Cutting Flocked HTV with a CricutApplying Flocked Heat Transfer VinylAdding Sublimation on Flocked HTV

Step 1

Apply the flocked HTV to your Cricut mat. A green or a blue mat will work here. Put the material shiny side down and press down well.

Step 2

Then add your fine point blade to your Cricut machine and mirror the cut in Cricut Design Space. You will want to use the Iron-On setting with more pressure for the additional thickness of the flocked material.

Step 3

Then just add your mat to your machine and press go to start your cut. Once the cut is complete, remove the mat from the machine. Continue on to weed and apply your HTV.

Step 4

Start with the piece that you cut on your Cricut machine above. You will want to weed away all of the excess around the outside as well as the centers of any letters.

Step 5

This material weeds the same as regular HTV. One thing to note is that some of the fuzz will stay on the sticky portion of the liner. So, the liner will not be as sticky once you have your design weeded.

Step 6

Use your EasyPress to heat your shirt slightly to get rid of any moisture. Then add your design in location. Press on top of an EasyPress mat or folded towel.

Step 7

Then press according to the time and temperature for the brand of flocked HTV you are using. Once you are done pressing, remove the liner. NOTE: The brand that I am using requires that you wait a few minutes before peeling.

Step 8

Cut the design you want to use for sublimation from Infusible Ink or print with a sublimation printer. Here I just cut the snowflake and weeded it. Then apply ink side down onto the flocking and tape into place. NOTE: You will need to use heat resistant tape.

Step 9

Add your EasyPress mat inside your shirt and cover it with butcher paper. Add butcher paper over the top of your design before pressing. This will protect your surfaces from the ink.

Step 10

Press according to the time and temperature for the product you are using. Then remove the paper to reveal your design!
