HTV APPLICATION GUIDE

- Put your HTV into your cutting machine colored/shiny side down.

- Before you cut, make sure your image is reversed/mirrored.

- Cut your HTV. REMEMBER: Different types of HTV require different depths of cut settings. ALWAYS do a small test cut before cutting out your whole image to make sure it is cutting through correctly.

- Weed the HTV from the image that isn't needed for your design.

- Flip the image over and place it on top of the product you are placing the HTV on.

- With the shiny/plastic side up, place a sheet of baking paper on top of the clear plastic sheet so it is between your press and your transfer sheet.

- Press for the heat settings and time outlined below.

- Take off the baking paper and slowly peel the clear plastic off the image when still WARM, not hot, not cold. If it doesn't peel off, put baking paper back and press for another 10-20 seconds and try again. 

- Once the image is successfully transferred to your product, re press for about the same time you did above to make sure it has adhered successfully. Seeing the "grain' of the fabric through the HTV is what you should see.

- Do not wash product for at least 24-48hrs after application.

- ALWAYS do a test of your vinyl and product in a small area first before starting a project!!

- For longevity for the HTV, a heat press is always recommended over a home iron as it distributes an even heat, opposed to an iron. Cold wash with mild detergent. Avoid fabric softeners and stain removers. Do not tumble dry.
