The butterfly looking screws are called "wing nuts". Thank you SO much for all your awesome videos - I learned SO much watching your channel and I bought the same heat press today.
I am so happy I found a video that can finally help me figure it out how to use my Heat Press, even when it is a different brand (Vivo Home, 11 in 1 Heat Press). I bought it back July this year, and still haven’t been able to used it because they don’t bring instructions or any link to a video to help you, I don’t know how to put all those attachments, thanks to you I am able to play with mine now, it is very frustrating that I can’t find anything explaining what I need to do with the machine from that company. Melissa thank you so very much for creating this amazing video. 🙏🏽🤗🤗
Thank you for showing how to change out the different presses. The little "butterfly" things are called wing nuts. I love watching your videos and have learned so much from you. Thank you!!
Hi Thank you for the video, I was so excited to buy this before I realized that I had to take so much apart. You did a fabulous job with your demonstration. You are absolutely right that you need to do multiple projects at a time for the hat press or the plate press. I need to request for instructions and the screwdriver mind didn’t come with.
The things you said are butterfly screws, are called wing nuts. Lolol I re name too but for me its - thing-a-ma-jig or wha-cha call it. Lolol. Thank you for sharing this 😊😉
Do I need to adjust the springs on the top to get an even pressure? It seems like when pressing it is only pushing down on the back side closest to the handle and less pressure at the front ?
Here are the specs for the mug press: Mug Attachment 3-3.7inch (7.5-9.5cm) max diameter Maximum transfer area: 8.2x3.7 inch (21x9.5cm) Check out this tutorial on tumblers: www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/2021/08/how-to-add-glitter-to-sublimation.html
I just got a cheap one off Amazon. But it’s not great. The top plate swivels so much. I’m afraid to buy another swing away. Do you love this? Do you prefer it over a clam shell? I just sold my clam shell 🤦♀️ I can’t find any reviews and info on the slide our clam from them either, do you have an opinion on that?
Hi, thank you so much for the tutorial. I just received mine to couple of days ago I have it in pink. Are there additional attachments for the press? I need the 20oz tumbler and the shot glass attachments? Are there other compatible attachments that will fit the Swing Design 8-in-one heat press?
There are four mug press attachments that come with the 8 in 1 heat press. You can do 20 oz skinny tumbler with the mug press but you have to do it in sections as shown here: ruclips.net/video/MBfnhaEq5zc/видео.html
Hi Melissa. Does this Swing Design heat press have even pressure & heat across the entire platen? I hear that is extremely important, especially when pressing white toner transfers.
Thank you so much for the tutorial!! Mine came with the clamshell manual, waiting to hear back from the company for the correct one. I have only used a clamshell in the past, can you give any tips on using the swing away? I am a little nervous about getting it lined up and using it correctly. Thank you!!
They will provide you with a digital version of the manual if you email Swing Design. Must have just gotten the wrong one in the box by accident as mine came with the correct manual.
Hi, this video is AWESOME! I am new and really want to get started with crafting. Since I watched Stahl's video first I saw an attachment for athletic joggers and jersey shirts. Will you be able to use this one for that as well. Also for the silhouette, will I need the cameo 4plus, or will the cameo 4 work? Great video!
Thanks for the awesome informative video! I was wondering how that all worked😅 I noticed that you have you Cameo Pro on a... stand or narrow table? Would you share where you found it? I’m sorry if I missed a video on it🙈
I haven't shared details on the stand b/c they're not available to purchase and I Just kind of DIYed it. I'm a little apprehensive to share how I did it b/c I don't want anyone to void their warranty.
Hi there! Thank you for the video! I just received the exact same one (color, too). I haven’t opened the box yet, however. Does it come with a Teflon sheet, or do I need to get one? You’re a rockstar! Thanks sooo much for all your fabulous help!! ! Happy New Year!
We've got TONS of tutorials using heat presses on the blog. Check out this post that is the clamshell vs. swing away: www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/2016/02/heat-press-comparison-clam-shell-vs.html
I love mine! I had been WAITING for these to come out. It really is great value for what you get. Check out my blog posts about the 8-in-1 here: www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/search?q=8+in+1
Hi Teacher! I bought one because I didn't want to drag my big DK20 into the basement. I like it, but I hate the way the rubber pad slides off sometimes when I remove the shirt. I asked swing design if I could use double stick tape on the bottom rubber pad. They said "do it!" Your thoughts?
I have the 15 x 15" Swing Away 8 in 1 heat press from Swing Design and it has quickly become my go-to press for the amount of room it saves my in craft room.
I ordered this item as a pre-order back in March based on this video. It just arrived (May) and it isn't the same as the one in the video (and I am not referring to the color). The base is different and and a few of the other features. Just makes me wonder why they look different? Ths one I got looks like lesser quality.
Hi Alice! Good question. It really depends on your budget, your space and your needs! Check out this heat press comparison. www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/2017/12/best-heat-press-for-silhouette-cameo.html
Hey, how long did you actually wait for the machine to come in? I'm trying to purchase it on their website and unfortunately it's on pre-order. They say Mid/End Of April.. is that too long? 🤔
Hi Kelsy, unfortunately EVERYTHING is experiencing delays due to the pandemic. Pre-ordering now is definitely safer than waiting and maybe not getting one when they're in stock!
Hi. I purchased this machine. I set the machine up but I cant figure out how to get the time to work. Its set up for 7 secs but it don't count down . help please
I am in dire need to figure out how to get my key code for my current cameo 3 so i can upgrade to designer but its not giving me my code and I'm having a hard time with connecting a live person from silhouette. Do you have any suggestions?thanks
@@henryiia well actually i haven't upgraded yet...they are asking me for the code i used when i purchased my cutter last year...i think that's what their asking for and i have no idea where i put the code🤔
@@lairekarice3556 i believe the code comes with the machine is for the free designs from the Silhouette store. For upgrading the Studio from basic ( free) to designer... plus... business) you have to buy the upgrade(s) separately. Make sure you check swing design and some other shops -there are always some discounts! Or it is also possible you need the serial no to register your cameo
Swing Designs does NOT answer their phones. I called couple times and no one answers. You send an email and you get a vague response.I was about to purchase a bundle but, I need to know if I run into problems who can I call for help?
Hmm odd I’ve never had any issues with their customer service. You can for sure call, email or chat them for help. And I answer Silhouette School emails daily.

Thank you for the great explanation of an 8 in 1 .
Thank you for showing how to change out the different presses. The little "butterfly" things are called wing nuts. I love watching your videos and have learned so much from you. Thank you!!
Hah yes did you like how I made that term up
@@SilhouetteSchool Well butterflies have "wings" so I guess you can call it that!
Thanks!! Helped a lot, i COULD NOT figure out the hat. All my instructions flew out the box and couldn't find it 😊👍
Thank you for the video, I am so excited to use mine. It just arrived yesterday after waiting since Nov 25.
How did you get the timer to count down
Hi Thank you for the video, I was so excited to buy this before I realized that I had to take so much apart. You did a fabulous job with your demonstration. You are absolutely right that you need to do multiple projects at a time for the hat press or the plate press.
I need to request for instructions and the screwdriver mind didn’t come with.
If you don't have either the manual or the screwdrivers, please eeach out to the reseller where you purchased
I bought one on your recommendation. This was extremely helpful. Cant wait to get started!
You did a great job explaining and disassembling
Thanks!
The things you said are butterfly screws, are called wing nuts. Lolol I re name too but for me its - thing-a-ma-jig or wha-cha call it. Lolol. Thank you for sharing this 😊😉
haha thanks
Does the mug attachment heat evenly with all 4 attachments?
Do I need to adjust the springs on the top to get an even pressure? It seems like when pressing it is only pushing down on the back side closest to the handle and less pressure at the front ?
I have a 6 in 1 press and love it!! Did you know you can use the heat press as a mask press also?! Those make big sales for me!!
Yes I do that!
I'm wondering if you meant "hat press"?! Because I just ordered some mask blanks and I love this idea, if it works!
Hi!! Love your videos! Curious what the swing radius is? 360? 180?
I’m glad I found you ! I misplaced my directions
What are the sizes that fit in the mug press? Can you use a skinny tumbler or water bottle?
Here are the specs for the mug press: Mug Attachment 3-3.7inch (7.5-9.5cm) max diameter Maximum transfer area: 8.2x3.7 inch (21x9.5cm) Check out this tutorial on tumblers: www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/2021/08/how-to-add-glitter-to-sublimation.html

Hey there! Yes! Check it out here: www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/2021/07/how-to-do-all-over-20-oz-skinny-tumbler.html
Would the plate press work for smaller ceramic sublimation ornament disks?
Ohhh! That's a great idea! I would think so
Hi Melissa will this be available in Scotland UK thanks
hi the 8 in 1 for the mug press are you able to attach the attachment that's for the 20 oz skinny tumbler that they sale on swing design
No it's not compatible.
Hi Melissa. Does this Swing Design heat press have even pressure & heat across the entire platen? I hear that is extremely important, especially when pressing white toner transfers.
Yes it does!

Same here...I’m glad I came across this video!
Omg I've had mine since november with no idea how to use it. Thank YOu! You'd think it would come with instructions but no /.\
You must have a slightly different press. This one was was just released in January 2021 and it does come with a manual.
Hi, this video is AWESOME! I am new and really want to get started with crafting. Since I watched Stahl's video first I saw an attachment for athletic joggers and jersey shirts. Will you be able to use this one for that as well. Also for the silhouette, will I need the cameo 4plus, or will the cameo 4 work? Great video!
You can use this heat press with any of the die cutting machines of all sizes and brands :)
Melissa, have you gotten the chance to play with this new toy yet? Is it heating evenly? Any feedback on its performance?
Yup does a great job! Heats up fast too!
@@SilhouetteSchool Thank you! My 8 in 1 is coming soon! So excited! I used your link.
Thanks for the awesome informative video! I was wondering how that all worked😅 I noticed that you have you Cameo Pro on a... stand or narrow table? Would you share where you found it? I’m sorry if I missed a video on it🙈

I’m really almost to the point of getting this rather then the ones I see on Amazon. When you unboxed it, does anything at all require assembling?
No, I don't believe there was any assembly
Are you able to thread a shirt or a bag on the bottom Platten?
Depends on the size of the shirt or bag, but in most cases, yes.
Hi there! Thank you for the video! I just received the exact same one (color, too). I haven’t opened the box yet, however. Does it come with a Teflon sheet, or do I need to get one?
You’re a rockstar! Thanks sooo much for all your fabulous help!! ! Happy New Year!
Yes it comes with a Teflon sheet
Hi! I just got this press and I am looking for the pad you have on the bottom platen. Can you link me to the one you have? Thank you!
Do you mean the gray silicone pad? It should have come with the press.
do you have a video on how to use the heat press? What are the benefits of having a swing away?

Thinking of getting that same heat press from swing design, how long have you had yours and do you like it, is it good quality
I love mine! I had been WAITING for these to come out. It really is great value for what you get. Check out my blog posts about the 8-in-1 here: www.silhouetteschoolblog.com/search?q=8+in+1
Plates where would u find them?Thanks
What is the height of the heat press when it is open? I want to be sure I have enough clearance with the cabinet above before I order.
When the handle is at its highest point it is 23" inches from base to top.
Hi Teacher! I bought one because I didn't want to drag my big DK20 into the basement.
I like it, but I hate the way the rubber pad slides off sometimes when I remove the shirt. I asked swing design if I could use double stick tape on the bottom rubber pad. They said "do it!" Your thoughts?
If Swing Design said do it, you should be golden! Happy crafting!
Question which one do you like more the Starcraft 8 in 1 or the swing?
I have the 15 x 15" Swing Away 8 in 1 heat press from Swing Design and it has quickly become my go-to press for the amount of room it saves my in craft room.
Question the amp part of missing from mine or got lost in opening ? Help what size amp do I need for this and can you use a regular outlet??? Help
Yes regular outlet
Where did u get this if u don’t mind me asking
Have you had any issues with the heat press and/or any of the items, since this was 2 years ago?
I haven't! This is still my favorite heat press!
I’m waiting to purchase, they’ve been sold out.
Hey there! I just checked and the white one is in stock!
I ordered this item as a pre-order back in March based on this video. It just arrived (May) and it isn't the same as the one in the video (and I am not referring to the color).

is there a difference between this and star craft?
Yes it's a different heat press.
A year later do you still think this is the best heat press with all the attachments?
Still loving it so much!! ❤
I just got mine but mine look’s different, mine doesn’t have feet on it at all.
It could be that you have an updated model
Is your heat press like lob sided?
Nope :)

You have to press the red button on side by the power switch to start and stop the timer.
When will it be back in stock?
I don't have an exact date, but definitely sign up for the in stock email alerts!
They need that screwdriver to be magnetic lol 😆
Good idea!

Where is this heat press made?

I can’t even explain how disappointed I am that I didn’t get an 8in1, I just bought a hat press and a mug press before Christmas :(.
Bummer!!
Is this a high quality heat press?
Absolutely and has great functionality.
