kaytrimm 5 Posted February 18, 2015 Hi! Newbie from Alabama!! I am a graphic designer and work for a printing company but freelance on the side. I have wanted to start doing HTV for a couple of years and am finally making that step. Just received my vinyl cutter and heat press yesterday! Haven't even had a chance to set it up yet since i have to go to my day job. I am a complete newb when it comes to HTV and vinyl decals but I learn fast and open to any tips and advice anyone wants to throw my way! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wildgoose 4,200 Posted February 18, 2015 Welcome Kay. Don't try to use stokes or gradients in your artwork if you are cutting it. It's fun and addicting. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
