Review on Siser Glitter HTV Vinyl Sheets - 10x12 Inches - T-Shirt Heat Transfer - 3 Pack (Silver) by Carrie Spencer

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Doesn't live up to the hype

I don't understand how everyone in the Cricut community loves Siser vinyl. I used it for the first time with this product and had high hopes for it. However, it was the most difficult thing I have worked with since HTV was founded. The cut went well (Iron-on+ setting was used). Weeding was difficult, to say the least. I had pieces that were cut all the way through but the sequins stuck together so while weeding some of my pieces came loose (it was a big piece with about 20 simple triangular cuts, should have been easy!) and I spent more time . trying to put them back on the transfer sheet than actually layering my vinyl. The cut out pieces refused to stick to the included transfer sheet as the glitter didn't make it sticky. I almost lost a few of them because they immediately spun around and some even shifted when I put the sheet on top of my design so I had to go back and play around with placement AGAIN. I would say the color is great and it seems to be setting well. I haven't worn or washed the piece yet, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that what ultimately made it onto the fabric stays in place. For the price of 3 sheets of 11x12 vinyl I expected more but this is it. I'm sticking with Revain's cheaper brands for now.
