Official allergy statement from Cricut: Cricut Hat Press includes a Hat Pressing Form that contains walnut shells. Cricut has applicable ALLERGY WARNING information posted on our product details page, outer packaging, internal shrink-wrapping of the Hat Pressing Form, and permanently affixed on the care instructions label on the Hat Pressing Form itself. While we do not currently believe that hats are unsafe to wear after heat pressing using the Hat Pressing Form, we highly recommend you consult with your allergy specialist if you have any concerns about the severity of any allergies. In case of any irritation, immediately wash skin with soap and water; if irritation persists, seek immediate medical attention.
So they didn't test thier products to see if hats made with this could cause an allergic reaction! Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen when people are selling products made with this and not notifying thier customers.
I made 5 hats at Christmas, I used my mini press, sublimation and I rolled a bath sheet as tight as I could and tied it with fabric to hold it's rolled shape to insert into the hat, it worked great.👍
Would love to see Cricut come with a tumbler press....a version similar to the mug press but taller and can carry up to the 30 oz tumbler....that would be awesome....the mug press works wonders so imagine the tumbler press
I would love to see a new mug press as well to use with different sizes. Like the hat press, but just don't make many of those so would probably still use my mini press. Thank you Angie. Love your testing video's so looking forward to that.
Angie, you do the best videos. I ordered my hat press at 12:12 am on the 13th. I just got it on Sunday the 20th. I opened the box and no hat press. I got the heat tape, iron on material and hats. I couldn't believe it. I called customer service and she told that they were having a lot of problems like this. She said that I will get the hat press soon. The bundle I got was on sale.
Another through video Angie explaining this hat press. It is interesting and might be one for the craft room down the road. I am anxious to see what all hats you make as well as using the other new machine's with product. Thanks again Angie, you always do a wonderful job! Hugs, Brenda
Knew this and the other heat press item were coming. Cricut was losing market share to the commercial heat press industry with us using their HTV and Infusible ink products with the market heat presses. About time!
Ok Angie, I have to have one of these. My boyfriend has been asking me to make him a hat. I bought a mini easy press but still leery about trying it. Santa Claus may have to bring me this if my boyfriend doesn’t do it first LOL. Thank you so much for your video’s to explain these new items to us. You do such a wonderful and detailed job. Love from Ohio.
Thanks for the video Angie. I have been making hats for quite some time using an easy press and a professional hat press. I have used felt,HTV,and even Siser Brick on my hats. I am looking forward to this product as I think it will make things a lot simpler.Can’t wait to see your upcoming videos using this hat press. .
I subscribed to your channel because my Cricut is still in the box so I came across your video on the hat press and wow so informative and detailed instructions Im waiting for the availability of ordering the hat press and Im ordering the Mug heat press thank you I will continue to follow your channel for instructions and Learning
Angie video got me get running with my cricut so easy to follow her .. love watching Angie video over n over .. motherday day soon n my birthday so cud get one hat press lol
Thanks for a wonderful review. I've been wanting a hat press but needed something that would fit into my craft room without taking up too much space. This one, looks like it will work well. I have been toying with sublimation and feel that the new hat press will work with what I have in mind.
@@toisaundenson8309 I got it at the fabric store it is used to press out curved seams. It is heavy and heat resistant. It works great for hats with the mini press
Thanks for the tutorial. This is going to be a fun addition to my crafting addiction. I'm very interested in using sublimation hats and inks, so I'll be searching for a good source to purchase the kind of hats I prefer!
Thank you so much for this very informative video! Our Chairman of Deacons at our Church asked me if I could “make him some hats”. Your video makes me a little more comfortable about saying yes to his request! Lol
I have blank hats coming in and I was wondering how I would do HTV with an easy press but I see Cricut has thought of it all ! I'll have to invest in this heat press.
Thank you for the review! I have concerns with the walnut form. If you're using it while heat pressing, it sounds like you would have to have a warning on your product regarding walnuts for customers with a nut allergy.

@@AngieHolden I love your videos. Thank you! I definitely love the hat press and will purchase. Previouly I used a towel and wig head and mini press. But this would work perfect.
This was awesome, but 1 thing I didn't hear discussed is whether or not your design needs to be mirrored in the app, because of the reverse process. It didn't look like your project required that.
I always recommend waiting for a sale with Cricut. Remember at a new product launch you are seeing the suggested retail price. They will drop it below that.
The hat press is nice but as a person who has owned a Cricut Explore and now a Maker it is disappointing that Cricut comes out with new items but we remain with the small print and cut size. I know many people have expressed how much they could use the larger print and cut size. I like my Cricut products but feel that I may need to look else where because of the limited print and cut feature.
Thanks Angie! You always do such a good job explaining things! Two questions: 1) I have the mini press and absolutely love it. It can be used for round objects so just wondering why I would want to purchase this? Is it that much better than the mini press; and 2) Would it fit a child's hat? Looks like it would only fit an adult hat. Wonder if they plan to sell different sizes.
great vids!! thanks!! 😊 FYI.. there are other less expensive hat presses.. for example.. VEVOR brand has a hat press on Amazon.. MSRP $129.. currently they have a $10 coupon.. so.. an industrial hat press for $119 this cricut hat press is cute.. sleek and compact.. too bad the price points are way off.. especially with that new thousand dollar heat press.. 🤷♀️
There are definitely more options on the market. VEVOR definitely does NOT make industrial presses however. I would think the Cricut Hat Press is more for people that don't want to take up the room for a large press. I myself fall into this category. I don't have the space for ANOTHER press for the amount of hats I will make but this small press and form are easy to store.
Greetings Angie from sunny Cape Town 🇿🇦 SA. I just love your videos and learn so much from you. You are very informative. Thank you so much. I'm so excited the Hat Press is now in South Africa (only the one online store so far), i have just ordered it and I have been g👀gling at it online overseas for months. I don't have any allergies, but would it in any way affect the cap that I'm selling?? Have Cricut had any feedback pertaining to this?? I would really love to know. Thank you in advance 🩷
Thanks for the awesome video! I love the idea of putting your heat resist tape in a dispenser but I’m having trouble finding one that will hold a roll that wide. Where did you get yours from?!
Just now researching to buy a cricut. I'm a senior on a very tight budget, can I purchase the 9 by 9 to use for hats and other items instead of purchasing the dedicated hat press. Thank you. Love your videos
I don't like the 9x9 for hats. I have tried it and it doesn't work. That being said, there are all sorts of mini irons on the market that can work with hats with a little patience.
Thanks for the great tutorial! My hat press is being delivered tomorrow. Can’t wait! Are the SVGs you used in Design Space? Especially the bad hair day. What color infusible ink sheet did you use? Love the colors! Thanks
Yes they are in Design Space. I linked to the project in the description below the video. You can open it up and delete off any you don't want to make. The sheet for the bad hair day was in a watercolors splash patterns box.
@@AngieHolden So I have my label in my phone I want only colors of white, black, and red on the same label. I do want to use a vinyl sheet for shine how do I print them out to use for the heat hat press? I’m ordering the press tonight. Please get back to me as soon as you can thanks so much for this informative video!!
Thank you Angie. Can you do sublimation on blank 3x6 bicycle license plates? Kids love these fastened with zip ties under their bike seats..... some adults too. Which is better? Metal or plastic.
My only question about this hat press, is how does the HTV transfer on caps, when most have seams down the center? Thanks so much for these videos! (Oops, typed question before you made the hat!). Thanks!
I wonder if they’ll eventually sell the hat form separately especially for those who can not purchase the hat press due to a nut allergy. Also if you need more than one form!
Angie why all of the moving of the press from side to side? With sublimation you are not supposed to move the press so just wondering “why” that would be necessary if the press plate covers the image. Same for HTV…I would worry that the glue would spread with the movement.
It doesn't make any sense to me either. I was excited for this press since I do have to go back and forth with the mini press so other than the pillow form all I see with this one is less effort. Thankfull for this video❤
VERY ANNOYING. I WAS APPROVED THROUGH AFFIRM TO FINANCE IT. IM GOING TO START OFF PAYING THAT WAY THEN PAY IT OFF 3 MONTHS LATER. INCOME TAX MONEY WILL PAY IT OFF.
The hats that I have has a tag in them that says acrylic and cotton. I assume that the larger count is acrylic since it is listed first. The problem is, the hat press doesn't list acrylic as an option. So I need to know what the material I would use for HTV or sublimation. Can you help me with this?
Thanks for the video! I watched this video as well as your Cricut guide video and have a question. Do you know if Cricut has any guides for baseball hats so we can use it them in DS? I looked in the template section and there was nothing. I searched in the image section and all I could find were baseball hats with a partial side view, not a front view (if that makes sense). You would think that since Cricut came out with this hat press, they would have some hats available as guides. Any suggestions would be helpful. Thanks!
Thanks for this great video…I’m impatiently waiting to order this Hat Press. You explained everything perfectly but I do think you may use too much of the Heat Press tape when pressing HTV…just my opinion.
Better to be safe then sorry you could also check online for other heat press tapes that are strong grip. I rarely use Cricut Heat tape unless it comes with something I have purchased from them like a bundle etc.
I love their heat tape! I did find a good alternate on Amazon for the regular grip though. I am sure some strong grip will come out soon from off brands.
I just bought the HTVront mini heat press for doing hats, etc. ( I could not swing the Cricut Hat Press) can I use the Cricut heat press app with this? or do I even need to?
There's usually cardboard inside the bill of the trucker or baseball caps. It doesn't make any sense to require people to login to an external service or website in order to use a piece of standalone hardware. Nor does it make sense to have to use a wireless controller via software on a person's mobile phone or tablet PC. Bluetooth is easily broken into.
So basically if I use this form, then I would have to put a warning on all hats I sell that people with severe nut allergies could potentially have a reaction?
You warned folks with nut/walnut allergies about using the hat form. Is there going to be a problem for someone with a nut allergy to wear a hat that was pressed on the walnut form?
The warning on the press form does not say that. I just read the information that was included from Cricut. I do think it is more precautionary as you don't actually come into contact with the shells.

My concern is that hat form containing walnuts. Would this mean that I couldn’t use it to sells hats because of allergy issues? Would I be liable if something happens

What’s the material selection for sublimation?
wow - thank you for highlighting this - we have life threatening allergies to tree nuts

Would love to see Cricut come with a tumbler press....a version similar to the mug press but taller and can carry up to the 30 oz tumbler....that would be awesome....the mug press works wonders so imagine the tumbler press
That's what I'm waiting for
On TH-cam, there is a video tutorial of how to get a tumbler to work in the Cricut mug press!
@@storybrookeasmr yes that's how I make my tumblers but wish they just make a tumbler press
I would love to see a new mug press as well to use with different sizes. Like the hat press, but just don't make many of those so would probably still use my mini press. Thank you Angie. Love your testing video's so looking forward to that.
The hat press might be something I would actually purchase in the future especially if I can find it discounted on sale. Thanks for the demo.
I bought it at Walmart for $99. It was the online price and they gave it to me in store.
I can’t wait till Black Friday now, I really want one of these
Your videos are thorough, easy to follow and comprehend.

You almost always mirror HTV, iron on, and sublimation. All of these were mirrored.
Oh no now I'm replacing my hat press to now 🤣
ANGIE TELL CRICUT TO SEND ONE TO MY ADDRESS HERE IN AUSTRALIA 🇦🇺 😀
HA! Thanks for watching!
I like the hat press but what do they always be so high and I wish they would make a bigger print and cut
I always recommend waiting for a sale with Cricut. Remember at a new product launch you are seeing the suggested retail price. They will drop it below that.

Just like a press now something new. Wonder if a new mug press is on the way hum!
I can tell you I don't know of anything else new but that isn't saying much! I don't usually know until a few weeks before.
Thanks Angie! You always do such a good job explaining things! Two questions: 1) I have the mini press and absolutely love it.

I am planning to answer all of these questions in future videos!
I have the same exact question 🙂
nice teaching video
Great video! Do you know what we could use instead of the pillow form? If I need a replacement? I’m not sure Cricut sells replacements
Gosh I am not sure!
I love your videos. Thank you so much for sharing. Where do I find the designs or Do I have to create my own?
There were in Cricut Design Space.
@@AngieHolden thank you
Wouldn’t the mini press do the same thing? Could you compare these?
I used the mini press on a hat. It wasn't as quick. But honestly I liked being able to control the area that got more heat with the little point.
@Jill MacDonald that was my same question. 😄
I could definitely compare them! I will add that to my list!
great vids!! thanks!! 😊
FYI.. there are other less expensive hat presses.. for example.. VEVOR brand has a hat press on Amazon.. MSRP $129.. currently they have a $10 coupon.. so.. an industrial hat press for $119
this cricut hat press is cute.. sleek and compact.. too bad the price points are way off.. especially with that new thousand dollar heat press.. 🤷♀️
There are definitely more options on the market. VEVOR definitely does NOT make industrial presses however.

I have not seen them mention this but I think it is worth mentioning to those that you sell to.
Thank you so much, Angie, for your reply.
Thanks for the awesome video! I love the idea of putting your heat resist tape in a dispenser but I’m having trouble finding one that will hold a roll that wide. Where did you get yours from?!
Just Amazon! It is just an office tape dispenser.
I just want the hat form lol
Just now researching to buy a cricut. I'm a senior on a very tight budget, can I purchase the 9 by 9 to use for hats and other items instead of purchasing the dedicated hat press. Thank you. Love your videos
I don't like the 9x9 for hats. I have tried it and it doesn't work. That being said, there are all sorts of mini irons on the market that can work with hats with a little patience.

Thanks for the great tutorial! My hat press is being delivered tomorrow. Can’t wait! Are the SVGs you used in Design Space? Especially the bad hair day. What color infusible ink sheet did you use? Love the colors! Thanks
Yes they are in Design Space. I linked to the project in the description below the video. You can open it up and delete off any you don't want to make. The sheet for the bad hair day was in a watercolors splash patterns box.

Love your video and explanations. Does the hat press work with youth size hats
Try this: th-cam.com/video/qzQ_JGsLoUI/w-d-xo.html
I love all your explanation and videos. Can I know Where do you find the tape dispenser?
It was a VERY cheap one from Amazon!
Thank you Angie. Can you do sublimation on blank 3x6 bicycle license plates? Kids love these fastened with zip ties under their bike seats..... some adults too. Which is better? Metal or plastic.
Try this: th-cam.com/video/wX7uHVfWT4s/w-d-xo.html
Hi try it on mug handles with sublimation or unusable ink thank u
I don't think it is going to work on a mug handle. The curve would have to be right on.
My only question about this hat press, is how does the HTV transfer on caps, when most have seams down the center? Thanks so much for these videos! (Oops, typed question before you made the hat!). Thanks!
HA! It does work and work well!
Can you use infusable ink (with a full color picture or image) on a non-white front hat surface?
You need polyester to make infusible ink work. And the ink is see through so you will see the color of the blank through the ink.
Does the form fit baby and children's hats? Bucket hats in particular.
Here you go: th-cam.com/video/qzQ_JGsLoUI/w-d-xo.html
Awesome review! Can you use ultra heat bond and an embroidered patch with the hat press?
Try this: th-cam.com/video/Ki-vkJJ8C8A/w-d-xo.html
Great video, I am a beginner, but I have one question, I thought we ae not to move a heat press with sublimation?
With this, you would. I do some sublimation hats with it here: th-cam.com/video/qzQ_JGsLoUI/w-d-xo.html&lc=UgyUEzrQ-Ct757mtRLJ4AaABAg
I wonder if they’ll eventually sell the hat form separately especially for those who can not purchase the hat press due to a nut allergy. Also if you need more than one form!
They said they did not plan to at launch. Now they can always change their minds.
Angie why all of the moving of the press from side to side? With sublimation you are not supposed to move the press so just wondering “why” that would be necessary if the press plate covers the image. Same for HTV…I would worry that the glue would spread with the movement.
Yep. They say it is to evenly distribute the heat. It is what is recommended with this one.
It doesn't make any sense to me either. I was excited for this press since I do have to go back and forth with the mini press so other than the pillow form all I see with this one is less effort. Thankfull for this video❤
Hi Angie. Any idea if Cricut will offer more styles of hats in the future (bucket hats, visors, etc.)? Thanks!
Not that I know of but anything is possible!
Can you try pressing a basketball or volleyball? or is that a weird request?
I have thought about it! I am adding some experiments to my calendar. We will see what I can come up with!
Stuffed animals? The strong grip tape is not available?
I saw Jennifer Maker did a stuffed animal. I am showing the tape as available when I look.
Where can I purchase the Nomex
Pad to help with making puzzles?
I got mine from dyetrans . com.
Will you always need Transfer tape and transfer paper?
You need heat resistant tape and butcher paper.
I would really like to have one of these. The hat press attachment in my heat press is super annoying to work with
I think so too!
VERY ANNOYING. I WAS APPROVED THROUGH AFFIRM TO FINANCE IT. IM GOING TO START OFF PAYING THAT WAY THEN PAY IT OFF 3 MONTHS LATER. INCOME TAX MONEY WILL PAY IT OFF.
Can you do multiple layers
Yes you can!
Hello! Any word on if there will be different size forms, for making smaller hats?
I should have a video up Friday if I can get it done with ideas for different sized hats. If my ideas work! HA!
The hats that I have has a tag in them that says acrylic and cotton. I assume that the larger count is acrylic since it is listed first. The problem is, the hat press doesn't list acrylic as an option. So I need to know what the material I would use for HTV or sublimation. Can you help me with this?
I would use HTV for that. The cotton is probably the front and acrylic is probably the mesh portion.
Can you use printable iron on for light/dark fabrics on hats?
Yep you can!
@@AngieHolden thank you!
So, in order to be able to use these new heat presses, you'll need a mobile device or will they work on their own without having to use the apps??
As shown in the video, you have to download the app to register this and then it will work with or without the app.
Thanks for the video! I watched this video as well as your Cricut guide video and have a question. Do you know if Cricut has any guides for baseball hats so we can use it them in DS?

I have not seen any. You can not make your own though.
Thanks for this great video…I’m impatiently waiting to order this Hat Press. You explained everything perfectly but I do think you may use too much of the Heat Press tape when pressing HTV…just my opinion.
You can try it yourself. I find that the carrier sheet wrinkles and I wouldn't get a good press.
Better to be safe then sorry you could also check online for other heat press tapes that are strong grip. I rarely use Cricut Heat tape unless it comes with something I have purchased from them like a bundle etc.
I love their heat tape! I did find a good alternate on Amazon for the regular grip though. I am sure some strong grip will come out soon from off brands.
TOMORROW IT COMES OUT.
I just bought the HTVront mini heat press for doing hats, etc. ( I could not swing the Cricut Hat Press) can I use the Cricut heat press app with this? or do I even need to?
You can't use the app with anything that is not Cricut brand. However, you do not need it.
There's usually cardboard inside the bill of the trucker or baseball caps. It doesn't make any sense to require people to login to an external service or website in order to use a piece of standalone hardware. Nor does it make sense to have to use a wireless controller via software on a person's mobile phone or tablet PC. Bluetooth is easily broken into.
Why does the temperature button blink when I turn it on
Have you used it before? Have you registered it?
Do you have links to the black hat?
It is a Cricut hat.
So basically if I use this form, then I would have to put a warning on all hats I sell that people with severe nut allergies could potentially have a reaction?
Possibly. That would be the safest thing to do.
Can you use iron on patches?

How much does that form weight? Looks heavy.
It is 3 lbs.
On the app it does not say sublimation - what level should I put the press at ?
I would set a manual time and temp according to the instructions for your blank.
Like a name going straight down
What setting would you recommend for twill caps?
I would do similar to cotton I think.
@@AngieHolden Thank you!!
Can you use this press to put patches on hats?
Video coming later today!
Or cricut can make mugs with a skinny rectangle handle where we can put a name on handle
You warned folks with nut/walnut allergies about using the hat form. Is there going to be a problem for someone with a nut allergy to wear a hat that was pressed on the walnut form?
The warning on the press form does not say that. I just read the information that was included from Cricut. I do think it is more precautionary as you don't actually come into contact with the shells.
I am following up with Cricut about this to make sure!
I would love to know too.

i like this video😃
what about dtf tranfer press
My daughter is looking to put patches on caps. So you think this would work for that?
Hmmmm...adding to my list to investigate that. Just iron on patches?
Can you use this on beenie hats
Sure. Try this: th-cam.com/video/qzQ_JGsLoUI/w-d-xo.html
Do you think this could work on a sublimation bowl if the curve matched the press?
I have some of those to try. I will be trying some "alternative" surfaces to see what I can find.
@@AngieHolden thank you for responding. I should have known you would be trying alternative surfaces. You never disappoint!
will they sell the hat press at micheal or joanne and thank you for the tutorial
It will be available online at both of those starting March 13th.
Great video. I am having trouble finding the Cricut Heat App. What should I look for?
It will be released by March 13th along with the presses. I just have early access.
@@AngieHolden thanks
When you say the product has been given but it is not sponsored, does that mean the product is on loan?
No. I don't have to return it.
Will they have hats for children that we can use this with or will they make a smaller hat form?
I am actually going to try them on this form as I have an idea. Stay tuned!
My concern is that hat form containing walnuts. Would this mean that I couldn’t use it to sells hats because of allergy issues? Would I be liable if something happens
I actually sent an email to Cricut asking some questions similar to this yesterday as I don't have an answer right now.

Every time I try to get in my account it says something wrong and won’t let me sign in
I would contact Cricut customer service for that.
What is the name of the heat app?
