Let me tell you, your videos are the only ones that explain things to me properly. Your concise step by step tutorial is extremely helpful. Thank you!!
Glad it helped!
Your videos are so thorough- thank you!
Thanks for this detailed video Angie. My husband is a realtor and I like to make personalized house warming gifts for his clients after they buy a home. Everything doesn't always have to be about money. Sometimes it's good to invest in something that you can use to bring someone else joy...a little smile, or some comfort. Cricut makes being thoughtful easier. At least for me anyway.
Glad it was helpful!
Blessings over your endeavors! So welcoming and thoughtful 💕
I tried this on 100% Cotton. It did transfer but after I washed most of the ink is gone. I tried it on polyester cotton blend and it was okay and it didn’t wash out as much as the 100% Cotton. My best result came from a no boundaries shirt ( 92% polyester and 8% spandex) it did not wash out. It still looks as good as the Cricut blank shirt.
Good to know!
thanks for sharing! soon as she said it was only cricut shirts my excitement went down!
Raquel Orr where can you find the t-shirts that we’re 92%?
Sandy Christman I got them from Wal mart. It’s the no boundaries brand.
This is not what i’m expecting. I thought it’s good on any shirts until you mentioned it. Thanks!
I got a Cricut Maker for Christmas and I just purchased a Easypress 2 so I’m binging all your videos. Thanks for making things so clear. ☺️
Awesome! Thank you!
What a great clear thorough presentation. Thanks!!
Thank you for the opportunity! I would like to raise money for my community that was hit by a tornado a couple months ago, and I feel that the heat press would make the process flow better in the different items we make and sell to give back to the community.
Fantastic video. You speak so plainly so your tutorials are really clear and very helpful. Thanks Angie!
Ps...your hands and nails look like mine and other real crafters...paint...ink..other stuff, no long distracting nails, thanks!
Oh I can never have long nails! HA!
Im new to using cricut and this video was very well explained out of the millions of videos i have viewed so far !!
Love the tote bags & the mermaid shirt! And your craft room....Id never leave 😍😍😍
Thank you for this video, I've purchased infuseable on clearance and thanks to this video I know how to apply it.
Glad it was helpful!
Just a note: I have been working in this industry for a pretty long time now (not wanting to show my age). I have come to learn that the manufacturers of clothing design tshirts (specifically) to last for 50 washes. I KNOW I KNOW... I've got tshirts that I have had for decades (oops, age showing). HOWEVER, as with everything there is a "life expectancy" and 50 washes is the magical number. So, the "life" of a tshirt and the ink is probably 50 washes. Who will be here to show us a shirt that makes it to 100 washes??? :D This is an exciting product for the 'at home' market. I have been using large format printers and HTV for a few years and still prefer that method - it is quicker.
I hope to wash the heck out of my example shirt!
This is the best tutorial on cricut I've seen so far. Thank you for being so informative and precise!
I love what you did with all the materials and the products that you enhanced with.
Siser needs to come up with this
Angie Baby!!! Love ya. Thanks for this. I love your clear, precise instructions, no extra stuff, right to the point so I can go get my craft on! Thanks for all you do.
Hi Angie, you just got yourself a new subscriber. I just recently got my new Cricut Maker 3 and as a beginner (even though I've been a crafter almost all my life, but in a different direction ... Miniatures and Dollhouses) it was hard to find out what I could do with my machine and especially how to use all the available materials and tools. Your videos are soooo helpful, so thanks so much for everything you do. I found tons of videos but only subscribed to your channel and to Jennifer Maker's, that all I need to get going with my Cricut. Hugs from Germany ❤️
Welcome! Happy to have you!
Great video. You did an amazing job instructing this. There are just some out there when I need a tutorial and they just talk so much extra stuff that by the end, I am like, wait, what did she say or just totally confused. I subscribed and definitely will be coming to you for the how to videos for sure!!! Thanks again!
New cricut user here. I just bought the joy.. looking to get the explorer air 3 next. Your video was very clear and easy to understand. Thank you so much. 💓
Awesome! Thank you!
Just bought a used cricut and this video was super helpful! Thank you so much! Look forward to watching more of your awesome videos!
Love your tutorials, can’t figure out why more people don’t subscribe.
I need that shirt for my daughter 7th birthday coming up. Love it. 💕
Thanks for the hands on look- I have done some shirts, but really needed to see the pens in action. Very good video presentation too.. I’’m ready to jump in and use the pens now...👍🏼😁
My daughter and I are about to buy a Cricut, so we are brand new.
I’m finding your videos so well done and easy to understand.
I’m your newest sub. 💖
Thanks very helpful tutorial can’t wait to try Cricut Maker coming next week,
I love how thin you can get the letters onto the shirts using the pen. Thanks for the awesome review, I wasn’t 100% how everything worked beforehand.
Thanks for watching!
TYSM for this vid! Cricut should pay you because this is the best and most helpful tutorial I’ve seen!
saralro125 they're sponsoring this video, they're paying her to make this video
I’m so glad I watched this before I tried infusible ink
You did an amazing job explaining this! I just starting to figure it out!
Glad it was helpful!
Great lesson!Thankyou! I am a just learning
Great teacher and great presentation.
Thank you kindly!
This has been my favorite tutorial. Thank you!
This as such an informative video, thank you so much for lending your expertise. I just purchased a Cricut Maker and a Easy Press 2 and I can't wait to get started.
Wonderful!
Thank you for this video. I just got my first Cricut Maker and Easy Press. I am having a blast. But after watching this video I now know why my transfer sheets did not work on the apron I was making. This was of great help.
Glad it helped!
Hi Angie! It’s Teresa (DCC board). I am heading to Michaels soon to pick up some of this ink and can’t wait to try it out myself. Loved the video.
I hope you love it! Message me if you have questions!
Hey I need help
Use material of at least 65% polyester content. The less poly content the more heathered it will look, but you need at least 65% for it to show well. Any shirt or product of high poly content that can be heat set will work. This is dye sublimation, period. Instead of dye sub ink printed onto coated paper to be transferred, you’re cutting preprinted paper or dye sub ink in marker form rather than dye sub ink in bottles to put into a bulk ink delivery system for a printer.
Thanks very much for making this video I just purchased some infusible ink and great video ❤️
Glad it was helpful!
This is an awesome video! I can’t wait to buy my infusible ink products and try them out! Thanks for a great tutorial!
Thanks for watching!
oh I love this. Just bought some products for my new Cricut coming next week, next purchase will be infusible ink and blanks lol thank you for sharing
Have fun!
I like how you explained it all, thank you very much! God Bless You!
Glad it was helpful!
You’re a doll, thank you
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! I watched several videos and have bought the infused vinyl BUT have not used it because I was not confident. I AM SO READY!🥰🥰🥰🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🥰🙏🏽🥰🥰🙏🏽🎉🎉🎁🎊🎊🎊
You can do this!
Just stocked up on infusible ink can't wait to learn how to use them! TY for the how to's!
Prepping for my first cricut project and this was so helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
Love your video Very thorough. Also love your craft room.
Thank you so much!
Excellent video,thank you👍🏻
AWESOME VIDEO!!! you explained it very well and can't wait to buy the new ink!!! Thank you. Im new to all of this and loving it❤
You are so welcome!
Thank you for such an informative tutorial. You did a great job confirming that I don't need to participate in this gimmick. The benefits of this do not outweigh the cost or the effort needed. I'll stick to HTV.
my thoughts exactly...
Im just new to cricut and i literally thought the same thing
I thought this was a rude response. She did a great job explaining the process. You don’t like it? Don’t do it.
Did you make the video of the shirt after being washed several times? If so what is the title? I can't find it.
I never did it as the shirt material looked horrible before any of the products did!
@@AngieHolden that's such a bummer! do you have a recommendation for a shirt that would do well with the infusible ink product but hold up better?
I love your shelving in your room.
Thanks!
Infusible products ARE available at Wal-Mart. Idk if they were not previously but they have been since I found out about infusible ink and that was a year ago. Saw it in Walmart on an end cap and had no idea why these t shirts and onsies were so special and what the ink was. Just a fyi bc although I like Michael's, a medium white woman's v neck t-shirt for infusible ink was almost $3 cheaper at Walmart.
At the time of the video, it was only at Michaels. The shirts have to be polyester but otherwise you can use any shirt.
Thank you! That's great to know because I REALLY enjoy having fun with these and the whole line of options
I tried this out today on a Gildan shirt that was 50/50 cotton and polyester and it worked just fine. I haven't washed it or anything yet but it seems to look promising haha
It will transfer the issue comes when washing. Let us know how it goes!
how did it turn out? have you washed it yet?
Thanks for your step by step instructions! You explain things very well. Love your videos!!!
It's so much work I am sticking to the old way
Nicely done.
Angie! I so enjoyed your video. Thank you for breaking things down into easy to understand and follow directions! I’m now subscribed to your channel. Looking forward to seeing what you come up with next!♥️ THANK YOU!
Thanks for subbing!
Late to the party, but so glad I found this video! Question: I saw a video where someone used multipurpose paper [for both laser and inkjet printers] and it looked like it came out great. Can multipurpose paper be used instead of purchasing laser printer-only paper? Many thanks!
Correct. That is what I am using. It just needs to say it is okay for laser printers or copiers on the package.
Infusible ink is EXACTLY sublimation - it impregnates dye into the material being printed using heat. The different Cricut products are for different "stages" of the process. With the pens, you make the design on the paper first, one color at a time, and then heat the paper to transfer the design to the material. The pattern sheets do the first part for you (putting the dye onto the paper) - you just need to cut out your design and heat-apply it to the material.
Your video is extremely helpful - thank you! Just did my first infusible ink project and it turned out great! You answered a lot of questions I had going in to it, so thanks for being so through with the info and process!
You are so welcome!
this was a great tutorial, so you can write with the pens on regular paper and it still transfers.. I didn't know that.. here i'm looking for special paper..LOL
Yep! That is correct!
Super helpful!
Glad it was helpful!
This was a good tutorial but the lighting was so bright it was off and hard to see the images. However it doesn't take away from this being VERY DETAILED AND INFORMATIVE TUTORIAL START TO FINISH.
It's still kinda like sublimation. I use sublimation and it requires a high percentage of polyester to transfer. I guess the Cricut process is a little less expensive because you don't have to purchase the Sawgrass printer and the very expensive inks that go along with the printer, and the special items that you have to use.
I think so as well Anita!
I love the way you say 'butcher paper'.
I can’t hide that southern accent!
Great video!
Glad you enjoyed it
Always nice listen to you
I appreciate that!
Hi Angie I like to know how to do stencils on this maker, do you have a video of stencilling?
Sure! Try this one: th-cam.com/video/FGh7HVPXUnU/w-d-xo.html
Great explanation on how the infusible ink works. Wish I could use my iron.
Thanks for watching!
I really enjoyed your great instructional video especially for me that's totally new to this. I have a question on the difference between using butcher paper and parchment paper. I bake and use parchment paper a lot
I will be following your other videos too. Thank you, Patti
ok got the answer. should have watched your video longer..lol.ty
Your videos have helped me so much since I started a month ago with my Cricut Maker. I think I am ready to give the Infusible Ink a try. My only question is can you use other blanks besides the Cricut ones.
You can use sublimation blanks or fabrics that are at least 65% polyester.
Yes it does work on store bought shirts they just have to have a high % of polyester... there are tips on Jennifer maker
Yes you are correct.
WAY less intimidating now that I’ve followed you through this, thank you
You can do it!
Thank you for answering a question that I had about butcher paper. I wasn’t sure if it was the same as parchment paper or freezer paper and now I know thank you. Also you said that you used laser copy paper for the infusible ink pen. Can you use plain printer paper?
The copy paper just needs to be able to withstand heat. My regular printer paper says on the back of the back that is is okay for laser printers and that is what I use.
Loved your instructions
Thanks so much 😊
She said it have to have a coating on the product. In all words get sublimation products and polyester shirts. I already tried it
You can also buy a Polycrylic spray to coat your textile, that works miracles!
Cindy
I’ve not done this yet but will soon. Cricut does sell the polyester shirts at a great price. Four dollars for adult and $3.20 for youth. Clearance sale I guess. Infusible ink also on sale. The bad part is to get free shipping you must spend $99.00.
Try using code PPCOWINTER for 10% off and free shipping over $50!
Thank you Angie Holden
very nice tutoriel video ! 😊
Thank you!
I have a cricut. Let me just say that I got it in may and I still havent even attempted to use it. You can now get the infusable ink at Joanne fabrics however I did not see anything to use it on. Also they have a whole isle dedicated to rolls of vinyl. Is that what it's for? To put vinyl on your shirts? That's not even cool or trendy
Heat transfer vinyl does go on shirts, yes.
I saw a demo where she did the easy press half and half, for each side.
Yep. This video is old but I did end up pressing twice and it worked!
I just all knew thing for cricket from Michael’s today I love it so far thanks for vid
Great video! I learned a lot with this. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful!
Love your video, it was very thorough.❤️
Glad it was helpful!
Yes you can use a regular cotton shirt sweater whatever it don’t have to be Infuse kind it works just fine on my tank tops as well as face mask so save some money n buy regular cotton shirts
Nothing too fancy
This product will wash right out of cotton shirts or anything else that doesn't have polyester. You don't have to buy Cricut shirts but they do need to be at least 75% polyester content.
@@AngieHolden mine are 100%Cotton🤷🏽♀️
Very informative video! Thank you
Glad it was helpful!
Is there a cricut for guys channel? I can't be the only guy who is interested in stuff that's not revolving around mermaids, ponies, and other things that would fall under mom/daughter projects.
Morgan Buck I’m in a group on FB that has tons of guys in it and some really cool manly projects, but I don’t know that they are doing how-to videos.
HA! More manly projects...noted!
Amazing video! I got infusible ink and cricut coasters for a birthday gift. Sadly, I've been too intimated to try it. I have a question, would it be okay to just use more butcher paper instead of the white cardstock? I'm worried about the cardstock burning up.Thanks for sharing!
Yep! I have done that before!
Do you have a video on how to use the pens, specifically the mirroring technique?
How to mirror the design to draw? You can follow this video: th-cam.com/video/CbSW4K-xeGs/w-d-xo.html&lc=UgyyH1OO159kPeITF6F4AaABAg
first of all, let me thank you for your well-explained videos. I've watched A LOT of vids recently trying to figure vinyl/ htv and infusible ink out and yours are very watchable. My question is this- can I layer HTV on top of infusible ink? I want to make / draw an icon onto a canvas tote w the ink and add a name over the icon in HTV. Is that possible? Ty
I have done it. You do run the risk of the Infusible Ink fading once heated a second time. Usually with HTV it does not. Be sure to use protective paper though as you might get ink on your press.
I like that the tote designs were on one tote bag lol. Nice video though, I keep seeing invisible ink ads but lno description of what it is/capable of. It’s really neat. Hopefully some companies will put out cheaper products of it all because as others have said, you can spend a lot more making a shirt than just buying one.
I wanted to demo two totes but didn't want to buy two! A girl has to do what a girl has to do!
I want to put a design on a 4x4 canvas bag. I was going to use a mini press but what should I do to prevent the ink from going to the back. Will putting butcher paper on the inside resolve that?
I would put a piece of white cardstock on the inside.
Would this infusible ink work on album covers like Creative memories covers?
Gosh I am not sure. Would you know what material they are made from?
Thank you so much Angie! I look forward in making my things as well!!!!
I have a question regarding where you moved the "waves"...if you didn't get it exactly right when placing it on the infusible ink transfer, can you move it again, or is it just "stuck" at that point (as in...be careful when placing...LOL)
You can move it around before pressing.
My cricut is cutting all the way through (only some places tho) the infusible ink sheets on default cut. Why is that? Thanks Angie in advance and for the video.
Infusible Ink can be tough. Each color is slightly different in thickness because of the way they apply the ink. This can lead to cuts that don't go all the way through and cuts that cut all the way through the backing. I would recommend doing a test cut.
Amazing tutorial!
I like what I see here for card making however, my cricrit is an older version. I don't have internet connection so, can i still make cards like these & how
Thanks
Karon
I am not sure! I don't have any experience with those older machines.
Can I use a regular household iron to transfer so I don't have to purchase the easy press?
I am not sure it will work. I am planning on doing some experiments and posting a video soon on that.
New to Cricut, love your videos. Bought it to make stained glass patterns, but see endless possibilities. Regarding infusible ink. I've been asked to make a couple of T-shirts for a breast cancer golf outing auction. I've got the design I want. My question is: I have an older dry mount (heat) press with an analog temperature setting, going only to 350 degrees. The infusible ink videos I've seen use 400 degrees. Can I use infusible ink at a lower setting for a longer period of time? If so is there a magic number or way to determine how long (say at 350 degrees)? Thanks for any help!
You really need 400 degrees for Infusible Ink.
Why did u put the butcher paper first and then card stock on top when you did the coaster? And the card stock first and the butcher paper on top when you did it on fabric?
There are instructions for each surface on the Cricut website and I was following those.
I have a Cricut air. Is it possible to cut the infusible ink sheet with this machine. Mainly letters that need the middles kept in.
Yes.
Polyster/cotton blend shirts work. Polyester needs to be higher than 90% though
Definitely!
