I have a Sawgrass and had the same issue trying to use a Cricut heat press to sublimate with it. I tried ordering a swing away heat press but it was a fire hazard waiting to happen and I returned it. I then ordered the rubber replacement mat for the press so I had a firmer base to heat press on and that worked! Definitely still need a wider press for bigger projects but I need more ink before I can sublimate anything else. That trial and error process certainly eats up the ink faster than you plan on!
Great video Alison! Whenever I'm pressing something that has a "middle" (pillow case, bag, etc) I like to put a piece of butcher paper (aka "blowout paper") to catch any ink that might go through the subbing surface. For things like the pot holder or coin purses, I like to put a Teflon sheet or pillow in the middle, to (1) keep the layers from melting into each other, and (2) help flatten the subbing surface.
Thank you Alison for sharing such great ideas. I'm going to be looking into the bottle opener. What a great stocking stuffer. Hoping to get a heat press soon.
I haven't tried sublimation yet, not sure if I want to take the money dive yet. 🤔 The fact that you went from no mascara to mascara and back again in your video kind of cracked me up though!!! Lol 😉🙂
Saving for later! I haven’t gotten into sublimation but it’s definitely something I’d like to try and these projects seem like easy starters.
I love doing sublimation. This was fun to watch!
Love the fact that you shared the struggle. Thanks for being awesome

whattt a fun day job! It's definitely an investment!!!!
Looking into giving sublimation a try.
When I got into sublimation i didn’t realize the amount of creativity for designing it would take. That’s what I struggle with.
Thank you for another amazing video and great ideas! Question, what was the machine you had going in the background with your heat press lol
I was wondering the same thing!!! :)
That's my 3D printer 😊
