This video gives a step-by-step tutorial on how to layer heat transfer vinyl onto a t-shirt. Jessica gives an example showing which types of vinyl can be used for this project.
The vinyl mentioned in this video is easyweed, stripflock, holographic, glitter and metallic heat transfer vinyl. This video focuses on layering easyweed on top of stripflock.
Jessica talks about her struggle during her first few attempts with the black background layer shrinking. This problem can be avoided by layering easyweed on top of stripflock.
She then proceeds to fold the t-shirt in half to make sure she knows her design is centered. It’s important to make sure you don’t press your vinyl too long or it could ruin the adhesive backing. It’s also important to remember that stripflock, which is used as the bottom layer, is a cold peel. Wait a few minutes for the garment to cool and then peel off your carrier sheet.
Line up each layer in the correct spot and don’t forget to protect the bottom layer with some multi-use paper. Continue this process until each layer is on your garment. To make sure everything is adhered properly once every layer is down, press the complete design for a full 10 seconds.
This tutorial is demonstrated with a heat press, but a regular home iron can also be used.

This is the 2nd video of yours that I have seen today. I don't understand why I haven't seen you before, but I like your presentation. You are clear, concise, understandable and minus all the loud music others seem to think should go in a tutorial. Thank you.
We're glad you found us and that our tutorials are helpful. Thanks for tuning in!
And minus the five minute introductory monologue most tutorials think are necessary.
THE FOLD IDEA FOR CENTER! So simple it's brilliant. THANK YOU.
Just getting into heat transfer - literally a couple of days into it. I was struggling like crazy to get things centered and whatnot. Not once did I think about folding the shirt....
Glad I found this video!
Yeah, we're glad you found us!
The best tutorial on layers AND on the different types of vinyl for layering. I loved it! Thank you so much for this!
You're welcome! Thanks for tuning in!
This looked so difficult to me until I watched you do it.🤦🏻♀️Thanks so much!
Great video. Easy to follow. I can't understand why someone would dislike this tutorial.
Nice video. Just a suggestion. I print my template on overhead projector paper. as I place each layer, I lay the clear projector paper over the layer of my design just to make sure its lined up just right, then remove the template before I press. :)
What a great idea, thanks for the tip!
my-MADART hmm is it possible that you complete video showing
my-MADART what's the name of the pressing machine,it's my first time watching this,it's so awesome 😁
How?
omg wow this video was great and all, but I am so glad I read the comments because this tip is exactly what I needed thank you!!
You did a wonderful job of explaining what you were doing, while you were doing it. You are very articulate and that really helps to understand what you are doing. Thank you for doing this.
You are very welcome, Jackie!
I immediately liked and subscribed like 2 minutes in, but I wished I could have seen the cutting process. I know the pros get that part but I still have issues with that part of the layering. Great tips in this video!
This one shows modification of designs in the program up to sending to the cutting machine and then applying it to the shirt. ruclips.net/video/qYxTxJU7lvg/видео.html and this shows more from the beginning to end. ruclips.net/video/uCuFjANhjXI/видео.html I hope that helps!
Great video.i never thought of doing something as easy as folding and pressing the shirt and the VHT to get the center.i always set my images a little off.thank you for posting this video.
Thank you for watching!
Me too, lol so simple!

The white highlights on the 2nd rubiks cube shirt looks sick! I thought it was intentional
Some people don't know that "Sick" can be a compliment. I know She is not that old, but something tells me that She might not know it's a compliment. 👊😁👍
Great video!! I've learned so much from this.
Great job

Thank you!!!
Great video on doing multi-layer HTV shirts. I did notice that you don't pre-heat the shirt before applying the background. I am wondering if this was the cause of the shrinking on the problem shirts. I have done a number of multilayer shirts and have not seen this type of problem. I would definitely recommend a good 10 second press (cotton or cotton blends) before doing the first layer to prevent shrinkage of the shirt under the vinyl when the first layer is applied. For more heat sensitive synthetics it should not be as much of an issue because they don't absorb so much moisture. It is also interesting to note that red shirts will often color shift darker when you drive out the moisture. This is a temporary effect due to the dyes used for red but will return to the normal shade when the moisture level normalizes.
Thank You for your feedback. We also recommend the pre-pressing on the shirts to prevent shrinking.
Wow! Beautiful!
SO HELPFUL!! THANK YOU
Hi are you into dating black men
Absolutely amazing tutorial thank you!
I always get on the wagon last after the craze is gone....so now I am starting with this and waiting for my cameo [bought from some-one who lost interest]...
Thanks so much! What a helpful video.

Thank You!
Very easy to learn, great job👍👍👍👍👍
Great video! So helpful for a newbie. Thanks so much.
Great video! Learned a lot from it. I’m planning on making the Rubik’s cube for my grandson and was wondering if easy weed STRETCH can be used instead of strip flock or is strip flock best to use for this project! Thank you
Absolutely! We recommend applying the the stretch with a heat press (instead of an iron or cricut press)
That was a great video. Thank you for your Time and sharing your professional advise and techniques. I appreciate it.
You are welcome! We're glad it helped!
Thanks
Welcome
Great video! I want to make t-shirts now☺
Thanks! Once you start making your own shirts you'll never go back to buying screen print tees! Have fun:)

Great tips
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for this video. Do you have the pattern for the Rubik’s cube? I want to make one.
We do not have a cut file for the Rubik's cube.
So amazing! I really want to get a presser like that and get into t-shirts too. New subscriber.
Welcome!! Thanks for watching, we hope you find our videos helpful!
Very helpful! Thanks for posting this video!
Can you link the brand of vinyl you use on this design?
Thank you. This was very helpful!!!
Im impressed. You did an awesome job on that shirt!
Thanks!
Outstanding.
Thank you!!! Great video!
Amazing thanks
Thank you too!
how do you print the separate layers
? Do you have any videos about that too? Thanks,
Here is a screen cast of creating layers to cut on the Silhouette ruclips.net/video/jbsSp06I-lI/видео.html
Do you have a video that you explain the different types of vinyl and brands there are, what it means if they are a "hot" or "cold" vinyl and how to find that information? And also what kind of heat press you're using?
Google it. There are lists of this all over the internet.
Great job! My eyes were crosssing by the end, LOL!
There were a lot of layers on this one.
very creative
Awesome video. Do you have a video explaining how you design this image? And separate the layers on the software that you use?
Thanks so much !!!
Yes! Check it out! ruclips.net/video/jbsSp06I-lI/видео.html
Thanks! Super helpful
You are welcome!
Hi. Can I ask where did u find the rubic cube svg ? I really like that shirt and would love to make it. Good job by the way on explaining
Excellent video! Very helpful !! THANK YOU!! All the "um"s were a bit distracting, though.
We're glad you liked it and thank you for the feedback. We'll work on that.
Really nice video and the shirt looks great but, can you make a video how cut the vinyl color by color or step by step thank you and blessings
Hi, we do have a video for that. Here is the link - ruclips.net/video/jbsSp06I-lI/видео.html

Thank You so much for tuning in!

We're so glad it helped!
Wow great video! from Ontario Canada Cheers☕
Great video thanks
That's awesome, thank you!
I've been so intimidated about doing HTV, is there a particular HTV I should begin with? I do have a sample pack of your products just so I can start, I believe it is easy weed. Also, do all cuts, even those without wording need to be mirrored? Probably a dumb question, I just want to be sure, I do it correctly. Are all the HTV products "beginner" friendly? I thank you so very much for your info vids and your store. Thank you also for your time, May the New Year bring you Much Rewards!
May I ask why you aren’t using registration marks for layering instead of eyeballing the image?
Registration marks are great for layering. The 1st layer did make eyeballing the rest of the layers easier.
thank you so much this was lots of help
nice video..please made a video from bighin..haw you cut this vinil..all ..thanks for the video
Here is the video showing how to layer the image. ruclips.net/video/61jSgAL7Q8w/видео.html
great vid! i ordered some htv from you and i’m loving it, however i’m running into a snag with layering. using the slice method, i line my layers up perfectly on my shirt, however when i press them with heat they seem to slightly shrink, leaving open space between the layers. do you have any tips for this? thanks!
Tacking each layer down with a few seconds of heat until the full amount with the last layer will help reduce the shrinkage, but there will still likely be some shrinkage, even slightly.
what a great video! Thanks for sharing
Great video. Do you have one that shows how to cut the pieces?
We sure do! ruclips.net/video/jbsSp06I-lI/видео.html
Thank you much
Just curious, what’s the manufacturing cost for this shirt with all the different layers?
