Thank you so much!

[@meJaneMakes]

Your suggestion of starting with Infusible ink for sublimation is really great! In fact , I recently ordered off the amazon some Is infusible ink. I love you can just use an outline svg and the invisible ink designed paper put the beautiful pattern down for you as a fill. Super great idea.I'm testing out on polyester fabric.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Thank you very much!

[@deborahm7121]

Excellent advice for beginners thank you Delonda!

[@angelamcdonough1181]

Thanks for this! Such good info. Wish I would have known a lot of this two years ago 😅 Nice to know I’m not alone - learning the hard way. 😂

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Glad it was helpful!

[@angeleyes6615]

My advice is DONT OVER BUY lol when i started my critcut and sublimation journey i over bought. Juat focus on two projects master those and move on.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Oooooh yes, same! I had it very bad at the very beginning. Now, I have so many sublimation blanks it is ridiculous!

[@nahnisjourney1406]

⁠@@CraftingwithDelonda. Me, too, Delonda!!! Sometimes, it’s still hard not to buy blanks. I just got an order for 13 20 oz tumblers, so I ordered another case of tumblers to replace those. I just ordered a case of 30 oz straight tumblers, and a small case of 30 oz tumblers with handles. I just got an order 25 T-shirts for a local funeral home to give away to the next of kin. After they see how well the first 25 were accepted by families, they plan to order 75 more if it goes well.

[@ethelsmith-ames6089]

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

WOW!!! That is fantastic! I am proud of you. Isn't it great to learn how to use other software?!?!?

[@kawandalindsey368]

Hi Delonda 👋🏽. Awesome Video. Question: What is that printer stand that you have your printers on behind you? It looks similar to one that I have. Thanks. ❤😊

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Yes! Thank you for sharing this ❤️

[@meJaneMakes]

I have cricut easy press iron. I have 16x20 Trans Press Pro as well as their mug/tumbler press. I'm saving up for Stalhs hotronix IQ fusion 16x20 . I do have Stahls hat press.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Oh wow! Do you feel like you need the Cricut Easy Press?

[@meJaneMakes]

I bought that first when I bought my cricket.Maker 3, and it has its place.Definitely.I wouldn't really recommend it for sublimation.Cause you could move and ghost.Considering most sublimation needs to be high temp about sixty seconds. But it works great for H TV vinyl .If you don't want to heat up a really big press​@CraftingwithDelonda

[@TheShugluv7777]

Great tutorial for beginners ❤😊

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Thank you!

[@gwntl7]

I’ve already made the first mistake. Even so I know how to do the tumblers with the pre-printed template, but I don’t know how to do the computer part. I’ve watched many of your videos and they all are great. I’ve learned a lot, but I still need to go to a class with some hands on tutoring. Does anyone know of a class somewhere in Illinois.

[@meJaneMakes]

I have the Sawgrass 1000 with sublijet uhd ink. I also have the Siser Romeo. After being very frustrated with the Cricut maker 3, mostly Cricut design space is SO LIMITED if you want larger areas. Also, I don't like we cant export files to use print cut in Cricut.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Oooooh, this is good! Did you find it hard to learn new software?

[@lindacalderon6417]

I use Canva

[@meJaneMakes]

​@@CraftingwithDelondaOkay, to be honest, I've got the Romeo I haven't really done much past the test cut. But I kind of backburnered my little business because I'm in the middle of building a new house with an attached workshop plus I have tons of other hobbies like crochet and I just learned to weave.I know I like to do a lot of different things. 😂

[@JobFrancois-hq9gh]

Thanks Mrs can we make sublimation using word?

[@uplayitIlisten]

Hi Delonda "It's Me Delonda...lol i like when you say that- will you be investing in Singer Momento? ty kindly enjoy your day 🎉

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Thank you ❤️

[@youhoo2u2b]

I so,d the ink that came with my printer on ebay. Sold immediately.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Awesome

[@kawandalindsey368]

Hello Delonda 👋🏽.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Hi there!

[@kawandalindsey368]

❤😊

[@tayray920]

Hi Delonda. I’m not sure if you touched on this in this video. But what causes the little ink splatters? I use Butcher paper. I have been sublimating for a couple of years but i still get ink dots randomly on my garments. I have read that it can be the humidity in my workspace. Whatever it is, it is very frustrating.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Is it blue? If so, it is lint. Make sure to lint roll prior to applying any heat.

[@davidlarrabee4574]

Don’t try to get in to too many different softwares stick with one until you know what you’re doing other wise you will get frustrated

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Oh, yes David! This is great advice!

[@rossandrahenry8471]

Can tou sublimate on colored glass tumblers from Dollar Tree?

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

That's a great question; but unfortunately the answer is no.

[@meJaneMakes]

TIP: Don't FORGET to use butcher paper on top of your facedown sublimation print. You don't want the ink to bleed on your top platen!

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Yes, yes, and yes!

[@LanceMcGrew]

I need a source for your skull-cap patch :) The ones from Amazon are not working for me.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

I can ask @lovebirdheartworks. She gave it to me as a gift.

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

I personally purchased these and so far, so good: amzn.to/4acJrbk

[@meJaneMakes]

Hi Delonda!

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Hi there!

[@latashat34]

Where can I buy polyester shirts for men that are 1x and 2x

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

You might try Jiffy

[@deenel8700]

What is a sublimation blank?

[@CraftingwithDelonda]

Most Cricut products with the Infusible Ink label are sublimation blanks. They have a high polyester count.

[@deenel8700]

Thank you Delonda
