I finally got the nerve to try this and I love it! The only thing that I should have done differently is a larger offset for the design I chose. I just purchased the HTV sublimation for dark fabrics and can't wait to try it.
Thank you for making this video!!! I recently purchased this HTV Ront vinyl for sub and I have been sooo confused on how to use it. This was the clearest and most thorough explanation! Thank you Crystal!
You are such a ROCKSTAR!!!! I am always so happy when I watch your videos, I don't always catch the lives, but I never miss one. I'm definitely going to get one of Jordan's shirts!!!😘
I've been trying to figure this out since 2022 lol! I came back to try it Friday and your video showed up in my feeds.. BAM got it!!!! I was doing it ALL WRONG.. #1 I wasn't weeding it off the clear sheet #2 don't think I was peeling if off after pressing onto shirt.. The only thing I have to work with is lining it up ((BIG TIME)) Thanks very detailed
yay! you will love it 😍 after I made this video I was informed that they now make one with the white layer built in so you don't have to layer it onto of white htv 🥳
Bestie this is bomb! You are bomb ❤ love it 😍 I actually bought this material and haven’t tried it so now I have try it 😊 love the shirt and it’s so sweet 🥹 stay blessed love 🥰
🤦🏾♀️ I totally forgot that I bought this last month until I was scrolling in my Amazon past orders! Thanks for this video. I'll have to try it out when I remember where I put it. 😂
I just got a sublimation printer so I'm learning all the things and you are defn the most straight forward and helpful. So this clear HTV basically acts as a primer for the sublimation print? This will help with vibrancy and washing on cotton t-shirts...?
I tried this clear HTV once but didn’t use the white HTV first. I was disappointed with the results and haven’t tried again but now I will using the extra layer.
Can you let us know how it holds up in the wash. I tried this last year but with each wash the sublimation started to fade and bleed into the clear htv
HI Crystal, I have a question . So you mentioned that Cricut came out with a bigger Print and Cut for Sublimation paper. How can we find that item, because I have looked for it and have had no luck. Hope you can direct us to that. Thank you, love your videos.
Do you know what it's called? To print right on it and then just turn it over and use your heat press to put it on the shirt? If so I'd love to know the name of that
I tried this in Matt and shiny (clear) but the new HTVRont for dark fabrics is much better, no need for white HTV. For dark fabrics available in Mat and shiny also.
This might be a silly question, but when you do sublimation on HTV on a cotton tshirt does it become basically an inkjet on HTV. I mean will it now wear out as fast as HTV and not like sublimation on polyester?
ok so i did the white htv and the clear ht and sublimation deal... but the sublimation paper didn't come off all the way some parts sorta fused with the clear htv and idk what to do now haaaalp
Hi! Love your video :D I do have a question, if I take clear HTV and put it on a black cotton tshirt and then sublimate something yellow or orange, would it show? or would I have to do the white HTV, then the clear and then the yellow sublimation? Or if that is to much, should I try the DTF hack? if I print a DTF with my yellow design, will it show on a black cotton tshirt. Sometimes there are so many options, that I don't know which is better. TIA 🙏
Hi there great tutorial, ive tried it but why is it looking cracked,?? 100% cotton tee shirt with htvront matt htv and sublimation on top... the top bit is is better just the bottom...thank you x could it be the htv is under or over pressed?
The black ink bleeds out onto the edges when I press the image. I tried multiple printers and had the same result. I sublimated the same design onto 100% polyester and it came out perfect. Do you have any idea why this would be happening? Thank you
Thank you so much for trying to help me!! 😊I did many experiments for two days to discover that the problem was my heat press running hot. I was pressing image at 385 degrees for 40 seconds but discovered that it stopped "bleeding" at 340 degrees for 60 seconds. I hope this can help somebody who might have the same issue. I am in love with this product and technique now. Thank you again for your response, I really appreciate it. @@YouCanTotallyMakeThat
Yes you can order sublimation prints online or see if someone local check your local library I have been seeing a lot of people share that there library has one
so i am confused about the matt one htront it says for dark but can i use it on white cotton without white htv over mat lie you have to do for color? I didn't like that shine. but it worked, thanks
Hi Crystal! I am a new subscriber to your channel!! While i was watching this I wondered if you could apply this clear htv on surfaces other than clothing? I enjoy pushing the boundaries of my materials! :) thank you so much!
Hi CrystalAnn, I used this htvront sublimation vinyl and my image ended up bleeding.. do you let the sublimation transfer dry before pressing it? Thank you in advance.
Thank you for this tutorial. Cute design. I haven’t tried this yet but I will soon! I see on the comments that HTVRont has made one for dark fabrics. Yaaaaaaaayyyyy!! 🤗🤗🤗 You look great! What did you do to lose weight?
I used this exact sublimation htv to do an American flag and when I washed it the blue bled very bad into the white sublimation htv Brand was htvront and it was sublimation htv. Any help?
yes but one thing to check is your ink pigment or dye ink if its pigment it will last through the wash if its dye ink it won't. but even if its dye ink you could still use it on items that don't get washed like a tote bag, hat etc
@@YouCanTotallyMakeThat Thanks for your reply. I have a Canon imagePROGRAF PRO-300 A3 printer which I hope can be used with Canon Inkjet Fabric Iron-On Transfer Paper And then I have the Brother ScanNcut SDX 1200 and a Heat press
Please say you have classes in person, if not I would pay you for a one on one classes just to ask business questions and what to use for Sawgrass 1000 and what to sell and how, would be nice, because I'm trying to start up a business and definitely a newbie to all of this?,please say you have a class?
@YouCanTotallyMakeThat that would be great but if you had a day I would pay you anything because I have the Sawgrass and a roland BNA 20 and got it set up, but has versa works and trying to figure it out and Sawgrass seems it would be alot easier, going to try and set it up now and I got rolls of everything for the BNA, like calendar mat vinyl, cling vinyl and got a whole roll of heat transfer vinyl and was wondering if I can sublmate on that or how are you to use heat transfer vinyl?,and ty for responding. 😊😊😊
First let me say, you look great!! I’m just now getting into sublimation. I’m debating between purchasing the epson ET 2720 and the epson ET 2800 then converting it to sublimate. Do you suggest one over the other? Thanks in advance.💗
Thank you so much! I personally don't recommend and epson if your a here and there crafter because I trashed 3 epson because if they sit to long the lines clog making them a brick. now I have seen success with people that use them often or at least print once or twice a week. If I did recommend one go with the ET 2800
FYI, When I started learning Cricut/DS, you were my fav n first crafter I followed. 🥰 You even replied to a Q using DT contact paper as transfer tape🥰 2018. If not you, you have a twin on youtube 😄😄😄@@YouCanTotallyMakeThat
I am so sorry, but so frustrated with Cricut and their DS…have you had delays when trying to use offset, it just keep like loading (green line going across). Its been 3 mins n still going, my DS so slow, even trying to resize an image or save design. And calling them no help. 😭😭😭😭
Unfortunately, Cricut's offset tool is not working AGAIN, 🙄 any other suggestions I can use in substitute of it? BTW I'm so tired of Cricut and ALL OF THEIR BUGS!
Thats what I dont get from watching DIYs n actual Cricut Design Space. Yours is showing that for 11 x 17 max size is 9.94 x 12.76 in,; I am doing the same you doing, chg paper to 11x 17 and my max size is 10.22 x 9.93, why could that be? 😫
Cricut still wastes a lot of paper with their current print then cut settings for 8.5 x 11 paper. Other formats have a larger print/cut area for bigger images. Not everyone has a wide format printer. It's puzzling that Cricut does not seem able or inclined to develop the technology in order to be at least competitive in paper utilization with other formats such as the silhouette format.
So, what's the time and temp for using a heat press?
OMG, finally someone makes sense out of this whole sublimate on dark cotton (and light cotton too). Thank you so much.
You are so welcome! Glad you found it helpful
I don’t really comment on videos.. but this video was BEYOND helpful! And amateur friendly! Thanks so much for the education!

HI Crystal, can you do a video on Printable HTV-HTVRont for Inkjet printers🙂. Thank you!
Yes I have one coming soon stay tuned
I used white Gilden tshirt and the tshirt burned. Can I use a lower heat so it doesn't burn the tshirt?
Can you let us know how it holds up in the wash. I tried this last year but with each wash the sublimation started to fade and bleed into the clear htv
yes I will keep you updated so far its only been a few washes and it still looks great I will update more soon
Can you do the same thing but with dtf transfer on darks so you don’t lose the color?

I tried this in Matt and shiny (clear) but the new HTVRont for dark fabrics is much better, no need for white HTV. For dark fabrics available in Mat and shiny also.
That's what I'm hearing I definitely need to get some of this
Does that come out feeling really hard and thick with two layers of the??
I was informed we don't have to do this HTVRont has one that is made for dark fabric so its one layer amzn.to/442vGZF

yay! 😀 hope you enjoy it
I can't make larger print with cricut and need help.
This might be a silly question, but when you do sublimation on HTV on a cotton tshirt does it become basically an inkjet on HTV. I mean will it now wear out as fast as HTV and not like sublimation on polyester?
After you press it can yiu see the clear section?
HTVRont makes a white Sublimation Htv now, you can use it on dark garments
That is awesome I need to grab some
Clear vinyl cold or warm pealed?
How is the feel after?
ok so i did the white htv and the clear ht and sublimation deal... but the sublimation paper didn't come off all the way some parts sorta fused with the clear htv and idk what to do now haaaalp
Oh no 🙈 I wonder if your press was to hot? 🥵 what press did you use and time temp

Have you try a black shirt using Glitter HTV then the clear matte then your design it should look nick.
Which side of the clear do use
Have you done the wash test? Also does it stretch?

thank you!@@YouCanTotallyMakeThat
Can you do this with an inkjet printer? Also, after pressing what happens to the rest of the vinyl?
Unfortunately no only sublimation. As for the remaining vinyl that was trimmed away with Cricut. let me know if this helps
Is it shiney side down for the HTV?
yes shiny side down
Can you use an ink jet printer to sublimate using the clear HTV?
My question exactly.
I don't think the ink will transfer but that's a good question
No. You must use sublimation ink or it’ll wash right off.
Great video. My cotton tee scorched. Why?
oh no I wonder if your iron got hotter then it says
For an Irish Green Tshirt would I have to use the white HTV with this product?
nope you should be good to go just try not to use the same color green in your design so it doesn't fade in
Great video, thank you!
