Using Printed HTV

• Instructions

  1. Pick your design and program to cut Right Reading. Do not mirror.

  2. Lay your vinyl on your mat with the design facing upwards, towards you.
  3. Cut the vinyl on your typical HTV setting.
  4. Pull the vinyl from your mat and place on a surface for weeding. Slightly pull a non-cut edge towards you separating the vinyl from the back carrier sheet. The back carrier sheet is a shiny clear plastic sheet.

  5. Weed your design.

  6. Find a mask or transfer sheet. (You can even use a previous carrier sheet from an already cut piece of HTV. The glitter carrier sheets work best as they have the most tack.)

    Pulling back the carrier sheet or transfer sheet.
  7. Lay the transfer sheet over your design and smooth the sheet over your design with a squeegee.
