Fabulous job !!! I'm still in my early stages of working with one color when heat pressing . Actually I'm a bit scared to move forward to work with a second color for a project . I do appreciate this video and will continue to view all steps as a reference . Thank You .
Such a great video. I love the way you layered your vinyl, especially on the last one. I am just starting to get into heat pressing and I'm so glad I found your channel. I need all the help I can get. I LOVE your heat press too. I'm jealous!
I just found your videos. I appreciate the ease of explaining that you do. Sometimes people make the videos harder to understand than the actual job. Thanks!
I am in awe right now! Thank you for your videos. I just found you today. I would like to know how to do this from the beginning as in how to make the original template of layering the design upon creation. I will search for a video on that.
Glad that I ran across your tutorial. Very informative, since I'm in the process of starting my own business at home. Next time I go up to Beaumnt will try and visit your shop. Thanks
In a previous video, to find the center, you matched the first letter and last letter while bending the design. Doesn't look like you did that in this video, for the 1st shirt, when finding the center. Wondering what you used and why?
Love, love, love the video and design. I'm not sure what I love more tho. The great video, or the anticipation of hearing the word "SO" being said so many times.
I'm having issues with my top layers peeling after about 10 washes, what am I doing wrong? My layers aren't glitter layers nor are they being layered on glitter
I so enjoy your videos! I know you have to wait 24 hours until you can wash the garment, but do you recommend to always turn the shirts wrong side out when washing in order to protect the vinyl?
So... I just got a new cricut. I had the expression and now I have the maker! Your video's are great. Thank you for all the tips. This mask is amazing. Do you have a video that shows how to outline letters and images?
when she did the tie - did she use regular vinyl thus having to use the clear plastic from another piece or did she use a brand that does not come with the clear protective piece to peel off once you apply it?
I noticed on the site there are several sizes for the alignment ruler. Are they for different sizes because of size shirts,,ie childrens, misses..etc ?
How do you know the designs are straight? I know you use a ruler at the top, but that doesn't seem very precise. Is this a thing that you just get good at doing the more often you do it?
I purchased the Mardi Gras SVG from your store and the file is too big on Cricut Design Space. I tried to reduce the size and the change the X and Y axis to 0 and it had lines all through it. Please advise! Thank you!
How do you get the image to cut just like the design shows up? I've tried on my cricut and I don't know if I need to set it a certain way, but it moves all of the images to the top and to the left to save your HTV. But when doing multi colored designs, I want it to cut it as the design is set up. Can you help me please? Thanks in advance.
On Design Space select all pieces of the same color and weld them. Do this for each color. Your Cricut will then cut them exactly where they appear on your design. This method can waste some vinyl but it keeps everything lined up
Hi, I've done some htv layering shirts but I keep getting transfer tape lines showing on the first vinyl I put down. Does that make any sense? I heat press the first layer, then do the next and when I lift the second one I see the lines from that transfer tape..I don't know what I'm doing wrong..help anyone??
Grisel Gallardo I had this issue to. It's best to tack the second layer for a couple seconds just until you can peel the carrier sheet away then cover with a teflon sheet and press the entire design. The final press seems to remove the lines.
This is a stupid question... but...Can you use the HTV that you weed off? Was just wondering as sometimes I feel waste a lot. Can I re stick it to the carrier sheet and use it???TIA
Vicki P You could use a weeding box (just add a shape around your design in your software before you cut) or cut around your design with scissors after your machine cuts the design. That's what I do to save vinyl. The smaller scraps are enough to use on shirts for my kids.
My problem with layering vinyl is that the under layers get all wrinkly. Does this happen to anyone else? How do I prevent that from happening in the future?
Help!!! I'm so confused. Can someone help me how many seconds are you supposed to press total? How many times. I was worried to over press, is that not something to worry about. If you are layering one color on top of the other...you just tack down the first layer, 5 seconds? Then the second layer the full time, 15 seconds. Then a 3rd press for the full 15 seconds, after you peel the last backing off? For designs where you have two colors but they don't overlap/layer... you press each color for the full 15 seconds? So in a shirt with 2 colors. First color 15 seconds, 2nd color 15 seconds, then peel off clear sheet and press for another 15 seconds. Is that correct? Does this change if you have 3 or 4 different colors? Does using 100% cotton change anything. Thank you for anyone who can explain this to me. To the creator of this video I appreciate so much you sharing this. I think the video was great I just don't want to make a mistake because I got confused, you weren't the cause of my confusion, I just have heard different things elsewhere and want to make sure I'm not misunderstanding what you are saying.
SS70Chevelle24 , so so funny. When my boss talks he used to say "and yeah" at the end of his sentence it use to drive me crazy and yeah. Lol. And I'm like , and yeah what😱
Cuttin Corners Vinyl Nederland, Tx what size should you get? It's doesn't really say anything about the different sizes....should I get a 9" for small toddler shirts and a different size for adult shirts or will one size work for all size shirts...???
Denise Cashner I would maybe cut a square of cardboard in 16" or whatever you choose and use that as a guild with this. Then once you have it in place, put your shirt on whatever surface you use with your iron.
megan cordier I know HTV does but she used an old carrier on the printed HTV....my question was does the PRINTED HTV cork with a carrier? If so what was the purpose of not using it in the video?
You have to mask it. Usually when you buy printed vinyl, they include a sheet of mask. Or you can save the carrier from a previously pressed design. You have to use it like transfer tape on a decal.
It looks like teflon to me. LOL. I worked at a place where we did screen printing and tackle twill and it looks like some we had! lol...guess they're that old too.
Fabulous job !!!

I must say that you are the most helpful and informative person I've ran into since beginning my journey with HTV. Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Love the Mardi Gras one!! And I didn't know the vinyl would shrink a bit if presses too long.
Hey I would love to see how you made or where you got your vinyl holder. Thank you!
Great video, but all the “so’s” drove me a bit nutty 😂
I love how you showed how to layer it in pieces then heat presser it. But how do you print it?
LOVE THIS TUTORIAL! THE MARDI GRAS MASK IS SO... PRETTY! THANKS
Glad that I ran across your tutorial. Very informative, since I'm in the process of starting my own business at home. Next time I go up to Beaumnt will try and visit your shop. Thanks

So.....what is the name of your press machine
Love, love, love the video and design. I'm not sure what I love more tho. The great video, or the anticipation of hearing the word "SO" being said so many times.

Your videos are awesome you really are so clear. What is the wedding tool do you use?
when she did the tie - did she use regular vinyl thus having to use the clear plastic from another piece or did she use a brand that does not come with the clear protective piece to peel off once you apply it?
Love your videos! Very helpful. I'm looking in the background of the video, where did you get your rack to hold your vinyl in?
How can we purchase T-shirt guide? I NEEEED that!!
You amaze Me the tie came Perfectly
Straight u make it look so easy 👍
So helpful, I’m new to Cricut so learning about HTV is so helpful...so. Hahaha sorry couldn’t resist. In all seriousness this is very very helpful.
I noticed on the site there are several sizes for the alignment ruler. Are they for different sizes because of size shirts,,ie childrens, misses..etc ?
Anytime IS a great time for glitter!! Awesome work!!
Siser recommends only tacking it when layering instead of pressing it for so long so many times. Do you find anything peels from overheating it ?
Not for me and I’ve made thousands of shirts
Cuttin Corners Vinyl awesome thanks for the response love your channel
Where can I get one of the measuring board things you use to like up your vinyl??
Love your videos! Very creative.. Where did you get your vinyl storage at?
Can you make a video step by step doing multi colors in the cameo 3
Where are you getting those raglans? Love the fit and texture of them.
When laying on top do you have a problem with it peeling later??
You make it look so easy! TFS! Your shirts are BEAUTIFUL!
FABULOUS- explanation- not everyone has this talent! Thank you--
Would you please give us a list of your favorite brands of T-shirts, Raglan's etc? Thanks
How do you know the designs are straight? I know you use a ruler at the top, but that doesn't seem very precise. Is this a thing that you just get good at doing the more often you do it?
Since the backing is sticky and you is th the straight line on the plastic liner it’s very hard to get it twisted.
@@CuttinCornersVinyl Thank you! I'm pretty sure I could figure out how to mess it up. ;) I'm perusing your site as I type this!
How do you separate the different designs to cut out the different colors.
I have videos on using the software
On your website there are several sizes for the alignment ruler. Are they for different sizes because of size shirts,,IE children, misses..etc
No it’s for different size heat presses
What was that little thing that you pulled off that said center, right, left with all the arrows??
It’s our T-shirt guide we sell them on our website www.cuttincornersvinyl.com
I want to come to meet you so much! Thank you for your videos!!! I love how detailed you are and how helpful you are!

Also , can u use glass and thermal mugs stainless steel
I purchased the Mardi Gras SVG from your store and the file is too big on Cricut Design Space. I tried to reduce the size and the change the X and Y axis to 0 and it had lines all through it. Please advise! Thank you!
send me and email and I can resend the file.
Thank you! Email is sent!

@@CuttinCornersVinyl thank you .
How do you get the image to cut just like the design shows up?

Grisel Gallardo I had this issue to. It's best to tack the second layer for a couple seconds just until you can peel the carrier sheet away then cover with a teflon sheet and press the entire design. The final press seems to remove the lines.
I have found that a final press with a cover sheet over the entire design with all the tapes removed will make those lines vanish.
Thank you for this tip!!!
How do you determine which size ruler to purchase?
I enjoy these instructional videos-thank you. It is difficult to overlook all the “so’s”. I try not to focus on them.
This one is old they have gotten better.
what is it that you are using to measure where to place the black layer at the beginning of the video.
Its our t-shirt guide its on our website www.cuttincornersninyl.com
Thanks so you recommend a specific vinyl cutter? Cameo 2 or 3 or another brand?
This is a stupid question... but...Can you use the HTV that you weed off? Was just wondering as sometimes I feel waste a lot. Can I re stick it to the carrier sheet and use it???TIA
I haven't tried it , but it could work.
Thank you!!!
Vicki P You could use a weeding box (just add a shape around your design in your software before you cut) or cut around your design with scissors after your machine cuts the design. That's what I do to save vinyl. The smaller scraps are enough to use on shirts for my kids.
Hi Betsy, I know this is gonna sound stupid, but how do you reverse your words before cutting them out? Thanks!!
you mirror it.
Have you tested this much layering with washing? If so, how many washings? I have heard that the upper layers peel off and don't last.
fls mw yes when it's applied properly this will last forever.
Thank you so much. I feel confident now since this is your profession and you appear extremely professional.
Also, if you're washing your clothes inside out, this helps protect the image & don't use harsh detergents
What brand is your heat pressure?
My problem with layering vinyl is that the under layers get all wrinkly. Does this happen to anyone else? How do I prevent that from happening in the future?
What are you talking about slicing?
where did you get the tool to center it
How do you avoid the shiny appearance on the tees after heat pressing? I use a teflon sheet. I hate that shine.
Thank you
I would have liked to see how you actually created the design & separated the colors when cutting the vinyl
Would like to see how you sliced the design
Curious: Where can I buy one of those covers for the top part of the heat press? Please and thank you
I just bought one today :) www.stahls.com/heat-press-upper-platen-cover
I actually found it and already got one. Thank you much for replying. Sorry, I should have came back to update my comment
No problem. I happened to see your comment and didn't see anyone reply so I thought I'd share just in case :)
awe thank you I appreciate that :)

Where can I get the guide you use to center your vinyl?
www.cuttincornersvinyl.com/product-p/alignment-ruler.htm
Help!!! I'm so confused. Can someone help me how many seconds are you supposed to press total? How many times. I was worried to over press, is that not something to worry about. If you are layering one color on top of the other...you just tack down the first layer, 5 seconds? Then the second layer the full time, 15 seconds. Then a 3rd press for the full 15 seconds, after you peel the last backing off?
For designs where you have two colors but they don't overlap/layer... you press each color for the full 15 seconds? So in a shirt with 2 colors. First color 15 seconds, 2nd color 15 seconds, then peel off clear sheet and press for another 15 seconds. Is that correct? Does this change if you have 3 or 4 different colors? Does using 100% cotton change anything.
Thank you for anyone who can explain this to me. To the creator of this video I appreciate so much you sharing this. I think the video was great I just don't want to make a mistake because I got confused, you weren't the cause of my confusion, I just have heard different things elsewhere and want to make sure I'm not misunderstanding what you are saying.
This is a really cute design. Thanks for charging your tips.
where can i find a guide for shirts to locate the center.

When making several different layers how do you know you have the proper measurements for each layer?
Design it layered on top on each other for sizing. When you have it sized right separate your layers.
I purchased your Mardi Gras one and I love it
what us the machine next to your heat press? Is it a DTG machine?
CARLA EVANS that's the pretreat for my drg
Do you have a file for the shirt you're wearing?
Thanks for showing us how to do this!
What type of shirts do you recommend for htv
Can do a tutorial on a picture from google and how to make it a 3 color htv T-shirt
What type of machine do you use to cut your vinyl?
I use my cricut explore air 2
Thanks so much for this tutorial!!! Life saver! And you are crushing it girl! So impressive!
So!
So....
So,So, So!!! : )
I thank it's awesome I'm looking for a new vinyl source the one I use they to far and if need I can come to your shop I live in tx near Dallas.
Cuttin Corners Vinyl Nederland, Tx the nostril-whistles were a glorious bonus!
SS70Chevelle24 , so so funny. When my boss talks he used to say "and yeah" at the end of his sentence it use to drive me crazy and yeah. Lol. And I'm like , and yeah what😱
Where do you buy the t-shirt guide
It’s on our website www.cuttincornersvinyl.com
Do you have classes I live in Beaumont
Do you sell the Tee Square measuring tool?
no ma'am just the one we created.
Where do you get the tool that centers it?
Keisha Smith it's on our website www.cuttincornersvinyl.com
Cuttin Corners Vinyl Nederland, Tx what size should you get? It's doesn't really say anything about the different sizes....should I get a 9" for small toddler shirts and a different size for adult shirts or will one size work for all size shirts...???
The difference in sizes relates to the size of your heat press. If you have a 16" heat press get that size ruler.
Covae Covae ahhhhh..thanks! Makes sense lol well, what would you get if you just use an iron?
Denise Cashner I would maybe cut a square of cardboard in 16" or whatever you choose and use that as a guild with this. Then once you have it in place, put your shirt on whatever surface you use with your iron.
Does the printed HTV not have it's own carrier sheet?
Ashley Gregersen HTV typically has a carrier sheet yes
megan cordier I know HTV does but she used an old carrier on the printed HTV....my question was does the PRINTED HTV cork with a carrier? If so what was the purpose of not using it in the video?
Ashley Gregersen this is not a printed design
I think she was talking about the houndstooth printed that you use as the tie on the kid's shirt. I was curious myself.
You have to mask it. Usually when you buy printed vinyl, they include a sheet of mask. Or you can save the carrier from a previously pressed design. You have to use it like transfer tape on a decal.
I really enjoy your videos.
how much do you charge for this type of project (the mardigras tshirt) $25?
25-30
Thanks for making vinyl cheaper!!! & always taking time to inform
God Bless
The thing about vinyl is... anyone can do it but the best imagination wins
What did you use in the video to protect your vinyl as you heat? It does not look like Teflon or parchment.
its Teflon its old. Ive had that one for 12 years
Wow that's a long time!
It looks like teflon to me. LOL. I worked at a place where we did screen printing and tackle twill and it looks like some we had! lol...guess they're that old too.
Love the Mardi Gras shirt
