Katrina girl you did that, thank you so much for showing me how to do this I had been wondering how to do sublimation on dark shirts for so long but thanks to you I am ready!! Peace and blessings be multiplied to you and yours!! May the Lord forever bless your hands!!
Thank you for showing all the steps - and keeping the mistakes in! I grabbed some of this HTV just for fun, although I think their printable transfer paper would be better so you don’t have to do the whole sublimation alignment step. Buying DTF gangsheets is probably the best option overall for anything more than fun personal projects tho.
omg you saved me I would do almost the same process. over and over again some videos didn't work finally yours did I was tired of using all my paper and wasting it. your video worked perfectly thanks.
Thank you so much!!! Wish I found this video last week when my daughter wanted a special sublimation shirt for her boyfriend. Now she’s getting this style for Christmas. Thank you again!!!!
Trying to put an image on sublimation vinyl it's not easy but you have to go a good eye I did 6 shirt Sunday and they came out good so you do a good job 👍👍
For some reason, I was thinking I had to use my Silhouette to cut both the vinyl backing and the printed image on the paper, but i guess you don't. I could not figure out in my head for the life of me! Thanks for explaining it!
Katrina, thank for all your awesome videos. What I don't understand is why someone would choose to use the DTF hack for dark fabrics over this method. Is there an advantage of one over the other?
@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 Good morning, Queen, I just watched your video again to refresh myself on this process because I have an order to do two dark cotton t-shirts, and a black blouse. I think your shirt results are practically perfect from where I sit. I’m glad that you were able to replace the sublimation HTV because it gave you the opportunity to weed out the letter “g” and her other arm. Like I said, I think your image turned out practically PERFECT!!! I love it!!! Does it feel really smooth? As always… thank you for sharing your technique for GETTING IT DONE! Have a lovely day! Donna 🌹🌹🌹
Girl you did better than me on my first attempt. You're right though, it's hard to lay your image perfectly onto the offset. Thank goodness you show us the DTF transfer from Ninja as that's where Imna have to go for complex designs like this.
Great video! I tried this on 100% cotton and the image looked great, but then I tried it on a 50/50 and the black of the shirt came through 😩 so the white wasn’t as white
I couldn’t find the other video where you printed directly onto the vinyl. I was wondering if that was really possible with this particular brand because of the carrier sheet. You are supposed to press the image on the carrier sheet side. If you have a hack for it, I’d love to see it.
I did everything the same as you and my transfer to the vinyl was so light. I reprinted it 3x and it barely took in any ink. Image just looks washed-out. Not sure what I'm doing wrong. 😕
I’ve dye subbed since 2000, and I’ve always pressed the dyes at a higher temp. Dye sub inks have to be heated up high enough to turn to gas that permeates the polyester substrate. Then, when cooled, it returns to a solid state and has dyed it permanently. So, here’s some possible reasons: your dye sub inks are not high quality, the TEMP isn’t high enough to convert the dye to a gaseous state, the item wasn’t dye subbed for a long enough TIME to dye the substrate, the heat press PRESSURE wasn’t enough to force the gasses INTO the subtrate, or your SUBTRATE (the HTV in this case) isn’t formulated for dye sublimation (not enough polyester in it). Try increasing your temp to 390-395F to start and see if that helps. Then fiddle with the other items until you get an acceptable outcome.
Wonder if that vinyl has a short tack press setting like siser does? That way you dont over heat it and limit the shrink that is cause by pressing it to long just to tack it down.
Awesomeness I have tried this once I cut around my image it was challenging however I'm a tiny bit confused when you stated that you were going to print directly on it Did you mean print directly on the HGTV Did I understand it correctly sorry I'm still learning since February of this year Thanks for your expertise
Thank you. I have a question. Can I print a white and black skeleton on sublimation paper then use the htv for dark fabric. I was told that the white Skelton will not print
Helllo Katrina, I just subscribed to your channel and love what I've watched so far. I have a question on this particular video. You mention in this video that the next time you upload a video for the HTVRont printable vinyl for Dark materials you would do the direct print to vinyl process. I have been searching through your channel and have had no success in finding that particular video and am wondering if you have in fact uploaded it? if so can you direct me to said video. Greatly appreciate your assistance and Very Merry Christmas Wishes to you and Your Family, from Alberta, Canada.
Hello welcome to the channel and no I haven’t done that yet but I did it with easy SUBLI same concept so you can watch that video for now. Just type in the search in my home page easy SUBLI videos it should come up. Thenksb
Not sure what you mean by thick. If you pressed it and the image came out that’s how it feels. It’s not sublimation by itself. You’re going to feel the HTV
Hey beautiful, FYI...I watched Crystal on "Crafty" and she says to sublimate first then bleach. Doing it like that will prevent scorching and the image won't be bleached!!😊
Honestly..sooo grateful that you show the oops moments and taught us how to fix it. I learned a lot.
Thank you. Glad to help.
I appreciate that you explained things without over explaining. It makes it easier for us newbies to understand and follow along.
Katrina girl you did that, thank you so much for showing me how to do this I had been wondering how to do sublimation on dark shirts for so long but thanks to you I am ready!! Peace and blessings be multiplied to you and yours!! May the Lord forever bless your hands!!
I have watched SOOOOO many videos about how to do this but yours made the pieces click together. THANK YOU❤❤❤❤
@@NEENEEx5 thank you I’m glad it did. I try to make it make sense and easy for everyone.
It looks perfect to me. I love it. Thank you for showing us and what to do if you make a mistake. Great job.

Yeah I prefer DTF as well. this is a learning platform so I try to show all methods for people who don’t have all equipment.
omg you saved me I would do almost the same process. over and over again some videos didn't work finally yours did I was tired of using all my paper and wasting it. your video worked perfectly thanks.
So glad it was helpful 🙏🏽
I tried it again, but the vinyl comes out bigger than the paper why.
Wow, that shirt came out really nice. I'm going to try to learn what you just showed❤
Go for it
It came out GREAT 👍🏽
I've used it on a Light Pink Gildan crewneck sweater & mine came out really good..
Thank you
Thank you so much!!! Wish I found this video last week when my daughter wanted a special sublimation shirt for her boyfriend. Now she’s getting this style for Christmas. Thank you again!!!!
You’re very welcome
Thank you? Never knew about the trick with the small iron
Katrina you did a great job with this and I love the design!!
@@msmarisadenise thank you

Thank you. Yeah doing 1 pieces are much easier
I love how it came out. Bella Canvas t shirts is a good choice too.
The best
Hi Katrina,
I have been waiting for you to do this method so thank you very much! You ROCK!!!!
You are very welcome. I will be doing it again soon.
For some reason, I was thinking I had to use my Silhouette to cut both the vinyl backing and the printed image on the paper, but i guess you don't. I could not figure out in my head for the life of me! Thanks for explaining it!
Very nice job on that shirt and I like the black Betty boop design. Great choice.💙💙💙🖤🖤🖤

Thanks for sharing, I tried this and Feld, I will try your way next. Love you video you was direct and to the point
Awesome! Thank you!

Transfers are the way to go
Which video is that?
Wife talking- yes if is. I thought it was me. 😂
Thank you so much for this video. It was most helpful. I will be reaching back out to attend one of your sessions. Your work is amazing
Yes, please do print and cut. Thanks
Yes it's Friday getting to see what you have created
Yay! We love Fridays
Absolutely gorgeous!
Looks great, concerned on vinyl under
Looks fabulous! Love it!
Thanks so much!

Beautiful! What shelf are you using for the oven and the press?
That looks like a great heat press.. what kind is it?
I’m so happy to know that we can do this on Design Space! Question, do you have a video explaining ICC files? Thank you and be well ❤
No lot yet because I never had a need to use it. My colors come out perfect without it
Thank you for all you do!😊😊
Well done. Great job
I will have to try printing directly on the easy subli. I have a long list of things I want to try.
Why I got set to basic cut for the offset ? Thx 😊
Thanks for this video! Would you have any idea why my shirt would come out 'blotchy'? The colors weren't solid.
How did it do in the washing. Are the colors still there. Did if fade quickly?
Wonder if that vinyl has a short tack press setting like siser does? That way you dont over heat it and limit the shrink that is cause by pressing it to long just to tack it down.
I will try it shorter time next time but I pressed it for 7 seconds
can you use the clear on a dark shirt. is military green considered dark?
Hey Katrina TGIF. Here watching.
Awesome 👏
Do you always have to do white under sublimation dk, ? Haven't started yet
I love this, it looks amazing 😊
Thank you! 😊
Thank you 🙏🏽 I have a question 🙋♀️ how do you get a bigger image on Cricut design space ?? It’s only allowing me to print and cut a smaller image 😢
So no print will be identical. Can you get enough money to compensate for the excess waist?
Awesomeness I have tried this once I cut around my image it was challenging however I'm a tiny bit confused when you stated that you were going to print directly on it Did you mean print directly on the HGTV

Thanks!!
Thank you Katrina for your video
LOOKS GREAT!! OMG!😍
Thank you!!
Thank you. I have a question. Can I print a white and black skeleton on sublimation paper then use the htv for dark fabric. I was told that the white Skelton will not print
You go girl!!!
Great tutorial. What size printer are you using? I always have trouble trying to do larger prints as Cricut stops it at 6.5 x 9 something.
Are you able to print directly onto the htv for dark colors? I never tried thank and would love to see that
Yes I do it.
I love your videos, you keep it real. Where did you get the image? I would love to make one with the Bucs and of course Giants ( nyc girl too).
Hunny u did that!!@@ great job u really helped me ty
You’re welcome
Looks great!!!!
What do you mean printing directly on material? Directly to Tee or Sublimation htv? Thanks
What temperature and time would I use for infusible ink transfer sheets?
So with Cricut I can print & cut bigger than 9.5 x 6.75? I’m new to this.
Yeah waiting for that auto tumbler press
Ince I get home so will unbox it
Does this make the artwork area feel like a plastic bib?
THANK YOU FOR SHARING IT TURNED OUT FIRER I HAVE A LOT OF FAMILY GO PANTHERS
Thank you
It looks amazing but I can't never find the vinyl on the website
Good video thanks looks good ❤
Thank you too
When I sub on vinyl, my print is very dull, am I doing something wrong, I pressed at the same heat and time I would press just sub on a poly shirt.
This was great info!
Glad it was helpful!
I love it!!!!
Great job thank you🙏🏽❤️🥰
This is awesome
Thank you
Is htv vinyl yhe same that you use with cricket or is it special vinyl?

@@katrinasgracefulcreations3711 Thanks so much I'll have a peek at that one and await the other one.
Can you use it on this on any dark colors
Was the vinyl matte or glossy? That you used
I would like to know if it was matt or glossy. I ordered glossy and I'm not liking how it look
🔥☎️!... i was strugglin' before this!
What if you don't have a Cricut ? What would the process be then ?
Quick question do you know why my shirt would bleed through my design? And I using too much heat?
Does it feel like vinyl on there? I really like the sublimation method so you don’t feel the vinyl.
Did you get to print directly onto the HTV like you said. I've never seen anyone do it. I've only saw Easy Subli be printed on. I'd love to know
@@judyromano2229 no I never tried it. The product was to curled
Impressed!
You can also sublimate on to white glitter htv, using the same technique if you like sparkly stuff. Xx
How would you do this if you only habe 8.5x11?
How do you know when to mirror the htv
When I did this. The vinyl was really thick. What could I do different? It is htv ront sublimation for dark fabric
Not sure what you mean by thick. If you pressed it and the image came out that’s how it feels. It’s not sublimation by itself. You’re going to feel the HTV
Hey beautiful, FYI...I watched Crystal on "Crafty" and she says to sublimate first then bleach. Doing it like that will prevent scorching and the image won't be bleached!!😊
I will try it that way next time someone else mentioned that as well thanks
