-Parchment paper

Step by Step
1) Open Design Space and open a new project
2) Create a text box and write your text
3) Size the text according to your shirt dimensions
4) Once you have your text how you like it, WELD the text together
5) Click MAKE IT
6) ***MIRROR YOUR IMAGE ONCE YOU GET TO THE MAKE IT SCREEN THIS STEP IS SUPER IMPORTANT!***
7) Select your settings - for regular HTV just select Iron On
8) Put HTV ***SHINY SIDE DOWN**** on your mat
9) Load your mat into your machine using arrow buttons
10) Once loaded, click your Cricut button
11) Once cut, unload your mat and take HTV off your mat
12) Weed out negative space so that you are left with the letters
13) Put your carrier sheet with the HTV onto your sweat shirt and center or place it how you like (put the sticky side of the carrier sheet on your shirt - the text will not be backwards)
14) Once you have it how you like it, heat up your heat press or iron (for iron, TURN OFF STEAM and use hottest setting)
15) Once your image is ready to go, put the parchment paper on top of the carrier sheet and PRESS - don't move your heat source around just set it on the image and press
16) Peel off carrier sheet

    So happy that I found your video tutorial. Your instructions were very simple. I have been a cricut user for about 14 months now. I design tshirts basically for my family, especially my toddler grandchildren. I love making the tshirts but using and understanding cricut can be challenging. I just ordered the HTVRONT heat press and currently awaiting the delivery. I just wanted to understand how to use it before it arrives regarding if you still needed to mirror the vinyl before printed. Your video confirmed my thoughts. Thank you so much. Your tutorial has been the easiest to understand than most.

    Thank you Lauren! Wish I'd had this available about 3 wks ago when I did my first shirt LOL! I've bought more HTV and am ready to make more and just got a 9x9 easy press. (I think yours is the 12x10) You asked for ideas so here goes: 1. video about how to LAYER colors with HTV (I don't want to wreck a bunch of expensive HTV). 2. making large stencils with freezer paper so I can spray paint my 14x26 sign (my test was a fail because I couldn't get it off of the mat nicely) and just ended up using a ton of vinyl. That is all I have for ideas - you are my fav Cricut instructor so keep 'em coming.

    Thank you for the video, it really helped out for my first heat-press project. Alternatively, my eyes don't work because I constantly thought that the letters were loose and that I needed to re-heat the letters, only to realize after the third heating that they were already applied, it's just that the fabric got a little stuck. So it was good after the first or second heating, I just thought it wasn't working properly. Big "Oops" on my part. (For clarity's sake, I was using white print on black fabric which could explain the issue with depth perception).

    If you want it to be one color like she did, you use cricut design space to upload a picture and load it into your cricut to cut! If you want to iron on a picture you have to get a printer and then once it prints, the cricut can cut the outline of it. Hope this helps!
