Which Side Goes Up on Cricut Smart Iron On?

Cricut Smart Iron On is a type of heat transfer vinyl (HTV) that can be used to add custom designs to almost any material. Its adhesive backing enables you to easily apply your designs to fabric, metal, wood, and other surfaces. But which side goes up?

The answer is simple: the shiny side goes up. When you look at the Cricut Smart Iron On, the shiny side should be facing you.

This is the side that will be visible when applied to your fabric or other surface. The duller side has an adhesive backing that will attach it to the material.

Before applying your design, make sure to preheat the area with an iron for about 10 seconds. This will help ensure that your design sticks properly and doesn’t peel off over time. Once you have preheated the area, carefully place your design on top of it with the shiny side facing up.

Next, cover your design with a pressing cloth – this can be a tea towel or a scrap piece of fabric – and press firmly with an iron for about 15-20 seconds. Make sure to move slowly and evenly over the entire surface of your design to ensure that it sticks properly.

Once you’re done pressing, carefully peel off the backing paper from your design and discard it. Your custom design should now be firmly attached to its new home!

Conclusion:

The answer is simple – when using Cricut Smart Iron On, always make sure that the shiny side is facing up! This will ensure that your custom design looks great on whatever surface you choose.
