THEJTINS 29 Posted April 21, 2014 I have a roll of this that a customer bought for me to cut some logos to go on t-shirts for here. She does heat pressing. This stuff is super new to me. I've never cut it before. It seems really thin and has a clear backing on it. Any advice on how I need to go about cutting it and what I can expect? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay2703 704 Posted April 21, 2014 Cut it dull side up and make sure to mirror your design. I use the same settings that I use for regular vinyl. Did I mention to mirror your design?? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pshawny 410 Posted April 21, 2014 ↑↑↑ What Jay said. Make sure to get paid decently for your time. Is it a complicated design? Are you cutting and weeding, or just cutting? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay2703 704 Posted April 21, 2014 It weeds really nice. It's kind of hard pulling it off but you don't usually pull things out that you don't mean too. Did I mention to mirror your design? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don't forget to tell him to mirror the design. Even then you'll still screw up once in a while. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
THEJTINS 29 Posted April 21, 2014 why do I need to mirror the design? which side goes up in the cutter? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
THEJTINS 29 Posted April 21, 2014 by mirroring you mean flip it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
THEJTINS 29 Posted April 21, 2014 i have no clue with this stuff. the customer is a friend of mine from church. she knows I haven't used this stuff before so she's cool with it. I priced it pretty cheap simply because I was curious to use some HTV Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jay2703 704 Posted April 21, 2014 You mirror your design because the side that's up on the cutter is what goes against the fabric. The clear is like the application tape. You want your design to be in reverse of what you do with normal decals. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wildgoose 4,200 Posted April 21, 2014 I'd lay odd that if you go over there and help with the install you will be buying your own heat press within 3 business days. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

THEJTINS 29 Posted April 30, 2014 so a quick update. I cut a few samples for her to try out. It's all the same design so no crazy setups and resets. She called me today and told me to cut the whole roll for her in the one design. I use 6 inches of material for one cut. $5 a pop for the whole 10 yrd roll that she bought. SCORE!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
