Can Cricut SportFlex Be Used on Cotton?

Cricut SportFlex is a special material that can be used for a variety of creative projects. It is made of a combination of polyester, spandex, and lycra and is designed to be stretchable and durable. With its unique properties, it can be used for creating custom apparel, accessories, home decor items, and much more. But can Cricut SportFlex be used on cotton?

The answer is yes! Cricut SportFlex can indeed be used on cotton fabrics. It’s important to note that the fabric must first be pre-treated with an adhesive before applying the Cricut SportFlex material.

Pre-treating the fabric ensures better adhesion between the two materials and helps prevent any damage to the fabric when cutting or applying the Cricut SportFlex.

This pre-treatment process is simple and straightforward. First, you will need to wash and dry your cotton fabric according to the instructions on the product label. Next, use an iron-on adhesive spray or foam to coat both sides of the fabric evenly. Allow the adhesive to cure for 24 hours before cutting out your design with your Cricut machine using the SportFlex material settings.

Once you’ve applied your Cricut SportFlex onto your pre-treated cotton fabric, you can then finish off your project with any additional embellishments such as rhinestones or patches if desired. You will also need to heat press or sew down any edges that have been cut by your machine in order for them to stay in place.

Conclusion:

Yes, Cricut SportFlex can be used on cotton fabrics when they have been pre-treated with an adhesive before application. This process should take no more than 24 hours depending on how long it takes for the adhesive to cure properly before cutting out designs with a Cricut machine using sportflex material settings.
