I can’t believe I’m just now finding you!!!! 😭 I’ve messed up so many shirts & projects trying to follow other videos. I love how clearly you explained every single step. I finally have a nice shirt 😂 thank you sm! 💕🙏🏼
I’m just getting started and this has been the most informative video yet! ❤️it & thank you! Hopefully I can get in gear and start making things! I’m typically just a wreath maker but I want to make shirts for myself too. You just can’t find these designs in stores really & you get to customize it for yourself.
I cannot believe I have not heard of heat transfer paper. The time, effort, cursing, tears, etc.. this will save me is priceless!!! I feel so dumb but I’ve just never heard of it.
Geez! I bought an ecotank 2800 over a year ago. It's still in the og box 😂😂 I think I've finally found the perfect tutorial! Literally step by step, thank you!
I am so glad I ran across your you tube channel; I have been looking for someone to explain print and cut and anything to do with a Cricut . You take your time and explain the steps to where anyone can learn.. Thank You
Great job at explaining the heat transfer paper. I had a hard time finding a video on the small pieaces to keep together on my project and you did a great job at explaining it!
Thank you for this! As a new Cricut user, I've been trying to find information about what to print my design on (in my printer) and until I found this, I could not find any information. Thank you for speaking to me as a beginner! I finally feel a bit more comfortable tackling a t-shirt!
I have always been confused by two things: Does it matter if you use a laser printer or a inkjet which is better? Also how does the ink not wash away if you use an inkjet?
It only matters what the material is compatible with. You can use either printer type depending on the material. The product is made to be washed and worn.
Hello from Sunny South Africa! Thank you so much for your super tutorial. I’ve subscribed to your channel and looking forward to learning more from you.
Thank you so much this means a lot to people like us that just clueless Everyone don’t take time to explain I mean I needed help with everything. The format. Thank you
Oh my gosh thank you so much for making this video. This sweatshirt is gorgeous! I'm very new to the cricut/vinyl world and your videos are by far the most informative. You make it easy to understand. I have to say your t-shirt "BOSS babe" is accurate! 😁
Thank you so much for talking about the heat transfer sheets. I was just looking for info. on what was safe to use with the mug press. Off to find the Heat transfer sheets.
Great video. You are a natural born teacher. Thank you so much for sharing. I have a few quick questions if I wanted to add color to the face of the print how would I go about doing that? Also can I not print sublimations on an ink jet printer?
In order to edit colors, you would need an a layered image like an SVG file. No, sublimation ink is totally different from inkjet ink so they require different printers.
@@DIYAlex I NEEEED this svg! Downloaded a "free" one yesterday and it won't cut. I haven't gotten my printer up and running yet, may not even run at all. I just got my air 2 a few days ago. Loving learning everything so far but where the best website to get svg's for free? I'm not working right now so hopefully this will bring in some income at some point.
I love your videos! Do you use the ink that comes with the printer or do to use a different one? I’m wanting to start using printable vinyl but I’m very nervous and have no idea where to start.
Inwas going to ask the same think I have a Epson ET-3850 and it uses the same ink as the one you used in this video. Thank you for answering this question
This is by far the best video I've watched, and trust me, I've been watching a lot. Lol. Now I feel confident enough to use the print then cut method. I am definitely subscribing to your channel!
Thank you so much love you tutorial … I learn something new I’ve been learning & using my cricut for a couple of yrs now & you taught me something NEW today ~>>>calibration!!!
I’m glad you mentioned the type of printer you have for print then cut. What did you go based off to choose a good printer I wanted to invest in one and don’t know what to look for
I really like Epson printers in general. I have always had good luck with that brand, so that's what I stick with. I like the Epson Eco tanks because they are very ink efficient, so they save you from buying tons of ink! Any Epson Ecotank model will work great for print then cut projects.
I do sublimation but of course wanting to transfer onto dark or cotton material I decided to get the cricket maker 3 a couple of weeks ago. I have watched lots of videos since I got it and your videos by far are the best! So easy to follow, great speaking voice for videos, very thorough and at the same time not boring at all. Thanks so much! Using this machine is now so much clearer! 👍🏻 I will definitely subscribe 😀
Alex you always explain each step clearly for us "newbie" Cricut users. One question, if you decide not to use the transfer mask, would you use parchment paper over the printable vinyl then apply the heat? Thanks
Awesome video! Only one thing confused me, you have separate printers for print/cut and sublimation? I'm new to all of this and don't want to spend money I don't have to. 😉
Thank you! Yes, print then cut is done usually with inkjet and sometimes laser printers. Sublimation printers have sublimation ink in them and can only be used for sublimation after that.
This is such a great video!!! I’ve been using these sheets, but hating always being stuck with a white background, I had no idea you could use print & cut method with them!! 😍💖🥰🌟
Thank you for this tutorial.Cleared up a lot for me. what is the difference between transfer sheets and mask sheets? Again thanks in advance, I learn so much from your videos. ❤
Those terms are usually interchangeable! Transfer tape is not heat resistant, so you have to use an old carrier sheet from previous HTV or a heat transfer mask that you buy separately so the adhesive is heat resistant ☺️.

Thank you so much Rae! I’m so glad it was helpful ☺️
I feel you!! I’m so excited to learn this today!!! I’m ordering some now.
I’m just getting started and this has been the most informative video yet! ❤️it & thank you! Hopefully I can get in gear and start making things!

Ty for sharing this 💓
You have a great screen presence Alex - so clear and practical. You are one of the few RUclipsrs who makes it about the audience
Thank you so much! ☺️ I try to think of you first!
@@DIYAlexcan I do this with “Iron-on” Vynol in my printer?
No, it has to be printable HTV/ iron on. It won’t work with regular iron on.
@@DIYAlex Thank you. What should I put in between the shirt design and heat press while pressing it onto the shirt?
You are by far my favorite when it comes to learning about cricut and htv! Thank you so much for taking your time and CLEARLY explaining every step!
Thank you!! I always give it my best ☺️
Can I use a regular ink printer and fabric transfers to make this
Totally agree - the best I’ve seen
@@mandywiesman8896 did you find out??? Bc I also wanna know that
Finally a visibly thorough video of the transfer sheet process!! Thank you so much!!
You’re welcome!!
I've been watching & listening to so many cricut video's about HTV's and this is by far the most helpful I've found. Thank you so much :)
You're welcome!
I cannot believe I have not heard of heat transfer paper. The time, effort, cursing, tears, etc.. this will save me is priceless!!! I feel so dumb but I’ve just never heard of it.
It’s not dumb! You don’t know what you don’t know. Plus, it’s not the best solution every time. It really depends on the project!
Geez! I bought an ecotank 2800 over a year ago. It's still in the og box 😂😂 I think I've finally found the perfect tutorial! Literally step by step, thank you!
Yay!! So glad I could help!
I am so glad I ran across your you tube channel; I have been looking for someone to explain print and cut and anything to do with a Cricut . You take your time and explain the steps to where anyone can learn.. Thank You
You’re so welcome! I was so scared of print then cut as a newbie so I always try to make videos that I wish I would have had back then ☺️
The best explanation of heat transfer vinyl I’ve seen.
Thank you so much ☺️!
Great job at explaining the heat transfer paper. I had a hard time finding a video on the small pieaces to keep together on my project and you did a great job at explaining it!

Glad it was helpful! Welcome to the Cricut crafting world! :)
Thank you for the way you explain things. There is a reason people are looking for How to videos.
Loved this video! It’s 2 years old so I hope your newer ones are just as awesome! New subscriber 🫶🏽
Aw thank you! :)
Great tutorial! Fun tip! if you fold your shirt in half shoulder to shoulder evenly and press it you’ll have a line for your image placement
Do I need to use sublimation ink? Or we can use regular ink (cartridges) I have a HP
This is regular inkjet ink.
I have always been confused by two things: Does it matter if you use a laser printer or a inkjet which is better? Also how does the ink not wash away if you use an inkjet?
It only matters what the material is compatible with. You can use either printer type depending on the material.

I like they way she takes time to explain things, subbed!
Thanks, welcome to my Crafty Fam!
What a great idea with the Teflon sheet and magnets
Thank you!
One of the BEST videos on RUclips in my opinion! It's very clear and thorough.
Wow, thank you so much!

I am taking notes this is a great way to start small business or an new hobby
Thank you i learn something new I was sleepy but this was good and woke me back up great job😊
Thank you so much you answered all my questions about print and cut.
Thank you so much for talking about the heat transfer sheets. I was just looking for info. on what was safe to use with the mug press. Off to find the Heat transfer sheets.
Heat transfer sheets are not made to go on hard surfaces like mugs. They are meant for fabric projects.
Great video. You are a natural born teacher. Thank you so much for sharing. I have a few quick questions if I wanted to add color to the face of the print how would I go about doing that? Also can I not print sublimations on an ink jet printer?

So glad I found you. Great information and presented in such an accessible novice audience way. Thank you.

Your video is so clear. Not a lot of chitter chatter
My edited videos are straight to the point! My live videos are not 🤣 but they sure are fun!
Is it more economical to do screen print rather than vinyl
thank you for describing the mask! i have been trying to find videos to see what it is called but a lot of people do not use it.
You’re welcome! I try to add in all the things that would have confused me as a beginner, and I definitely would have been tripped up by the mask!
This is so awesome. I never knew about the last step. Never knew about the transfer mask. This is awesome. Thank you thank you thank you.
It’s a game changer for sure! You’re welcome!
Just recently found you and Michael!! Love you both and thank you for helping you learn!!

I’m new to all of this and this is a great tutorial! Are you just using regular inkjet ink or is it sublimation ink?
I have the same question
You use regular ink. Sublimation ink is not required for this paper type.
Same question
This is an inkjet printer.
I really love this tutorial. It was simple and easy to understand. Thank you for that.

This was very informative. Thank you. I needed the print and cut part 🙂
Use teflon for a glossy finish and parchment paper for a matte finish
That's actually for Siser DTV, I don't think that would help with this product.
This is the first video I have watched of yours. You explain everything really well! I am now a subscriber!
AH! I love this.. Thank you so much!

What recommendations do you have for vinyl and printed transfers? For a printer and a cricket? Thank I have enjoyed your videos
My favorite printable HTV is what I’m using here, Starcraft Printable Transfers for dark materials. It’s linked in the video’s description!
Such a great video! Thank you ✨️
Glad you enjoyed it!
