I absolutely LOVE your teaching style. You are always so precise and clear and your voice is very comforting. I, for one, appreciate all of the work you put into your videos regarding different materials and the results of each. Thank you for sharing all of your expertise!
Thanks Angie, I just ordered mine this morning along with three baseball caps. So needless to say I’m excited now to try this press. Your a great teacher.
Thanks Angie. You never cease to amaze me with your thorough reviews. It is greatly appreciated. I ordered my hat press and am anxiously awaiting its arrival, which, according to HSN, is the day after my birthday!
Thanks Angie, this was a great video! I love that you used so many different types of hats as well as all the different types of products (iron on, infusible ink, infusible markers, sublimation, etc...). A very helpful and informative video if one is on the fence about the hat press. Hugs, Brenda
This video was super helpful! Purchased a hat press and I’m hoping to make lots of fun gifts so I really appreciate you showing your successes and your fails. I also appreciate you showing many different types of hats and how everything worked for each style!
Angie this was a great demonstration thank 😊 you. I just ordered mine at midnight off of the Cricut website. (March 13th). The kid hats was genius. Jane.
That video was so awesome! As someone who recently went on a mission to find out how to make a hat and resorted to trial and error, I am glad to see this Now and know better :). Where did you get those cool shelves in the back, directly behind you in the video that have the rainbow garland draped across? I need them. Your craft room = goals. Thanks so much for sharing!
I love all your videos. I just bought the cricut hat press and the cricut trucker hats and I want to use sublimation on them (not cricut infusible ink). My problem is that I don't know what time/temperature you're supposed to use because I'm not using one of the transfer materials in their list. I will need to set custom time and temp, but I have no clue what that should be. Can you answer this?
I would start with whatever you use for say a polyester shirt. It may take some trial and error but that should be close. You can also start with what they suggest for Infusible Ink.
Can you change the temperature of the Cricut Hat Press without using the Heating ap?. I do not have a smart phone, Iphone , or tablet and nothing on the Cricut websitie tells you which devices it will work with. Like yesterday our internet was down most of the day. I was only able to use my Cricut Maker -Cricut joy because we can use it off line now if you saved you files. I am getting conflicting information information regarding the Cricut Hat Press. I love the time you take to share your knowledge with us.
Thank you so much for your great tutorials Angie. I have a question that may have been asked and answered, but will parchment paper work instead of butcher paper?
Just curious when using HTV with different colors. Do you use same method just tacking each color before doing the whole time amount when done adding the colors
I do like the hat press. I think that one is a good idea. Plus I seen a stuffed animal done with it on J. Maker. That's pretty neat. I like the press too. The app one doesn't impress me at all. I'm just starting to get interested in the sublimation. I thought you have to have fabric with sublimation in/on it? Or buy a product with it being treated?
I plan on another video testing other products with the hat press. This one was just hats. You have to have polyester fabric for sublimation which I had in these cases.
@Angie Holden I keep watching videos on sub. I just need to find one that is a beginner video. Thanks for that info. I saw some people making a spray for doing it on cotton. Maybe I better stick with vinyl. That I understand! 🤣😂
Sorry if i missed the answer to this question. I am trying to put a logo on a blue cotton/elastane cap and a black polyester cap. I have been trying with Siser easisubli and getting varied results using the mini. Do you think this hat press would work better? And yes I agree with the others your videos are very thorough and informative. Many thanks for producing them.
I think these whole new line is crazy over priced but specially this hat press… requires special tape; apps to register and to move back and forth. I’ll stick to my small tiny hat press. Cricut is just trying to make us all spend way too much money on products that look adorable but are not practical to use bc I can get a hat press extension which will save me a lot of money by not buying special tape and apps and move things side to side. Also a 1000 press lol are they really catering to small business owners or crafters? Seems like they aren’t. I do appreciate your videos so thank you
@@AngieHolden aww thanks for replying. I love your videos and your explanations of things. I would respectfully disagree… if I am going to only going to make a few hats… having to buy special tape for a gadget that seems to have not been thought of properly would not feel more practical. If this hat press did not require special cricut tape and move side to side to hope it works… I would deff buy this item; but aside from looking adorable; seems like they went with a primitive way of using. They should of designed it more like a clamp which you can bring down, don’t have to rock and don’t need some evils tape.
The tape is just a stronger grip to hold things down on a curved surface. I really think it could be useful on ANY hat press. And you can try it with the tape you already have? Not sure why you think the tape is a must buy.
I know they are sponsoring…. If they were sending me free stuff I woudnnt be saying this. I’m not saying it’s what you do but it’s hard to know whose opinion it is when a company sends you free stuff. Who would then tel a company that their new product sucks? Consumers like me. Not bc they are expensive or whatever but bc there are major flaws on their design
I really love how you try so many variations for us. I did order it today and was able to get good deals on the cap blanks as well as 20% off and free shipping with code HAPPY and cricut access discount. Great suggestion to turn the form on its side for children's hats. I wonder what might work if you have a big head hat if it will be too large for the form. Do you think you could use the hat press for anything besides hats?
@@AngieHolden I put a 4XL big head hat on the form and it is way too big and loose. Do you have any suggestions for something safe to stuff into the sides besides walnut shells to fill out the form?
Well I got my hat press but the cricut heat app does not connect to the hat press on android 12. I was able to activate the hat press with my son's android 11 phone. Can I use it manually without the app until the developer fixes the app?
Thank you for the tips. Did you have any issues with the paper not wanting to lay flat enough for sublimation? I didn't have much luck with sub and amazon trucker foam hats. I think its the foam. I'm going to try a cricut hat.
Can I please ask if you’ve tried to use the Hat Press like a regular heat press, just holding it on the design without moving it back and forth. I usually use a Teflon sheet to protect the fabric. Just wondering if it would work the same…thanks!
I haven't really. I did press for like 4 - 5 seconds with a teflon sheet after removing the carrier sheet on some of these for some extra stick and I didn't move it for that.
Hey Angie, is this really worth it? Or do you prefer the hat press type like the one from Heat Press Nation... not sure if I should go with this press or not
I do prefer this because I won't be making a ton of hats and I have zero space for a big hat press. That being said, I may get one in the future to compare them.
Question??? I like the new large heat press but the cost is really high(1,000 plus tax) Right now the StarCraft is back in stock and I don’t know which way to go. My space is really limited and the Cricut would store better. But can it work on glass? I’m also concerned about the pressure being automatic. Lastly being new to Cricut and using the print a cut feature which is way to limited on size. I’m confused on which design space or program to use for larger projects. I see people using Canva for creating then send to silhouette for sizing and then printing. (so I would have to learn both programs, OVERLOAD….) Can you do a tutorial on ONE program that can work for larger images and that you can print for sublimation (have a mirror feature) or other applications? I would love to know your perspective on both of my questions as soon as you can. Thank you in advance.
I will be doing more testing on the AutoPress for those features and will hopefully post videos at a later date. I am also working on something for sublimation with oversize prints. I am assuming you are talking about prints larger than you printer can print.

Glad it was helpful!
Thank you for always taking the time to explain things and experimenting with different options.
Sure thing!
Thanks Angie, I just ordered mine this morning along with three baseball caps. So needless to say I’m excited now to try this press. Your a great teacher.

I think you did a really good job on all of the hats, I love them all. Thank you for this video. It helped me decide to buy it.

Glad it was helpful!
Thanks for this video. It would have taken forever to do all these hats on my own and learn the lessons you passed on
It DID take forever but I did it for you all! HA!
Thx. You always go above and beyond! Very complete
I appreciate that!
Always like everyone of your tutorials…. Thanks for sharing..!!
Thank you so much Angie You are amazing!!!! Showing us beginners step by step☺️☺️
You're so welcome!
Great video. Thanks for doing all that work and sharing it.

Great demo Angie thanks for doing this.
You are so welcome!
Love your hat videos
Thanks!
You explained in great 👍 👌 👏 detail very much appreciated.
Always helpful and informative
Glad you think so!
Thank you for all your work
My pleasure!
Great video! We should have a give away challenge for whoever can tell u how many times you said the word “ HAT” in this video!!! Lol
I don't know if I can count that high...
I’d like to see you compare it to a standard hat press. I see the value in this, but curious your thoughts on comparison.
I have been getting that request but it may be a while. Frankly I need space for another press.
That video was so awesome! As someone who recently went on a mission to find out how to make a hat and resorted to trial and error, I am glad to see this Now and know better :).

Yes you can!

With the hat press, they do recommend moving the press.

You can definitely just use it without. I would report the issue to them though so they can fix the glitch.
Very nice
Thanks
I don’t need this, but imma buy it 🤦🏾♀️
HA! I am like "do I need all of these hats"....oh let me order these too.....
Great video! I have a foam visor. Would vinyl be best, since heat may melt it?
Yes! It will MELT! HA!
Can it be used with embroidered patches as well?
Try this: ruclips.net/video/Ki-vkJJ8C8A/видео.html
Awesome
Thank you for the tips. Did you have any issues with the paper not wanting to lay flat enough for sublimation? I didn't have much luck with sub and amazon trucker foam hats. I think its the foam. I'm going to try a cricut hat.
Holding it down with the strong heat tape is critical to getting it to stay on the hat.

Do you think this will work on a huge sublimation tumblers that doesn’t fit on the Cricut mug press?
I am doubtful.
So you can use any hat? Not just cricut branded hats?
Yes!
I have machine embroidered patches using polyester thread. Can I use the heat press on these patches? If so, at which temp setting?
Sure! I would probably use the lowest setting.
Hi, can you print actual photos and use with the hat press.?
They would need to be sublimation images on polyester hats.
@@AngieHolden
Thank you Angie. 😊
Great video, so you can use any brand hat?
Yep!
What was the white paper you used over the htv on the kids tractor hat?
White butcher paper.

what do you mean when you say "this is the reason you should always use infusible ink blanks"? you mean cricut blank or sublimation blanks or both?
Correct Infusible Ink blanks from Cricut work better with Infusible Ink.
Angie, do you know what time the release will be? Thank you
YOU CAN ORDER NOW, I DID ALREADY.
It should be out now!
Do we have this hat press in the UK yet??
I can’t seem to find it anywhere..
I think it is a later release there but I am not positive.
How can I change the font but keep my height and width?
Each font will be different so you will need to play with each one.
Where did you get the hat form from? Thanks for the video very helpful
The hat form comes with the Cricut Hat Press.
Thanks I accidentally ff past that part on the unboxing
Great video as usual, but what the heck is the HTV?
It's Heat Transfer Vinyl
HTV is heat transfer vinyl or iron-on.
@@littlemadhen3045 Thank you
Does the hat press bring the hat form or is that an add on?
It is included. You can see an unboxing here: ruclips.net/video/7gR_rFtrWAU/видео.html&lc=UgxpyKOQhN6SZIzISLh4AaABAg
How many watts does it need to operate please?
I am not positive. You might try the Cricut website.
You do realize infusible ink is basically the same as sublimation.
I do realize that thank you.
Hello! Where can I buy the base for the cap?
It comes with the Cricut Hat Press.
Can you use Siser easyweed?
Definitely!
Where did yu get your designs

How much is it
I link to all products in the description below the video. I don't state prices as those fluctuate and people can see this video for many years.
29 minutes ago sweet. 😊😊😊😊😊
