Great video, but was hoping it would show how to sublimate with only Canva. I'm wondering if it doesn't look as nice using canvas only. If it's best to use other sites thats fine, but since I currently use Canva I didn't want to add anything else unless necessary . I have enough going on right now to make my head spin. However, thank goodness for KZread University . Thanks for taking the time to do this.

Thanks for the tutorial would you have any tutorial's on branding and how to decide your colors and fonts

What a great tutorial! Thank you. My only thought was about the white lettering...I've heard the sublimation inks don't print white? But that it just ends up being negative space.

@DIYAlex

No printer prints white ink unless it is a white toner printer. So white spaces are always negative space. ☺️

I don't know if this is appropriate to ask but I'm going to ask anyway... I have 4 Cricut machines. I don't have a website and have never made money using them. I just make things (and buy things apparently) however I recently got into sublimation and have two heat presses and two sublimation machines haha.. didn't know which to buy so I bought the two that had best reviews. I DO want to make money at some point with them but I mainly just play around and donate to schools and such. ANYWAY.. question.. my Cricut yearly fee is coming up in a few weeks. Do we really need to pay that or can we still use the machines without the Cricut subscription?

Like if they wanted to take one shape out or so? Idk if I’m asking this correctly so forgive me 😩

You can't sublimate white ink because your printer can't print white ink. So you just sublimate on a white shirt, and the shirt will show through the design and look white.

You can do it in Canva, but you have to select each element and select Flip > Horizontal. So it can be a pain if you have a lot of layers! It's honestly easier to download the design and flip it when you actually get to print. I show you how to flip it in this video if you want to see how it's done in Canva: kzread.info/dash/bejne/Y2Ftr5ixlLm-ftY.html It should be around 11:00 in this video!

If you print with white writing like you had in the video does the white show up as white on a colored tshirt? If so does that mean I need to use my cricut or scissors to cut around the edge so it doesn’t have white around the edge?

@DIYAlex

Regular printers don't have white ink, so you can't print anything white. White areas will just show the shirt fabric through the design. White won't transfer to the shirt, so no need to trim the design.
