What Does Iron on Mean on Cricut?

Iron on, or heat transfer vinyl (HTV), is a type of material used with a Cricut machine to create custom designs and logos. It is a popular choice for clothing, accessories, and home décor projects. Iron-on material is available in a variety of colors and finishes, allowing users to create almost any design they can imagine. The process of using iron-on material with a Cricut machine is simple and straightforward.

First, you will need to create your design on the Cricut Design Space software. Once your design is complete, you can cut it out using your Cricut machine.

Once the design is cut out, you will need to mirror the image before you place it on the iron-on material. This step is essential for ensuring that the design will appear correctly when applied to fabric.

Once your image is mirrored and ready to go, place it onto the iron-on material and set up your Cricut machine’s EasyPress or Iron accordingly. Make sure that the temperature and time settings are correct for the type of iron-on material that you are using. When ready, press firmly and evenly over the entire image for 10 seconds.

When finished pressing, carefully peel away the backing paper from the iron-on transfer to reveal your design! Now all that’s left to do is carefully place it onto your desired fabric item such as a shirt or hat and press again with an EasyPress or Iron for 20 seconds at medium pressure.

Conclusion:

Using iron-on material with a Cricut machine is an easy way to personalize clothing, accessories, and other fabric items with custom designs. The process requires only a few simple steps – creating a design in Design Space, cutting it out with a Cricut machine, mirroring it before placing on iron-on material, pressing firmly with an EasyPress or Iron for 10 seconds before peeling off backing paper – then pressing again for 20 seconds onto fabric item. With just these few steps anyone can use iron-on materials with their Cricut machine!
