Thanks for the video tutorial. Yours was the best one I have seen so far as it gave great tips for flooding the screen and printing in one direction ONLY!!! I was having problems with getting a thick enough design on the fabric until I used the spray adhesive and heat gun. excellent ideas!
🙌🏼😎🙌🏼 Thank you!!!! I really appreciate the support and taking the time to comment! It took me awhile to get that technique down 😂 Spray adhesive is a game changer! Heat gun comes in clutch too! Happy to help! Thanks again!!
How can I do multiple colors on top of each other with this method? Just cricut the parts I want in a certain color on a separate screen and then press it onto the base color after the base color has been hit with the heat gun?
Separate screen on base color after it dries. I’ve never tackled it myself, but I plan on it! Maybe my next video! Hopefully this helps. Let me know how it goes if you try it! Thanks for watching. 🙌🏼😎🙌🏼
I've seen a video where the vinyl was put directly on the front side (i think skipping the transfer tape even), wouldn't that work too? I wonder because you said not the front side, but the back side only.
😳😳😳 Interesting! I never thought of that. I wonder how that would affect pressing. From what I understand, you don’t want any texture on the frontside. It would make an uneven press and you might mess up the decal after the first press but I guess it could work! 🤔 Maybe I’ll give a shot to test it out! I appreciate the comment. Thanks for watching! 😎
@@sshouser31 thank you for such a quick reply. I watched all your vinyl method vids and tried out my first print screening ever last night and I put too much ink but still it came out so great. I'll be making more the next days. My kids are so happy. Thanks again.
@@katerueang6958 That’s awesome!! Hopefully my videos helped! Keep at it. It can be frustrating at times but you’ll keep getting better and better! Plus… you’ll save a ton of money! I gotta start printing shirts for my kids too. Good idea! Thanks again for reaching out! Feel free to comment anytime if you have any more questions.
No, I wouldn’t worry about it too much when you’re using this method. If you were using emulsion with fine details it probably would. I use 160. I’ve also used 110. I didn’t notice a difference between the two with my logo.
Bleeding is when the ink starts to smear on your screen/design. You definitely can use the screen/design again. Just rinse and repeat. 🧼 If you try to print with a screen that bled, it will look horrible. It doesn’t always happen, but sometimes it does!

@@sshouser31I did multiple layers and it looks great!! Definitely have to let it completely dry in between each so it doesn’t mess everything up
@@karenraspen5360 🙌🏼😎🙌🏼 Nice! Thanks for the update! You’re motivating me to give it a try myself!!

Hi! Does it matter what number mesh I use when I’m using the cricut vinyl method? Should I purchase a 160 mesh screen?
No, I wouldn’t worry about it too much when you’re using this method. If you were using emulsion with fine details it probably would. I use 160. I’ve also used 110. I didn’t notice a difference between the two with my logo.
Bleed means what then? You cant use the screen/design ever again with that design on?
Bleeding is when the ink starts to smear on your screen/design. You definitely can use the screen/design again. Just rinse and repeat. 🧼 If you try to print with a screen that bled, it will look horrible. It doesn’t always happen, but sometimes it does!
@@sshouser31 ok thanks
Will this work with hoodies?
Yeap! I’ve screen printed sweatshirts before with same method. Works great!
Which vinyl you using smart or permanent
I use Cricut Smart Permanent Vinyl.
