    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.

    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. :)

      @Expressionsvinyls  3 года назад +1

      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 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.

    • @Expressionsvinyls
      @Expressionsvinyls  6 лет назад

      Thank You for your feedback. We also recommend the pre-pressing on the shirts to prevent shrinking.

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!

      Registration marks are great for layering. The 1st layer did make eyeballing the rest of the layers easier.

    • @Expressionsvinyls
      @Expressionsvinyls  2 года назад

      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.
