How Do You Make All Over Shirts on Silhouette Cameo?

Making All Over Shirts on Silhouette Cameo is easy and fun. All you need is a Silhouette Cameo machine, some fabric, and a few tools.

Step 1: Gather Your Materials. First, you’ll need to gather your materials. You’ll need your fabric of choice, a pair of scissors, iron, ironing board, heat transfer vinyl (HTV), and the Silhouette Cameo machine.

Step 2: Prepping Your Fabric. Before you start making your shirt, you’ll need to prep your fabric for the design transfer process.

Start by washing and drying the fabric to get it ready for printing. Once it’s clean and dried, iron out any wrinkles or creases that may be present in the fabric before you start cutting it into the desired shape using scissors or a rotary cutter.

Step 3: Cutting The Design. Once your fabric is prepped and ready for printing, it’s time to cut out your design on the Silhouette Cameo machine.

First, set up your design in the Silhouette software program by selecting which type of design you would like to create (all over print vs applique). Then upload it onto the machine and adjust it according to size and placement on the shirt before cutting out your design with HTV material on either an adhesive carrier sheet or a standard backing sheet depending on which material type you are using.

Step 4: Transferring The Design To The Shirt. Once your design is cut out with HTV material on either an adhesive carrier sheet or a standard backing sheet depending on which material type you are using, peel off the excess vinyl from around the design so that only the actual image remains attached to either backing paper or adhesive carrier sheet then place it onto your shirt where desired being sure to press firmly so that all parts of the design adhere properly to the shirt’s surface.

Step 5: Heat Pressing The Design Onto The Shirt. Finally time for heat pressing! Use an appropriate heat press setting according to what type of HTV material you are using then press down firmly for 30 seconds on both sides being sure not to move the heat press too quickly as this may cause air bubbles in between layers or cause parts of the image not to adhere properly onto shirt’s surface then remove from heat press once finished pressing down firmly over entire image area ensuring even pressure throughout entire process.

Conclusion: Making all over shirts with Silhouette Cameo machines is easy and fun! With just some basic materials like fabric and HTV along with some simple steps such as prepping fabric for printing, cutting designs with Silhouette software program, transferring designs onto shirts via either adhesive carrier sheets or standard backing sheets before finally heat pressing them onto shirts once everything is set up properly – can help you create beautiful all-over printed shirts!
