How to Apply Iron On Vinyl

1. Cut your Iron-On Vinyl

   After you've uploaded your design to your software, you will want to cut your Iron-On Vinyl shiny side down and be sure the image is reversed. Your machine should not cut completely through the clear carrier sheet. You want your vinyl to have a “kiss cut” meaning it has cut through the vinyl but not the sheet it came on.

2. How to Weed Iron-On Vinyl

   Using a weeding tool or safety pin, remove all of the negatives of the image. Leave the part of the image that you want on your carrier sheet so that the image will stay where it is supposed to.

3. Prepare your surface

   You'll want to preheat your clothing to get all the moisture out. Follow the manufacturer's instructions on what temperature you need to press at and whether or not you need to peel the carrier sheet off while it is still hot or has cooled down.

4. How to Apply Iron On Vinyl

   Again, read the manufacturer's instruction on what temperature you need to set your Heat Press or EasyPress on. The most common kind of Iron-On is called Siser EasyWeed. To apply to a cotton t-shirt, preheat your EasyPress to 305F degrees and press your HTV for 30 seconds. Remove while the carrier sheet is still warm.

5. How to care for your garment after applying HTV

   Wash your garment inside out and if you need to press, press it from the back. Hang dry or tumble on low heat.
