Wildgoose 4,200 Posted November 3, 2018 I do a LOT of HTV work and primarily use Siser Easyweed Stretch (and the non-stretch when the color isn't available in stretch). Well I had a job that needed grey and it needed to be stretch which for whatever reason Siser does not do grey stretch. So I ordered some premium plus from stahls to get the job done. the temp range is comparable so I could use the other colors in the design out of my regular. The vinyl is ok I guess, stretchy and a nice hand but OH MY WORD what a pain to see to weed! You can't see where your blade has been to save your life. I had some knockout letters in a block and I'm really glad it was a small order because it was like pulling teeth to get those ready to press. I hope someday soon Siser will make grey in the stretch option. Regular Easyweed works fine on standard shirts but when you go to a performance fabric with a lot of movement it will cause cracks over time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShaneGreen 131 Posted November 5, 2018 White 651 gives me fits like that. Don't know why, but I just can't seem to see where it's been cut. Bought one of these tracing lights off of Amazon a few months ago and it's been fantastic. Even on dark colors you can see a definite contrast where the cut lines are. Had a few small pieces pull up on me one day and with the tracing board the indentations on the carrier/backing jump out at you so it was easy to get them back in the right spot rather than guessing. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0747MB622/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not planning on using this stuff very often but when I do I'll give that a try. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShaneGreen 131 Posted November 5, 2018 I haven't used it on htv yet ( have never cut any until later this week) but it works great on 651 and some Greenstar I have laying around. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wildgoose 4,200 Posted November 5, 2018 You wouldn't need it on Siser but I'll keep that in mind when I go to use the rest of this roll from stahls. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
