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

You don't understand how thankful I am for this video. So many people skip over the little steps, assuming everyone knows it, but as a super beginner, I've been searching for a video like yours. Thank you!

Just made my first htv shirt with the help of your video. Came to tell you how thankful I am and looking at the comments I know I came to the right place :) thank you, thank you, thank you!
You inspired me to make my first project. Thanks for this! Excited to make a shirt for my wife. I must be one of the only straight guys that’s into Cricut lol
Thanks for this. New to cricut and this is theeeee best and most informative tutorial I've found so far. You have a new subscriber here 💛
Good to see you again Lauren.. thanks for the tutorial.
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.
There are so many videos out there but by far this has been the simplest and the easiest to follow video
Thank you 🙏 so much ❤️ you helped me a lot with the HTV ❤️🇲🇽❤️ new to cricut and love to find videos like yours..
Thank you so much for making this video ! I finally made my first project ☺️ ✨
Thank you, I couldn’t understand why one of my HTV had transfer tape already on it and the other didn’t. But you made it so much clearer for me now. Thank you 😊
this was so helpful! couldn't have done it without ya
Thank you. You’re the first video that I really understood.
Thank you! I couldn’t figure out which side to put down on my cutting mat! Very helpful!
Great job as always! Very detailed . Mich appreciated
Thanks for sharing. Cant wait to do my first shirt.
This was a super helpful tutorial. Just made my first shirt. Tks
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.
Lauren I love your videos and they are easy to follow !

Love it, Can't wait to try it. Just ordered my Cricut Explora 2 and waiting for it to get here. Your videos are fantastic Thank you for sharing
Amazing video step by step thank you so much 👍👍👍
Love the tutorial. hello from 2022 ( as im writing this )hahaha. Ive seen alot of makers used Siser and gave it a good rating. I will try that for my next press. Thank You
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).
Great tutorial! Thanks
This was so helpful
good video. Thanks for doing it.
I loved it
does it matter if you put the HTV on the mat vertical or horizontal?

Hi! thank you for this video... Can you tell me specifically which easyweed siser htv you used? Thanks
Thank you for this video.
thats so funny i kept reading it as homeboy too until you pointed it out haaha
I noticed you loaded the vinyl vertical vs horizontal? New to cricut does the app instruct you wich way to load for cutting?
You made me laugh so much when you said I hope I didn't write Homeboy :^)
Thanks for this GREAT tutorial!!!! TFS newbie here 🌲🎅🌲
the htv doesn’t seem to be staying to well on my hoodies is it becuz of the vinyl brand or not pressing enough?
Great vid
How did you get it to print vertically like that and not how it was shown on the screen, horizontally? That seems like it saves youore transfer vinyl
Thank youuu!!
Hey, what did you use to cut the vinyl?
Im three quarters of the way in and you keep saying center as best as I can….. folding the shirt in half and pressing that will crease your mid line for you. Also you can fold the vinyl in half and that will also show you your halfway point. Great video loving all the help!!!
very helpful
Thank you!

Omg my husband and I were about ready to throw our CRICUT out the window! You made this very simple to understand and showed step by step, now we have to order more HTV because we wasted so much.
Hi, I hope you can help me but have you tried it on a different fabrics then cotton?
Did you mention the heat settings for the press in this video? If not, what we’re they? Thanks!
Did you use a heat resistant pad?

Hello, I’m new to your channel and thank you for your hard work on creating content for us. I wanted to know if I had to pay a subscription fee to use the program after we install it to a computer or tablet?
Can you help? I 'm printing on vinyl but the machine thinks it's a print and is looking for those side lines. I don't remember what those sensor lines are called. But it won't cut image out
On design space, do they have a holographic color for the lettering?
I really thought it said Homeboy in the beginning I died laughing when you addressed it 😂
Do you have to have that clear paper at the bottom of the letters?
Can I duplicate that and do it all at once for multiple shirts?
what type of computer do you have a where did you get it?
Does the design space software come with the circuit equipment? Or do you get it separately??

Yes
How did you set it so that the machine can cut it sideways like that? And you didn't use a whole sheet?
loved this!
So you put the shinny side of it down on the mat?
Super awesome, I'm subscribing. Sorry you burned the finger. I was like ouuuch
What’s the heat setting on Cricut iron? How many seconds to press on?
Thank you for this tutorial! Question, how do I know what way to put the vinyl on the mat? Ex: horizontally or vertical? Does it matter?

Doesn’t matter - just make sure it matches the mat in design space so your letters cut out on the vinyl Properly!

I just got heat transfer vinyl for mug press. And I can't get the backing off without it tearing!!
“Homeboy” 😂😂😂
Do i need to spray something on 100% cotton before doing HTV?
Is it because i forgot to put my cricut on iron on it was on vinyl
hi thanks for your help! one question: how do you print out your design that you’ve created ? 💓💓 thats the part i’m stuck on
@britainylinde

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!
Awesome video . Curious if you had anything inside the sweatshirt at all while using heat press ?.. I've never used one so have a few questions . So nervous to use one

HTV comes with a carrier sheet you don’t need transfer tape
Where did you buy the vinyl paper??
There are rulers for HTV. Thanks for the tutorial.
Do you have a tutorial on using 2 colors

Are you mirroring your image and pressing with the carrier sheet over the actual HTV?
