  • Struggling to decide which heat press you should get? Today's video talks about the differences between both the cricut easy press 2 and a commercial/clamshell heat press! (featuring my starcraft heat press from 143 vinyl!) I do some test presses with some cute canvas bags and talk about the pros & cons at the end of the video. Hope this helps :)

    Thanks Amy! I just started making t-shirts to sell & I have an EasyPress 2. I love it, but, you’re right, the downside is having to manually apply pressure, sometimes multiple times. Definitely thinking about getting the clamshell so that I can be more productive. 😉

    I have an easypress 12x10 because I don’t have room for a clamshell, but when I do get room…it’s going to be the StarCraft in mint to match my Cricut Air2 and my easypress. 😊

    This helped a lot! so I figured getting the heat-press is better than the easy press due to the work but I'm a beginner so I will just start off with the easy press first lol

    I currently have the easypress mini, but I’m definitely getting the easypress 2 soon. I made a sweatshirt with my mini a few days ago and quickly realized how badly I really need the bigger easypress. I hope to invest in the heat press in the future. Great video!

    • @AmyMakesThat

      not necessarily! I use both my EasyPress and heatpress alongside one another. both are great to have for different projects if your space allows both. The EasyPress is great to have as a beginner to get used to heat pressing (and is a good arm workout haha) plus their mini one is great for smaller projects too!

    I just ordered a clam shell press. Every time I try to do a sublimation design with my easy press2 it never fails that my image ghosts. I’m hoping the clamshell press fixes that 🤞🏼

    Would you recommend doing a sublimation family photo blanket with the Cricut easy press? Been looking for videos that show rather it’s good way to do it or not, I have the HTVront and thought it would be easier to use the easy press vs the HTVront?? Or should I get a clamshell? Idk what’s best? What’s your opinion?

    Thanks heaps for your videos, I only got my cricut 3 weeks ago and already I am addicted, I've watched all your videos!!! Love your style 😍.
    Can I put a request in for a Fonts video, how you pick them, what the difference is between the types (serif, sans serif, script etc), how you store and catalogue your fonts...just all things fonts. I am feeling pretty overwhelmed by all the choice, how to find what I have for inspiration and what is best when using vinyl vs making stickers...endless questions

      Hi 👋🏾. I too am a newbie to the crafting world. Font selection is an ongoing process for me and I'm learning most from trial and error. My favorite thus far is Creative Market. I've purchased a few font bundles and font duos that I frequently use. My MacBook organizes my fonts in the font book.
