I have a love hate relationship with Easy Subli. I have made a bunch of shirts with it. Just a note, the more white you have in your design, the more chance it will look dingy later. I never could get the heat transfer mask to work coincidently enough. I did get a different heat transfer mask from Siser to work, but the Siser heat transfer mask that came with it just never worked for me. I used the Parchment paper trick to put the design on it and then tacked it afterward. I saw a video on YT that showed me how. Just a tip. Try to wash it alone on delicate and don't dry it. It will last a lot longer.

Great video as always. So HTV is not mirrored? How does it adhere to the shirt?

Mirroring a design basically flips the design backwards. It doesn’t change how it is adhered to fabric because you aren’t mirroring the vinyl itself just the design.

Yes, you can choose any single cut files to use for etching. If you can cut it with vinyl to iron on a shirt you should be able to cut a stencil and use it for etching.

Have there been any issues with the HTV cracking or peeling later on just due to wear and washing?

It will wear just like a regular iron-on shirt. It will last longer with cold wash inside out and low heat dry or air dry.

So everything I am coming across for sub on a dark shirt is to put a vinyl backing down first, which seems to only transfer the color to the vinyl, not the fabric. I don’t like the plastic stiff feel of vinyl, is there a method to sub directly to the fabric of a dark shirt?

​@@BabsAsante follow Jennifer's tutorials. They are loaded with vital information. In general, you would print out your sublimation designs, then cut out your vinyl backgrounds. Tack the vinyl to the shirt, then sublimate onto the vinyl. If the white names are part of the sublimated design, you'd select white for them as you design the print. If the white names are separate from the sublimated design, then cut them from the same vinyl you're sublimating on just to simplify everything. Tack all the vinyl at the same time, the line up your print and sublimate. Definitely follow Jennifer's tutorials. They give exact information.

Hi Jennifer, how’s the htvront holding up with washes? Thank you

@JenniferMaker

27 күн бұрын

It has not been through many washes but to help preserve it here are tips directly from HTVRONT. The cure of HTV will take a while. When the adhesive on the heat transfer vinyl is thermally activated, the adhesive sinks into the fibers of shirts, bags, pants, etc. After application, it takes a while for the adhesive to harden and cool without interruption. If you pick up that shirt and throw it into the washing machine and dryer immediately, the vinyl will most likely peel or crack. www.htvront.com/blogs/beginners-guide-precautions/tips-for-washing-shirts-with-htv-vinyl

What is the name of the application that you are using to edit?

Here are some tips. jennifermaker.com/sublimation-mistakes/ Ghosting can happen when air or air pressure gets underneath the transfer paper-even when the paper is still taped to the panel. Leave the transfer paper taped and untouched until the panel cools.

I’m confused! I use Siser Easysubli a lot & I don’t understand why you are saying that you use it under sublimation paper design as opposed to printing the design directly onto the Siser Easysubli & then heat press it directly onto the fabric?

@dianaspears4569

If printing with an Epson, the ink will not dry completely and will smear if printed directly onto the Easysubli. This is why she print on sub paper and then press onto the Easysubli. If printing with a Sawgrass, you are able to print directly onto the Easysubli.

I watched another KZread video once that showed how to use Siser Glimmer HTV for sublimation. I tried it and the designs blurred within a couple of months. Thankfully, I didn't do too many items with it. I have also found that if you have a big chunky design to that doesn't need a lot of weeding, you really don't need to use the EasiSubli mask. Just place the vinyl on the fabric, cover it with parchment and press according to instructions. Great video, Jennifer!
