FAQs

\n

\n

\n

\n

\n

Heat transfer vinyl, or HTV, is a type of vinyl material that is used to create designs or graphics on fabrics. The vinyl is cut into the desired design using a vinyl cutter. Then the excess vinyl that is not part of the design is removed, or “weeded” away, and finally the vinyl is applied to the fabric using a heat press. The heat and pressure cause the vinyl to adhere to the fabric, creating a permanent and durable design

\n

Heat transfer vinyl comes in various colors, finishes, and textures, such as matte, glossy, metallic, glitter, and more and allows for intricate designs and vibrant colors. It is a popular choice for creating custom designs on t-shirts, hats, bags, team uniforms, personalized gifts and promotional products.

\n

\n

\n

\n

\n

Yes, the term Iron-on vinyl refers to heat transfer vinyl, often shortened to HTV. The phrase Iron-on is often used in the crafter and hobby community as this material can technically be applied with an iron instead of a heat press as a way to get started using HTV – however there can be downsides to using irons rather than a heat press designed for this application. It is often difficult to apply enough, consistent pressure, or high enough temp which can result in adhesion issues, and for best results we recommend a traditional heat press.

\n

\n

\n

\n

\n

Craft vinyl, adhesive vinyl or permanent vinyl generally refer to “sticker” vinyl with an adhesive backing. While the process of creating designs and cutting the vinyl is similar, craft adhesive vinyl is intended to be directly applied to materials like a sticker decal, without applying heat.

\n

Heat Transfer Vinyl does not have an adhesive backing, and heat is required to apply the material. HTV is also mostly geared towards application on fabric and garments, where craft vinyl is often used for hard surfaces for decorative purposes.

\n

\n

\n

\n

\n

Printable vinyl is a printable HTV that either you can receive with already printed designs, ready to be pressed, or as the blank materials to be printed on with specialized printers and Ink. The printable vinyl we sell is typically used and designed for high end commercial printers, and not for consumer inkjet printers.

\n

For standard desktop laser or inkjet printers, you can use Heat Transfer Paper, which can be good for one-off quick projects or hobby craft projects.

\n

If you are looking for printable HTV, check out our selection of ready to press patterns, or our custom transfers and print on demand service.

\n

HTV can technically be applied with an iron instead of a heat press as a way to get started using HTV – however there are downsides to using irons rather than a heat press designed for this application. It is often difficult to apply enough, consistent pressure, or high enough temp which can result in adhesion issues.

\n

\n

\n

\n

\n

Yes, it is possible to remove HTV from a shirt using HTV Vinyl Remover. To do so, turn the garment inside-out, apply the remover to the backside where the vinyl is adhered, and let it soak through. Flip the garment back to normal, and stretch the garment in 4 directions which should begin to loosen the material. You should not be able to peel off the vinyl.

\n

\n

\n

\n

\n

Yes, each material has a recommended temperature, time needed for the press, level of pressure, and whether it should be peeled hot or cold.

\n

See the application instructions on our product pages, or view our HTV temp and time guide.

\n

\n

\n

\n

\n

If your vinyl is peeling, it can be from not enough time/heat/pressure, too much heat, or if the vinyl was applied to a seam or uneven area.

\n

Too high of a temp or too long of an application can overheat adhesive and cause adhesion issues, and too much pressure can squeeze out adhesive making it less effective. Any seam or unevenness can also cause the possibility of the material not laying flat and having a gap underneath the vinyl. An uneven area can also include if the shirt is not laid even on your heat press, where material could be bunched underneath.

\n

\n

\n

\n

\n

For the most part, HTV properly applied with a heat press will outlive the length of the shirt. The key here is to make sure you are using the correct amount of pressure and heat and following the appropriate instructions for the material. Often where there are peeling or other life issues, it is a result of applying the material incorrectly with too little pressure or too much heat. This can be a common result of using a handheld heat press or iron, rather than traditional heat press and why we recommend investing in a quality heat press.

\n

\n

\n

\n

\n

Everything vinyl and garment will have a little bit of stretch to them and does not mean you require a stretch HTV. Most shirts will stretch about 10-20%, and most vinyl will have some stretch and work perfectly fine for these types of garments. Stretch is more often suited towards highly stretchy materials with lots of rebound, such as stretchy athletic shorts, yoga tights and pants, and compression shirts. However you can definitely still use stretch htv on most regular standard garments if you prefer and don't want to worry about it.

\n

One recommendation if you are applying HTV to a stretchy garment like the above is to consider applying the design with a little bit of stretch to match the state the garment will be in when worn to avoid the design being deformed. Otherwise, if you apply a design in a non-stretched state, and when worn is always stretched as in the case of yoga pants, your design may look deformed and stretched out.

\n

\n

\n

\n

\n

If you don’t have a vinyl cutter, you can technically use a scissors or hobby/exacto knife to attempt to manually cut a design if you are able to draw or cut a design directly onto the vinyl, however using a vinyl cutter designed for cutting digital designs is highly recommended. The process of trying to hand cut an HTV design is tedious, prone to error or unclean cuts, and not feasible for many types of designs.

\n

\n

\n

\n

\n

Yes, the clear backing is your carrier that is used to help feed the material through your cutter, and you always want the carrier side down so your vinyl surface is on top and the cutter is cutting through the HTV surface and not the carrier backing. This keeps the design together upon cutting.

\n

We always recommend doing a test cut to ensure you're not cutting through the carrier material and are comfortable with the process before cutting multiple quantities or a large design.

\n

\n

\n

\n

\n

Parchment paper or non-stick sheet will not hurt, however you often do not need parchment with the carrier sheet backing on your HTV if this is intact and fully covers your design.

\n

If you are doing multiple layers, be aware that it can cause your vinyl to have an unnecessary shine that you may not like, due to the glossy side sometimes imparting on the vinyl through multiple presses. If you would like a protective layer between your heat press or are worried about it, you can also always purchase a teflon cover for your heat press.

\n

\n

\n

\n

\n

Yes, you can definitely layer HTV designs. There are a few things to be aware of that we’ve listed below, but if you want more information on layering please see our layering htv guide.

\n

A few big things to be aware of are compatible materials, considerations for Inlay vs layering, and application.

\n

    \n
  • First, you should make sure the HTV you are using are compatible with each other and can be layered. Some materials like glitter can’t be layered on top of, but can be the final, top layer on other materials. As a rule of thumb, we don’t recommend layering HTV with textured vinyl. If a vinyl is not layerable, you can try an inlay method instead, laying vinyl next to each other rather than on top.
  • \n
  • For application, as always when layering, you will want to use a quick tack method of 1-2 seconds at normal heat for each layer as you build up, then press the final layer for the full time and temp. This prevents overheating across applying multiple layers, as well as shrinking. Every layer can shrink over the design, so pressing for full time may not just impact adhesion, but potentially cause shrinking and deformation of the design.
  • \n
  • Also consider thickness, we generally recommend not layering more then 3-4 layers as the thickness will begin to build up, and you may not prefer that final result. For high multi-color or high layer designs, inlay is usually your preferred method.
  • \n

\n

See our layering/inlay guide for more details and a project walkthrough.

How do you thread my embroidery machine ?

\n

Threading an embroidery machine can seem intimidating at first, but with a little practice, it becomes easier. Here's a basic guide to threading an embroidery machine:

\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Start by turning off your embroidery machine and raising the presser foot.

    \n
  2. \n
  3. \n

    Locate the spool holder and place your embroidery thread spool on it. Some embroidery machines have a separate spool holder for larger spools.

    \n
  4. \n
  5. \n

    Pull the thread through the thread guide(s) on your machine. These may be located on the top, sides, or front of the machine.

    \n
  6. \n
  7. \n

    Take the thread down to the tension discs, passing it between them. These discs will help regulate the amount of tension on the thread as it is being used.

    \n
  8. \n
  9. \n

    Pass the thread through the take-up lever, which is a small hook or lever located near the upper thread guide.

    \n
  10. \n
  11. \n

    Thread the needle from front to back, pulling the thread through the needle.

    \n
  12. \n
  13. \n

    Pull the thread towards the back of the machine and under the presser foot.

    \n
  14. \n
  15. \n

    Lower the presser foot and turn on your embroidery machine.

    \n
  16. \n
  17. \n

    Follow the instructions in your embroidery machine manual to select your design, thread colors, and other settings.

    \n
  18. \n

\n

Once you've threaded your embroidery machine a few times, you'll become more comfortable with the process. Remember to always follow the instructions in your machine manual to ensure you are threading your specific machine correctly.

\n

How to thread a needle for embroidery ?

\n

Threading a needle for embroidery can be a bit tricky, but with a little practice, you can do it easily. Here are the steps to follow to thread a needle for embroidery:

\n

    \n
  1. \n

    Cut a length of embroidery thread. The length will depend on your project, but it's generally recommended to use a length of thread no longer than 18 inches to prevent tangling.

    \n
  2. \n
  3. \n

    Hold the end of the thread between your thumb and forefinger and wet it slightly with saliva or a damp cloth. This will help the thread glide through the eye of the needle.

    \n
  4. \n
  5. \n

    Take the needle in your other hand and hold it with the eye facing up.

    \n
  6. \n
  7. \n

    With your other hand, bring the end of the thread close to the eye of the needle.

    \n
  8. \n
  9. \n

    Gently push the end of the thread through the eye of the needle. You can also try using a needle threader, which is a small tool that helps you thread the needle.

    \n
  10. \n
  11. \n

    Once the thread is through the eye of the needle, pull it through until you have an equal length of thread on either side of the needle.

    \n
  12. \n
  13. \n

    Tie a knot at the end of the thread, leaving a tail of about 1 inch.

    \n
  14. \n

\n

Your needle is now threaded and ready to use for embroidery! Remember to use the appropriate size needle and thread for your project, and to practice different embroidery stitches to achieve various effects.

\n

    You should always check the application instructions on the product page of the exact stones you purchased but the typical temperature range is 300f to 355f.

    \n

    How to make a rhinestone template ?

    \n

    What will you need?

    \n

      \n
    • Rhinestone software
    • \n
    • Vinyl Cutters
    • \n
    • Heat Presses
    • \n
    • Hot fix rhinestones
    • \n
    • Flock (big enough for your design - we used Template Flock)
    • \n
    • KTM (rhinestone transfer) masks
    • \n
    • Rhinestone template board
    • \n
    • Rhinestone brush
    • \n
    • Tweezers
    • \n
    • Squeegee
    • \n

    \n

    1) Load your flock in the cutter (texture side face up).

    \n

    2) Export your rhinestone design to your preferred cutting software and send it to your cutter. Normally, template flock is cut at a heavier pressure and is recommended to use a 60 degree blade.

    \n

    3) Peel the flock from its liner. This will reveal the holes that you have cut in your cutter, which will act as your stone placements. You may need to hand remove and left over dots that did not peel up.

    \n

    4) Place the flock (sticky side down) on your template board.

    \n

    5) Pour rhinestones on your board and gently brush the rhinestones across your design using a rhinestone brush. Do this until they each have a spot in one of the stone placement holes in your flock. Often, many of the rhinestones will fall into the holes the proper way. However, some stones will likely fall upside down, or may be too stubborn to even fall into a hole. In that case, tweezers may be needed to properly place some rhinestones in their place.

    \n

    6) Now that your stones are in place, grab your KTM (rhinestone transfer) mask and peel it off its liner. Place it (carefully!) on top of the rhinestone design.

    \n

    7) Apply medium to firm pressure across the entire design to ensure that the rhinestones stick to the KTM mask. For smaller designs, you can use your hand; however, for larger designs we recommend using a squeegee.

    \n

    8) Peel the rhinestone KTM mask away from the flock in a smooth motion. If you find that not all rhinestones are sticking to the KTM mask, simply lay the mask back down and apply more pressure in that area.

    \n

    9) Now that your rhinestone design is on the KTM mask, if you aren’t ready to press your design, place the design back on the liner of the KTM mask and save until you’re ready to press. You may notice that the fibres from the template flock are sticking to the KTM mask. No worries, these fibres will not stick to your garment when pressing! If you are ready to press, go to the next step.

    \n

    10) Place your design on your garment and press at 325°F degrees for 15 seconds, peel cold. It is very important to peel the design after it has completely cooled down.

    What is Sublimation?

    \n

    Sublimation printing is an advanced digital printing technique that utilizes specially formulated heat-sensitive inks to transfer stunning designs onto an array of materials. This innovative process involves the conversion of ink particles directly into gas by applying heat, which permeates the polymer coating or fibers of the substrate and solidifies into the material. The result is a breathtakingly vivid, sharp, and long-lasting print that seamlessly integrates into the fabric. Thanks to its incredible ability to replicate intricate and full-color designs with exceptional accuracy, sublimation printing is a highly sought-after method for creating customized apparel, promotional items, and one-of-a-kind gifts.

    \n

    Sublimation Tools

    \n

    Heat Transfer Warehouse offers a wide selection of premium printers, such as the Sawgrass SG1000 Sublimation Printer. Pair this printer with sublimation paper from WALASub and excellent sublimation ink, like our Siser EasySubli Ink, to bring your designs to life. We also offer a variety of blanks ranging from t-shirts to hard blanks like our Steel Skinny 20 oz Tumbler With Straw.

    \n

    Dye sublimation printing offers the ability to create beautiful, full-color prints that will not only last but will wow anyone who sees them. If you want more information on the dye printing, check out our youtube playlist for more in-depth knowledge.

    FAQs

    \n

    \n

    \n

    \n

    \n

    Sublimation is a printing method that utilizes heat to imprint a design onto fabric or other materials. The design is printed onto specialized paper using sublimation ink and then placed onto a blank material. Upon application of heat, the ink transforms into gas and firmly bonds with the material's surface, resulting in a permanent and high-quality print that is robust and long-lasting.

    \n

    \n

    \n

    \n

    \n

    Sublimation, unlike heat transfer vinyls, uses heat to turn sublimation ink into a gas which is able to permeate the \"pores\" of the material you are printing on. This results in the design and the material becoming a cohesive item. Sublimation printing allows for permanent designs, similar to a tattoo, where as heat transfer vinyl will still be sitting on the surface of the garment or blank.

    \n

    \n

    \n

    \n

    \n

    Sublimation allows you to print any designs permanently in any color you want. Unlike vinyl printing, sublimation is not limited to the brand of vinyl you purchase which gives you the ability to print any design in any color combination you want.

    \n

    \n

    \n

    \n

    \n

    Sublimation works best with clothing garments made from polyester or hard surface polymer-coated items. These would be products such as coffee mugs, t-shirts, mouse pads, and more.

    \n

    \n

    \n

    \n

    \n

    Fabrics that are already colored are not great candidates for sublimation as the material already has color. If you want to create custom clothing that is dark, we recommend using heat transfer vinyls.

    If you are a beginner or hobbyist, we recommend a printer from Sawgrass . If you are looking to create large batch order, Epson printers are a great option.

    \n

    \n

    Sublimation printing is a great option if you want your designs to last a long time. Since sublimation printing uses heat to transfer dye into the fabric or surface, it creates a bond making the design seem to be a part of the fabric or surface. It wouldn't be surprising to see it last for 10 years or longer without fading.

    \n

    \n

    \n

    \n

    \n

    The transfer is moving while heated and transferring dye. Either you are pressing, moving, then pressing again, or you are peeling while hot and then laying the hot paper back down.

    If your images are coming out blurry, it is likely a printer problem. I would first recommend making sure you have a high res / good quality image. Then double check that your printer nozzles / heads are clean.

    History of Kente Cloth

    Kente cloth has a rich history that dates back over 400 years to the Ashanti kingdom of what is now modern-day Ghana. According to legend, Kente cloth was created by two brothers, Kurugu and Ameyaw, who were hunting in the forest and came across a spider weaving a web. They were inspired by the spider's intricate weaving and decided to create their own cloth using a similar technique.
    The first Kente cloths were made from silk and reserved exclusively for royalty and nobility. The cloths were considered a symbol of wealth, status, and prestige, and were often used to dress kings and queen mothers during important ceremonies and festivals.
    Over time, the production of Kente cloth became more widespread, and the cloth became an important part of Ashanti culture. Each Kente design was given a name, and the patterns and colors were often associated with specific meanings or messages. For example, the Adweneasa pattern, which features interlocking rectangles, represents the importance of teamwork and cooperation, while the Nkyinkyim pattern, which features twisted ribbons, represents the idea of adaptability and flexibility.
    During the colonial period, Kente cloth began to be exported to other parts of the world, and it became a symbol of African identity and resistance to colonialism. In the 1960s and 1970s, Kente cloth became popular among African Americans as a symbol of their cultural heritage and pride.
    Today, Kente cloth is still an important part of Ashanti culture, and is often worn during weddings, funerals, and other important ceremonies. It is also used in contemporary fashion and design, with designers incorporating the vibrant colors and bold patterns into their creations.
