Wash Test: Can you sublimate a 50% Polyester 50% Cotton Gildan Sweatshirt? Does it fade?

I have had so many questions since my last video about My Mommy and Me sublimation sweatshirts so I thought I would do a quick WASH TEST to show you my results and answer the questions: Can you sublimate a 50/50 Sweatshirt? What does it look like after it is washed?
Watch and see my results!

I love you so much for this! I've been looking for something like this! I've been wanting to invest in 50/50 but wasn't sure how the sublimation would take, and I was scared to lose money! Thank You a Million times over!

[@reginagil2786]

thank you so much for showing this! i have to sublimate on these exact sweatshirts and soooo many people told me to not even try it. but you calmed me down so much! thank you!!

[@customtshirtboutique]

Thank you so much for doing the wash test! They held up sooo well! Looks great!! ☺️

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

Yay!!! You are so welcome!!!

[@ARXER-hi1zs]

I sublimate 50/50 blends all the time and they hold up great with little to no fading at all. Not sure why other's have problems. Maybe we're just lucky 😀

[@Imyourmoose]

I am thinking of storting a sublimation buisness. The only big problem I have is that I don't want to use 100% polyster. My own t shirts that I bought are 50/50, but the style isnt super detailed / realistic but look very nice on their own. So can i presume I can so a 50/50 for my clothing line?

[@titomag]

@@Imyourmoose I sell a bunch of gildan 50/50 sweatshirts. I recommend the light colored and heather ones as they tend to hold ink better after the first wash. The only issue would be to sublimate on darker colors like green/indigo/purple etc. because the heat press can leave a rectangle scorch mark, most likely due to the dye used on the shirt and polyester scorching at high temps.

[@87studga]

look good.... like the 50/50 going with your video... Thank u...

I love the “I try to treat the things like I think the customers would” 🤣 I don’t take any special treatment to anything of mine that I make either.

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

Love the Gildan brand shirts and sweatshirts. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on your wash/drying experience.

[@aredahicks4955]

Thank you!!! I needed this video!

[@CozyCraftyVibes]

Thank you much!

[@Thissimplelifecrazy]

Great tutorial! What sublimation ink do you use, please?

[@dannyela4436]

Sorry it might be a dumb question but did you wash them with hot water or cold? Thank you so much for the video it’s exactly what I was looking for!

[@brandonrobinson1603]

Great video, thank you

[@MsPhipho91]

Thank U

[@cecegilmour1742]

What time/temp do you use? Mine are burning at 400° F/60 seconds. I’ve lowered to 375/50 seconds and I’m not sure I’m happy with it still. Haven’t had a problem with shirts just these sweatshirts :(

[@idadejesus931]

Hi wowvthats great what about the gilden t shirts that is 50 percent poly ?

[@Lovebitescreations]

Super cool❤️

[@denisemamone1016]

Thank You!!

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

You're welcome!

[@user-el6qv5es5p]

I love you for this video! Thank you- do you ever use PolyTPro sprays on these?

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

I have not! Have you?

[@murielnxumalo-yx6gj]

What brand of heat transfer paper do you recommend when using blend tshirts?

[@unclerichard6729]

This has me wondering if the transfers are holding up because of the heavier material compared to t shirts. Does anyone know if the fabric weight makes a difference?

[@LucyLu70]

Thank you soooo much.

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

You are welcome!!

[@ivettesanchez7947]

What sub paper did you use

[@amandahauf9343]

I order gildan g800 shirts in graphite heather will it be good for sublimation

[@kenelkins7944]

question .....How long and what temperature do you press on for 50/50? Mine always looks a little faded.

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

I do 400 for 60 seconds! I use hydrogen peroxide mist if it gets scorched!

[@stephaniea7881]

Wait what? Hydrogen peroxide mist? I’ve never heard to do this can you elaborate

[@shantellpinto6123]

Thanks for the wash demo. Did the red fade or bleed? Thanks again!

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

I showed at the end! It was a tiny tiny bit of fading of the red, but still looked amazing!!! No bleeding!!!

[@kaitlincalkins4663]

What brand of ink do you use to sublimate?

[@chelseamills8217]

Hi Ashley! Thank you so much for doing this video!!! I’ve been so excited to sublimate on these! I did do it on a white Gildan sweatshirt and I noticed tiny tiny little blue spots on the parts that were in the heat press almost like a couple individual fibers spread out throughout the sweatshirt had invisible ink on them before pressing and then showed up blue. Have you encountered this and know how I can stop it from happening? It’s so tiny but it bugs me! Thank you again I just love these!

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

Yes 👍 dreaded blue dots!!! I lint roll and lint roll and when I think it’s enough I lint roll some more ! I still will get occasional blue dots but just lint roll like crazy before your press and that should take care it!

[@michellepoell4983]

What sublimation ink do you use?!

[@cynthiawhite1447]

Do I press for 60 sec @ 400 for these, or will it scorch?

[@kenelkins7944]

Wondering the same thing.

[@Stephanii213]

Pilling?

[@skeetazfun7105]

❤️

[@normadeleon7242]

Can you sublimate on gilden %100 cotton shirts ?

[@TheMonogramMompreneur]

No! You need polyester shirts! the higher the polyester count the longer lasting/brighter the ink!

[@jenniferherrera7633]

Hi. I just subbed on a white 50/50 like yours. I also have the same press but it shows a square almost like a burn mark the square of the press. Any suggestions? I even did 380 for 60 😢

[@Wowcoolcraftwithestep]

maybe the heat press pressure was hard , just do a medium pressure
