The first step in using Siser EasyPatterns HTV is to choose the correct setting on your Cricut machine. The proper settings will depend on the type of fabric you are using and whether or not you are using a Cricut Mat.

Once you have selected the proper settings on your Cricut machine, you are ready to begin cutting your Siser EasyPatterns HTV. Make sure that your design is properly lined up on the mat before starting the cut.
If you are using a fabric mat, make sure that both sides of the material are securely adhered to the mat before beginning. Once everything is ready to go, start the cut and wait for it to finish.
After cutting your design with Siser EasyPatterns HTV, you can then apply it to your garment using either an iron or heat press. When applying with an iron, make sure that it has reached its highest setting and be sure to use a pressing cloth over top of the design when applying pressure. Alternatively, if you are using a heat press use medium pressure and set it at 320°F (160°C)for 15 seconds.
