Once all your layers are done, you can press the entire design without any carrier sheets for the full 10 seconds to finish it off. Then you can do the next layer of your design. You simply press a layer for one second, peel off the carrier sheet, place on the next layer, press it for one second, remove the carrier sheet, and repeat the process with all the layers in your design.īy pressing a layer for only one second, it will have adhered to the garment enough for you to remove the carrier sheet. Siser has what is called the ‘one second tack’, which is perfect for layering HTV. This will stop the collar and seams getting in the way and affecting the pressure. Use a heat press pillow (if you have one) either within your garment, or underneath it, to raise the area that will be transferred onto. I’m going to pre-press my shirt for three seconds. I’ve set the Power Press to 305☏, which is the temperature I’ll be pressing my HTV. There is less resistance when pulling it away from the carrier sheet.īefore I start pressing my HTV, I’m going to pre-press my blank t-shirt. This loosens the vinyl and makes it easier to weed. When using Siser EasyWeed, you can heat up your bottom heat press platen for a few seconds and then weed on the warmed platen. Once cut, I’ve weeded all the different pieces of my design and cut them into their separate parts. And I’m cutting it with my standard blade. I’ve set my dial to ‘Iron On’ and have put my HTV shiny (colored) side down on the mat. I’m using the Cricut Explore Air 2 to cut out my vinyl. Each mat will need to be mirrored because it is heat applied in reverse onto the t-shirt. I’ve got three different mats (in DS) for each color in my design. I’ve uploaded it to Cricut Design Space where I can customize and size it for my t-shirt. I’m customizing this multi-layered design in Cricut Design Space, cutting it with the Cricut Explore Air 2, and pressing it with the Power Press heat press.įor this project I’m using this cute fox SVG which has several different layers in it. Siser EasyWeed can be applied to the following fabrics: It’s a high quality brand, it’s easy to use, easy to weed, and it lasts well. Siser EasyWeed HTV is our favorite type of HTV.
I’ll show you how to layer heat transfer vinyl using Siser EasyWeed while making this sweet fox tee for my daughter. While not all types of HTV can be used as a base layer, most standard varieties can be. Layering HTV is an easy way to give dimension and color to your shirt designs!
