Iron on transfers are a great way to add custom designs to any fabric material. Cricut makes it easy to create your own custom iron on transfers with their range of machines and materials.
Ironing on a Cricut iron on transfer is a straightforward process.
Step 1: Pre-treat the fabric
Before you start, pre-treat the fabric with an iron setting of medium heat. This ensures that the fabric is ready for the transfer and will help it adhere better.
Step 2: Cutout the design
Next, use your Cricut machine to cut out the design you want to transfer. Make sure that all of the edges are cut cleanly and that there are no loose pieces or frays.
Step 3: Position the transfer
Position your transfer onto the fabric where you want it to be placed. Make sure that it is centered and straight before pressing down. If needed, use a ruler or other straight edge to ensure accuracy.
Step 4: Iron on
Set your iron to its highest heat setting, without steam, and place it over the transfer for 15-20 seconds. Lift up, check if it has adhered properly, and repeat until you are satisfied with the result.
Step 5: Peel off backing paper
Once your transfer has been successfully ironed on, let it cool down before carefully peeling off any excess backing paper.
Conclusion:
Ironing a Cricut iron on transfer is an easy way to add custom designs to any fabric material. With just five simple steps – pre-treating the fabric, cutting out the design, positioning the transfer, ironing on and then peeling off backing paper – you can create beautiful custom creations for yourself or for others!
