I will testify that this is truth!!! I totally ruined a T-shirt by getting my materials confused and I pressed too high for too long...but I LEARNED and that’s valuable!
Sorry to hear about your shirt though :/
Literally me over the weekend 😩
this is definitely the video i needed
The app 🤤🤯 ((I’m a newbie! So excited!))
Don't worry, we have all been there. Thank you for the comment! :)
We use about 175 celcius for 15 sec and medium/high pressure because we use a teflon sheet and are having the best success with that (using the same heatpress as seen in this video).
So glad I found this video. I'm not going to lie I hated yalls vinyls 🥴 But I take it back now!
I saw this video and realized that you guys were totally acting like me in the first few seconds lol. I thought that if I left the heat on longer and pressed hard and then threw it in the heat press machine that my vinyls would stick. And they always peeled off even before the first wash... I didn't know that you could damage the adhesive... Lol I hope you guys accept my apology 😂😂😂😂
I’m so glad I found your website and videos before I do my first ever project! Man there are a lot of people giving the wrong advice. Can’t wait to get started with my Cricut Maker, Easypress and what will no doubt soon be massive Siser stash! :D
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I am new to this and had no idea what I was doing. So you can imagine that I have ruined many shirts and vinyl.
Me too
Been trying to tell people this all week. Thanks, Joe.
It is our pleasure. Thanks for the comment! :)
This is exactly what I needed!! 🙌
Thanks for this. I bought a Cricut Easy Press after winning an HTV pack from your Facebook page and their instructions say front AND back. Which I thought seemed like too much, but maybe that was for their vinyl. Or they are giving bad instructions???
Anyways, can we have more tutorials on tips for pressure using the EasyPress? I thought we need to see the impression of the fabric through the material, so have been extra pressing. I've only made shirts for my kid and myself, so not a big deal yet. Still learning!
We hope you enjoyed the Siser products! As for your questions, their instructions may be pertaining to their products, but we know a lot of our customers use the EasyPress but follow those same instructions with our products. We just wanted to make sure that its addressed that it is not necessary to apply that same way with Siser HTV.
@@SiserNorthAmerica Glad I am learning this early on. Think there was only one I did that way. I did see something I pressed that had the adhesive come out as you showed.
I have a large heat press but just how do I know if the pressure is right? I would love to know the answer to this. So far, I am just guessing. ugh
Same
I expected to see some over pressed items.....thanks
What settings do you recommend on an EasyPress 2 for applying Siser HTV on stained wood?
Yeah so I did get too much pressure on a baby shirt I did yesterday. I dislike greatly this whole medium, light, hard pressure thing. Give me a numeric value and I'll buy equipment to measure it. I adjusted my heat press to what I thought was medium and didn't repeat the paper test that everyone claims is medium pressure ... still subjective btw ... and I see the glue from my top layer pressing out onto my bottom layer. Do I need to trash this baby shirt or is it likely it will hold for the 1 or 2 wears babies get out of clothes this size before growing out of them? 305* for 15 seconds easyweed on easyweed with a 5 second tack for my bottom layer before the full press on the top layer.
Thank you! Great info
You're very welcome!
If the adhesive oozes out a lil will it fall off when you wash it?
You may have pressed it too much.... you may not have an issue with it though.
On a press that is used for clothing and fabric which fabric setting would the temperature range you provided be? Cotton, Wool, ...
How can you tell if you applied too much heat to a tshirt?
I thought we'd get a way to fix the mistake of over pressing!!! Great info anyway.
Can’t uncook a steak but at least htv is cheap so you can get it right next time 👍🏼
@@V3NMNINJA Very true! Lol 💜
I over heated my holgraphic, it's buckled now. Can i fix it or peel it off ?
VLR would be the best way to get it off to fix :)
I don’t know why it can’t just be written on the paper insert that is wrapped in the roll. It says absolutely nothing about temp and that makes no sense.
Oye mi niño, tu vas a ir a Las vegas, este octubre 16,17,18,19 y 20. 2018 ?????
I purchased a svg . A portion of the number adheres and a part doesn't . How do I get it to stick so when I wash it doesn't peel?
Hello Nicole! You should definitely give our Tech Support a call at 586-203-8171 so we can figure out what is going wrong! :)
Thanks for the info! Very helpful!
Absolutely! We are always happy to help! :)
after applying the vinyl to cotton shirts is there a suggested waiting period before washing the shirt?
Yes! You want to give your garment at least 24hrs, after you pressed your HTV, before you wash it.
Can you show what htv looks like if overheated? Mine doesn't stick all the time and I can't tell if it was overpressed or under.
You can see when its over heated...it usually looks weathered and warped. The adhesive tends to evaporate and you lose its bond. Not all scenarios looks exactly the same. You can always reach out to our Tech Support by email Support@siserna.com and we can assist you with any Siser HTV you may be having issues with :)
THIS IS SOOOOO GREAT. And you're super cute lol
My question is regarding Reflective heat transfer sheet. The problem is once its washed, looks like the print is loosing its reflective ability (NOT peeling off, print area is intact still)
Is it due to washing conditions or it isn't pressed properly? I think I press it like 3 to 5 sec, should I press for 10-15 sec to avoid it? Or its just due to wash?
It could be how it is washed! Please email our Tech Support at Suppport@siserna.com
My friend your video is good, very clear.
Thank you for the comment! :)
Do you have a place to visit you in USA, SHOWROOM, to see and buy your stuff.
What do you do if half of the logo peels fine but then the last part of the vinyl is pulling up??
This means that you are getting uneven pressure somewhere...You need to make sure the area you are pressing on is even and flat. If you are using a home iron or an EasyPress, you have to make sure you are still using force to press down. This could also mean that your iron is not getting to the correct temperature.
Can We use regular transfer tape to the htv or do we need a special kind of heat transfer tape ?
Siser HTV (and I am 99% sure all heat transfer vinyl) has the transfer tape on the vinyl itself. You do not need to transfer it like you would with regular 651 vinyl
Do you recommend to start over if I over pressed a shirt?
It may be a good move....you can test the durability by performing a wash test or two.
@@SiserNorthAmerica awesome! Thank you so much !
Thank you!!!
Hi i unfortunately got the white around my design is there a way to remove it
lay an old piece of cotton garment over it and press it on your heat press or home iron....the cotton will draw the adhesive ring around your design.
Are there different conditions when working with POLYESTER. I am referring to SCORCH MARKS. I've watched the STAHLS videos and they all lead to purchasing a new machine with the LOWER Platen heating element. HELP...!!!
I just printed out the PDF on application. It shows the htv stretch as requiring 320° for 20sec and a firm press. I'm using a Tusy press for application onto a Bella canvas shirt. I'm still having letters peel. Any tips for this issue. Thanks👍
@@tommynationofficial Don't recall when I made this comment but since then I've done what you just suggested and it works great. 👍
Help! I have messed up multiple shirts. I applied htv for 10 sec. At 305 with a cricut heat press and my htv looks like it sumgged. Idk what I'm doing wrong.
Hello Aimee! Please reach out to our Tech Support by emailing Support@siserna.com and we will help figure out what went wrong :)
What heat press do you recommend.
We always recommend the red press as a great starting press
Is a second press required? i have been doing a second press for 10 seconds after peeling at a first press of 15 seconds.
I'm not sure if it's he's for all but the vinyl I have says do a 3 second press after I peel
I wish I would have seen this before I did my shirts. Unfortunately, I was the guy at the beginning. :( I’ve been using Cricut HTV and there you have to press at 330 minimum so I assumed it was the same thing
SAAAMEEEE 😭😂 LMAO
Which size heat press do you think he’s using? I’m trying to figure out which one I want, 9x7 or 10x12!!!!
15x15 would be best to start with
Why is my HTV so stiff? What HTV you recommend for a soft, stretchy almost rubber feel? The one I’m using (easy peel) feels really stiff.
Have you tried Siser EasyWeed Stretch?!

Hello, I have a question. I recently tried HTV on a shirt for the first time, but the vinyl came out wrinkly in certain areas. Do you know what could have caused this?
What vinyl did you use? If it Siser HTV, please reach out to our Tech Support at Support@siserna.com and we will try to figure out what happened :)
Any reason the vinyl sticks but the actually plastic won’t peel???
hmmmm....not sure what that could be! Please feel free to reach out to our Tech Support at Support@siserna.com and we can help you out!
is a teflon sheet even worth it?
you can just use parchment paper if you'd prefer.
Hello. First, thanks for this video. Second, please tell me how can I prevent my HTV from buckling once I put on my shirts. I use my easy press, stretch htv, a portable table and press pad. It presses beautifully but once I put on the shirt it buckles around my breast area. Should I stretch out the shirt first? Thank you kindly in advance.
Stretching the shirt is causing the buckling....unfortunately, once you stretch the garment with the EasyWeed Stretch, it is going to cause that "ripple" look. You can repress is to take out those wrinkles.
Pineapple!!!!! 😯😍🍍
What happened with the pineapple?!
Please show some wash results using the different machines to validate your claims. I've seen testing and wash results from other companies that provide different information then what is in this video.
Hello Kristy! Please contact us at support@siserna.com to see our wash test results. :)
Yesss ❤
YES! :)
Just found you, thanks for clearing things up
Absolutely! That's what we are here for! :)
Yup did it the other day with my second time doing it lol I have purchased an easy press 2
We have all been there before!
🙋♀️
It should be called the application zone!! 😂 😆 😝 just sayin!
What it you have a cheap heat press
@@tommynationofficial Just my thought…but temp guns are not very accurate when reading shiny metals. It might be better to quickly measure the fabric after applying the heat.
Was expecting a transfer to a shirt
We have a ton of videos on our page showing proper transferring to a shirt! :)
That's me!!!!Lol
LOL Yes ---- Guilty!!!!
Don't worry it happens to all of us.
You have great info but u need a new intro lol
