HTVRont HTV vinyl works great for t shirt project

HTVRont HTV vinyl is amazing stuff! Wishing I would have bought more! I use the Cricut Explore air and this is the best stiff I have worked with! Will be ordering more in the very near future! This worked great! I have never used HTV before and actually ordered this on the same day I ordered my Silhouette Cameo 3. The instructions are a little lacking, but with some trial and error I got this little spaceship on a shirt :) Some things to know:Cut shiny side up. The shiny side is the vinyl. The “matte” side is the plastic you’ll peel off. You’ll need to flip/mirror images and words!“Cold peel” means wait for it to cool down before you peel the plastic away.I don’t own a heat press or an iron, so I used a hair straightener to do this tiny project and it worked great! I just flipped it on and let it heat up and then did about 20 seconds of pressure. It feels securely on the shirt!My Cameo 3 cut perfectly on the glossy vinyl default settings, but I did double cut just in case.  I enjoyed the ease in using the htv. It cut easily and went on smoothly. The provided Teflon sheet worked great to protect the htv during the iron on process.

HTVRont HTV vinyl  is Super soft and easy to use! I’m new to the vinyl cutting world and couldn’t get it to cut it with my Silhouette Portrait at first. Once I increased the pressure the results were amazing. Easy to weed, sticks to the fabric well and held up well through the washer and dryer. Was very frustrated at first as I couldn't tell for sure which side was vinyl and which transfer sheet. Once I figured that out, I like it. Have not tried to wash as am working on Christmas gifts. Don,t understand the reviews that say there is no transfer sheets. If you get the right side it works like the other htv. This was my first time using HTV and this vinyl was great. Very easy to weed, stayed on perfectly and extremely great to work with. Great colors and easy to use! It cut easily and adhered to my bows very easy! The variety of colors is amazing. Like other reviewers have said there's no instructions but if you have used HTV before you'll have no problems. So far I've made a shirt and decorative canvas. The vinyl was easy to weed which is a huge plus (I hate weeding sometimes!). It also was easy to apply. I highly recommend.

I am very happy with my purchase! The colors are vivid and bright. It was my first time working with HTV and I was impressed with how easy the weeding process was. I appreciated other customer's feedback regarding which side to cut, because without specific directions provided with the product, I was a bit confused. They were spot on. This is the best heat transfer vinyl I have used ever... Shiny side up! Another person recommended that I take a paper clip and poke a small hole in the corner, which ever side it goes through is the side that faces up to be cut and that was especially helpful! I appreciated that the seller also provided the Teflon sheet to protect my material when heat pressing. The price was perfect for the product! The only thing that could be better would be if they provided instructions in the package, but it was not too hard to figure out. I will be ordering again!

This vinyl was better than my Cricut Vinyl. I loved the matte black. I used it with my new EasyPress. I made a shirt in 15 minutes. I did not have any issues with cutting, weeding, or applying the vinyl.
