Puff Vinyl with a Cricut EasyPress: A Complete Guide!

Hey, here's a video I made showing you a few simple techniques to get really great results with Puff vinyl and a Cricut EasyPress. What's the secret? Even pressure and consistent base layer.
I've got 3 different brands of HTV, and it's a chance for you to see how these different products perform head to head:
- Siser EasyPuff in white, yellow and neon yellow
- WALAKut Puff in neon blue
- FashionFlex Puff from ‪@SpecialtyMaterials‬ in lilac
This video shows three techniques for making t-shirts: applying puff vinyl directly on fabric, applying puff on @Siser StripFlock Pro HTV, and applying puff on both fabric and stripflock in the same design.
The main takeaway is: don't be intimidated by puff HTV! It's highly variable, and some people get discouraged when their results don't match expectations. All it takes is a bit of patience, the will to do a bit of testing and using the other easy tips shown in the video.
Some people say you can't get good puff results with an EasyPress, but here's all the proof you need that you can get great results without professional quality equipment. Puff is for the people!

    Your voice sounds so much like Mr Crafty Stax, LOL! Thank you so much for such a great tutorial! I don’t have room for a heat press beyond the Cricut Easy Press so I really appreciate your focus on how to get the best results with that tool. 🙏

    Thanks for the kind compliment! I'm in the same boat as you: I don't have room for a full size heat press in my home, and I think that an EasyPress is more than enough for HTV. I want to show people that they can get great results with this handy machine!

    Thanks Nikki! StripFlock Pro is a serious lifesaver when you're working with puff vinyl. Check out the link in the description - its sold in a wide variety of colors at Heat Transfer Warehouse. I hope it works out for you!

    Hi, thanks for your comment. Generally you should wait 24 hours to wash after pressing puff vinyl. Turn the garment inside out and wash in cold water with a mild detergent. You can tumble dry on low heat or hand the garment to dry. Avoid using fabric softener. Good luck!

    Love the video...was just wondering have you had any lifting with the puff

  • @SniptoIt

    With the puff alone, (Siser, WALAKut & FashionFlex), I never get lifting. When using StripFlock under puff, It is crucial to make sure the StripFlock is well adhered. I have never gotten lifting of puff off the StripFlock, but I have had one instance of StripFlock lifting at the corner after laundering. Don't be afraid to over-press StripFlock. You can press it for nearly the full recommended time, and then press puff HTV on top of it for the puff's full recommended time.

    @mahoganybrown thanks for the question...I recommend Siser StripFlock Pro because you can layer on top of it. There may be other types of flock that can be layered, but I haven't tested them and I can't offer a recommendation.

    Interesting! All my puff vinyl musst be put SHINY SIDE DOWN because the shiny side is the carrier. So shiny side down, mirror the design, cut, harvest, than press! How could it make sense to cut it from the shiny side? Cricut can’t even cut through the complete vinyl! So that’s why it won’t work. That’s what I learned by using puff vinyl myself. At 04:01 it’s written in the screen “place shiny side down”, but haven’t you told it vice versa when you explained it?

    Hi, sorry for the confusion. In this video, all of the puff vinyl I use has a matte carrier, and the matte side must face the cutting mat. At the 04:01 mark, I am referring to Siser StripFlock Pro, a different type of HTV that I use as a base layer for the puff designs. StripFlock Pro has a shiny carrier sheet. I hope that explains it!
