    When this came up on my KZread suggested videos I rewatched it because you always give good advice. I now have the mini along with the one EP and two EP2's, so, yes, I love them. I did six shirts a week ago (I did post them). But here's a funny story with infusible ink. I had to slice out where black was going to go on blue skateboards. Now I'm placing my transfer sheet on the shirt and being very careful to line up and fit in all the black where necessary. I even strategically taped down the edges so nothing would move. Put the butcher paper on top, used my large EP2, and guess what I didn't do? I forgot to put ink side down on my shirt - never turned the darn thing over. Holy cow and yikes. So now I have a beautiful image on my butcher paper. But there seems to be quite a bit of ink on my sheet so I quick turned it over and pressed. Voila! A bit more distressed than I initially expected, but came out fine and got lots of compliments on FB.

    Does parchment paper work instead of butcher paper? Thank you so much for this tutorial! I just got my first easypress (though I may try and return it and get an Easypress 2... I found a better deal and it seems like the Easy Press 2 would be a better option for me as I would probably upgrade it at some point anyways). Which video or blog post of yours has tips and tricks about using the bigger easy press for smaller projects?

    Butcher paper is recommended because it doesn't have a silicone coating like parchment does. I do not have any tutorials using a large EasyPress for small projects. :)

    You do not need to use water to press fusible interfacing onto fabric but use a cloth over it to avoid it from sticking to your iron. There are a lot of options to choose from. Joann fabrics has a variety to choose from so it is worth a trip to your local store to make sure that you get what you need and want for the specific project you are making.
