With respect !!! mamaligadoc December 28, 2020 Then when I made a shirt after it melted into the shirt. Help a piece of regular vinyl was stuck on the back edge of my heat press and it melted. Do I need to use a new piece of vinyl and will it stick as there is an outline of residue left on the fabric. I tried again to press on the same vinyl and it didn’t work the second time. It was still on the vinyl and left an impression on the apron. Hi, I tried to apply my vinyl to an apron with the cricut heat press but it didn’t stick. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU!! Michele L. Oh my goodness! Thank you for the help! Tried the iron hack for a piece I forgot to weed before heat pressing & it worked!! Saved having to replace the whole shirt for a do-over. You can totally fix it with a little know how. I hope you never have to use these techniques, but if you do, know that I’ve been there before too! We ALL make mistakes from time to time. It will help you get off any adhesive left behind. HTV remover might be helpful with this process as well. When you work with smooth HTV, and press a piece on top, you can barely see the fix. If you have other types of mistakes, such as forgetting to weed layered iron-on heat transfer vinyl HTV you can cover the HTV with a piece the same color as the background and press it right over the top. You can’t even tell which petal I missed! Once I was able to get a corner of it up enough, I grabbed it quickly and pulled it off. I used a metal hook tool and picked at the design until it started to come up. Hold the shirt around the iron (careful, it’s hot), and work quickly. I wrapped the shirt around my iron and heated the design up from behind (which will loosen the adhesive on the HTV). The goal here is to heat up the design again. The technique to fix this shirt is going to be similar to the dog above. I thought the design was pretty simple so I didn’t look at the design when I was weeding. Who says those silver circles weren’t part of the plan (wink). I added a few more glitter silver circles on the front and back of the album to make it look intentional.
I stuck the silver glitter right over the damaged circle, covered the entire design with a tea towel and then pressed the album again. I measured the circles, they were 1″ so I cut some 1″ silver glitter heat transfer and covered that whoops up. This is another trick you can do to fix your heat transfer mistakes. & Mrs.” heat transfer design, I was not expecting what happened when I pulled up the heat transfer carrier sheet.Īgh! When I removed the heat transfer carrier sheet, it pulled up some of the gold! Since this was not something I added to the album, I could not just pull it off and try it again. When I personalized the album with our exclusive “Mr. This album came with the gold polka dots already printed on the album, they are some type of foil (I think).
I made this beautiful photo album for a friend's wedding gift. Once the design has been removed, you can try that layering again. I thought I might run into trouble when I pulled up the part that overlapped the border, but it came off without pulling up the black (yes!). Pick off the design with a pair of tweezers. Keep the heat moving so you don’t burn the stuffie. Keep the embossing gun at least a few inches away from the design and gently heat it up. The idea with this technique is to heat up the vinyl in sections and then pick the design off with tweezers. My embossing gun has been used for that, but I’ve also used it to speed dry paint, adhere vinyl onto surfaces and, you guessed it, remove mistakes in heat transfer vinyl! Embossing guns are like super powered blow dryers, they get VERY hot (use caution). Heat tools (aka embossing guns) are used to melt embossing powder (for paper crafting). Instead, I pulled out my trusty embossing heat tool. On a plush stuffed animal like this, it isn’t as easy as heating up your iron and ironing it again (see below for a shirt fix). The first step to fix it is to heat the design up again. Groan! The “kindergarten” layer shifted when I pressed the design and got all kinds of messed up. Let’s take a look at these cute last day of school autograph doggies I made.īring along a few Sharpies and collect friends signatures, it’s like a stuffed yearbook! As I was making these two, I had a slight mishap on the one dog. I don’t know about you, but I hate wasting supplies, especially heat transfer vinyl! There are a few ways you can fix a mistake, let’s look at some examples and some ways to fix the mistakes. When you make a mistake with iron-on HTV it can be frustrating. Mistakes happen, it’s part of life and part of crafting.
