Omg, my husband bought me a heat press about 2 years ago during covid I was so overwhelmed and didn't know how to start. Your information is os helpful. I am now ready to start projects. Thank you so much
We just bought our first clamshell heat press that came with minimal instructions and were not sure how to use it. After watching this video we are now extremely confident and can't wait to put it to use! Thank you so very much!
Oh and I LOVE how you can scroll through the video and it has headings on the topic you’re talking about so you know exactly where to stop. Sensational!
This is exactly what I needed, husband bought mine for mother's day and I've been so intimidated, now I feel more informed and way less scared of the thing!😂
This is the best video I have found about heat press machines... I wish life would come with a tutorial from her hahahaha, she explains so good and her voice is so nice. Thank you!!!
Thank you so much. I see this is 3 years old, but it appears to be very up to date. I was given a heat press with no instructions or manual, so I am thrilled to learn all this from you. Great job!
Just so you know...I am in love with you!! This was beyond thorough and I now have much less trepidation about buying and using my 1st heat press. You are a treasure to the HTV freshman class! ❤️
Omg no way! I think I flunked my freshman phase 3 times! I've had my heatpress over a year and always get information overload when I Google it. So I'm not the only one. I'm stuck at the brands. What's a good ink brand, a good printer, and brand of heat transfer paper to get? It's for mostly cotton shirts. I Google it but again there is so much various ways. I just want brightness and durability I guess.
I am researching different heat presses, I have an easy press but its time to upgrade to something a little more practical for me. Making T Shirts for a hobby went into a small business. I've watched a few videos on different heat presses and this is by far my favorite. I never comment on videos but You got to the point and kept my attention the whole time! Thank you!!
I am so glad you mentioned that about the table height. I have broken my back and now have long lasting problems from that. I had an easy press because I could lift it without problems. I finally have a permanent place to store a full size heat press. I was a little worried about the difficulty of kicking it on place so I will make sure to try out a lower table.
You are AMAZING! This was so informative for a beginner. I had no idea how to do the pressure test or to fold the substrate to find the middle seam. Thank you so much!
I have a clam shell. My husband found it for me on Amazon and paid $125 for it. My son n law made a cabinet for it to sit on. I have never had a problem with it. I love it!!!
Thank you so much for this. Lot's of good information. Heat press seems so simple, and it is but it helps to know about the pillows, the paper and the pads. I appreciate it.
This is by far the best video I have watched, well explained with the heat press machine. Now I'm just having a headache on which heatpress to choose from
good video. I just subscribed. I made teflon heat press pillows for 2 years for a friend of mine in the heat press industry. He retired. The same guy just sold me his heat press (15x15) , a Cameo 3 cutter with Bluetooth, a Cricut Easy Press heat press ( the 12x10 size) i guess you'd call it " hand held" and a bunch of vinyl . I already made a design and applied it to a practice shirt no problem, I'm so excited about this. Lots to learn : )
What a wonderful tutorial! I bought my first 15 x 15 Clamshell Heat Press and needed a tutorial to start using it. Thank you for teaching! I was totally unaware I needed additional tools to ensure my designs come out perfect. Again, thank YOU!!!
You are so amazing. I really learned alot watching this detailed video. My brother bought a heat press and started making really cool stuff so I decided to follow suit. My heat press came in a couple of days ago and he has been helping me with what he has learned. I still enjoy watching videos because I still tend to learn things I havent experienced yet or even thought about. I learned ALOT from this. I love your shop, detailed, attitude and your enthusiasm. You really need your own show. Thanks again. Oh and I also enjoyed your sense of humor. Look forward to following you as a new subscriber.
Thank you for all of the information that you provide! Your videos are very informative, well laid out and you present them so well! Please keep teaching us newbies!
Thanks for the thorough video! I've just started looking for a heat press after having so much trouble getting htv to stick with the easy press and I'm practically laying on the easy press for pressure.
This is great! I just got a heat press for Christmas and didn't really know much about it (other than what it does) so thank you for this tutorial! I'll be sure to order the pillows! Thank you!
I am just starting out with sublimation and heatpress with vinyl. Finding your videos very helpful. Had a SNC since they came out in the UK and done loads with it but now its time to do what I always wanted to do. Late as always compared to others but willing to learn about sublimation and vinly heatpressing. Thank you so much, you have given me loads to think about,
Just bought my first swing away heat press after my Cricut easy press needed replacement in only 2-3 months. Not many videos out there on how to use the heat press and the different styles so appreciated your thoroughness, your honesty is great because reality is we do things all differently and it was nice to see the reasons for those pads! LOL Seriously, vendors do such a poor job with the manual/directions as you know. Thanks again!
I’m very interested in starting to make t shirts, towels or anything else with a press. This was super informative. One question, what do you use to create the heat transfers?

Thank you, this was very useful. LOL I wish I had seen this yesterday, as I bought a heat press last night, and now I am wondering if I should have bought a clamshell instead of a swing away...well, live and learn. I will bolt it well to an end table :) Thanks for the tips!
Thanks for the fast reply! I trust your advice but was just wondering since the manufacturer doesn't mention/recommend it. Sounds like it's very much recommended but not mandatory.

Wow, I didn’t know it was so easy! Thank you, I’m looking for a job right now and there was a custom printing tshirt place that’s hiring near me so I was hoping to learn it, glad to say quickest way to learn!
I just got my heat press well just got my husband to put it together, and for now it is on a long white folding table that I use as my work area for tumblers. It’s that hard plastic white table a lot of people use at events. Now I’m not sure if I should use it on that surface as it is a swing one. I haven’t used it yet because I’m waiting on the Teflon sheets and pillows. I also just upgraded to a larger convection oven for sublimation tumblers that he is about to build a wooden table for it and my printers and cricut to sit on. I’m curious if I need to move the press to something like that instead of the hard plastic table? I’m planning to use it just for sublimation at this time. Do you have a tutorial for sublimation? I’m so scared to get to using it yet.
I see that some people attach the Teflon to the top of heat press then some say Teflon us not good for sublimation causes moisture. Can i just use butcher paper or card stock,inside shirt for sublimation or do i have to have a pillow
Help! I have looked and looked on amazon there are so many to choose from i want to start my business but i have no clue what brand is best and quality. I didnt hear you mention your brand ill watch again to see if i missed it... thanks so much
Thank you for watching with us and if you have any questions, just shout! There are so many different heat presses out there so if you need any suggestions or recommendations, let us know 🙂 - Dawn
Hey there! I'll post a link here for you. It seems the price has increased a little since I purchased a few years ago (what hasn't though, right? LOL). It's been a great press. Hope this helps! ---Becky www.heatpressnation.com/products/hpn-15x15-signature-series-heat-press-auto-open
Hello, thanks so much for your video. I want to cure plastisol ink (silkscreen printing). Would you recommend using a heat press for this task? I'm finding conflicting information about this area. I really hope you've had experience with this or know of someone that has. Thanks again.
Found a heat press that wasn’t working replace the on off switch fuses and wires working perfectly now but once it reaches desired, temperature it makes clicking noise is that norma… but it does maintain a steady 315°
I know what you mean about the balance for the swing away models. Mine didn't fall, but almost, and it's hot as crap, so it still wasn't pretty almost burning me.

Awesome info. Thank you
I was hoping for some information on how you get the design from a computer and printed? Like what is that you put on the tea-towel?
It will depend what material you are using. You could sublimate it or you could use HTV on the tea towel.
@@DesignBundles thanks. I've done some more research. So do we need several different printers? Or are there printers that do everything?
Thank you thank you thank you!!! Your information was soooo helpful!!! I was really struggling trying to decide what heat press to purchase. You answered all of my questions..... and even ones I didnt know I had!! haha!!

How do you like your geo knight?
I know what you mean about the balance for the swing away models. Mine didn't fall, but almost, and it's hot as crap, so it still wasn't pretty almost burning me.
Thank you professional yapper ❤️💯
Lovely, thanks
