Q&A

How to cut and press Heat Transfer Vinyl with a Circut Cutter ?

  1. Choose your design: Open Cricut Design Space and create or select the design you want to cut. Keep in mind that if your design includes text, you need to mirror the image before cutting. To do this, click "Edit" and enable the "Mirror" option.
  2. Prepare your materials: Place the iron-on vinyl on the cutting mat with the shiny side (carrier sheet) facing down. Make sure your mat is clean and free of debris for optimal adhesion.
  3. Adjust settings: In Cricut Design Space, select the material you're using (e.g., "Iron-On" or "Everyday Iron-On") and ensure that your machine is set to the correct settings.
  4. Cut the design: Load the mat into the Cricut machine and press the "Load/Unload" button. Then, start the cutting process by pressing the "Go" button or "C" button on your Cricut machine.
  5. Weed the excess vinyl: Once the cutting is complete, remove the vinyl from the cutting mat. Carefully weed out the excess vinyl from your design using a weeding tool or a pair of tweezers, leaving only the desired design on the carrier sheet.
  6. Preheat your iron or heat press: Follow the manufacturer's instructions to preheat your iron or heat press to the appropriate temperature for your specific iron-on vinyl.
  7. Prepare your fabric: Place the fabric you want to apply the design to on a flat, heat-resistant surface. Preheat the fabric by pressing the iron or heat press on the area for a few seconds.
  8. Position the design: Place the weeded design onto the fabric with the carrier sheet facing up (shiny side). Ensure it is correctly aligned and positioned.
  9. Apply heat: Using your iron or heat press, apply even pressure and heat to the design for the recommended amount of time. Check the instructions for your specific iron-on vinyl for recommended temperature and time.
  10. Remove the carrier sheet: Allow the design to cool for a few moments, then carefully peel away the carrier sheet. If the vinyl is not sticking to the fabric properly, reapply heat for a few more seconds and try again.
Remember to follow the specific instructions provided by the manufacturer of your iron-on vinyl, as different brands and types may have slightly different application processes.
