Before watching this video, I would just throw away the garment if I made a mistake because I didn’t know HTV could be removed. I tried method 2 today and it worked wonders! Thank you so much for this video!

amazing, I used the second tip/hack! This is revolutionary for me in my daily work life. Thank you so much. Never would have thought this would work. I'm saving so much merchandise now and it's also taking the fear out of my daily heat press work as I don't have to worry about making a small mistake again. Thanks so much.

Thank you! I was so frustrated about to just give up, but the heat press worked! Super easy and fast.
Thank you!! I do not have a heat press, I used my iron and it worked! There is a shadow on the fabric, but I plan on placing the same design again. You saved me!!
Game changer for those of us who continually forget to weed something, somewhere! Thanks!
Thank you so much for this! The solvent did the trick for me on 2 faux leather sling bags that I was hoping to salvage. Worked like a charm!
I literally needed these very answers for how I lifted off htv from my husband's shirt the 2nd way (mini iron) barely last night! It left a sticky, colored residue so I'll be reheating the inside of the shirt where the residue is and use the copy paper to lift off? Very interesting, I will definitely try that tonight, thank you so much. 💓
I have watched another video before seeing yours and it said to heat the mini press up the maximum temperature and then iron slowly over the top of the vinyl what you want to remove and the vinyl will start to curl. To my surprise it worked. If you cannot always get to the back then this works great. Thank you - your videos are always full of information :)

well I didn't have either of those things so after a little experimentation what worked for me was wrapping the shirt around a curling iron (bracing the tip where it doesn't get hot against the table) and then rubbed at the vinyl with the side of a small flat silicone mold that I had. Worked like a charm!

Thanks for the tips. I used my mini easy press method yesterday to remove a small mistake on a shirt. It did leave a bit of residue behind, but it was a darker shirt and not very noticeable, and the shirt was for me, so I can live with it. Now I will try to remove it with copy paper. I think I will look for the Vinyl Lifter to keep on hand.

Luckily this doesn't happen to me often, buuuutttt, I just had a mishap last week where I missed weeding the center of a letter. I have NO idea why I didn't think of holding the shirt on the mini press. I did use it and heated from behind but then immediately tried using my pin pin tool. It was catching the fibers of the shirt. Well, next time I'll hold it under there OR use the awesome VLR that I just purchased using your link. I know my local shop has the bigger one but didn't want to spend the $20+ on it so, I went with the smaller one! Thank you for the tips!
You saved my project!!

Hello 👋 would you recommend Liftoff for a graduation cap if htv needed to be removed?
I got the "Heat from the back" to work on my press. I threaded the top/heating element into the sweater, with the chest /graphic facing down and the heating element at it's back. Using a teflon pillow i was able to hold the garment against the heat and remove the vinyl in portions... Thank you for the tip.

So I recently quit a job that I have a whole bunch of nice shirts and sweatshirts from that I want to take the logo off. I can tell that the logos are htv because of the stuff I’ve done with my Cricut. Will these methods work on the as well

So I came across this while doing something similar but also different (trying to separate already partially peeling vinyl/faux leather from a fabric based backing). +I don't know how it may/may not work for you, or with various chemicals, but instead of just fingers you might want to consider using a plastic card (old gift cards for example) as a scraping tool.

Any suggestions for removing PRINTABLE HTV? I used Silhoutte Printable HVT for dark fabrics and created a 1 pc. square design on a 50/50 poly-cotton T shirt. The HTV did lift the vinyl however it cracked it in a million tiny pieces so using tweezers to lift it off was impossible. I used a scraper and although I was able to scrape 90% off the remaining residue and tiny pieces will not come off and have smudged into the fabric. I tried LOTS of VLR, inside, outside, heat inside & out nothing has removed the bits and residue. I tried both methods shown in your video, LOTS of VLR, inside, outside, heat inside & out nothing has removed the bits and residue. Any other suggestions?
