Review on πŸ‘• Silhouette Printable Heat Transfer Material for Light Fabrics (2 pack): The Ultimate Solution for Custom and Personalized Designs for Light-Colored Textiles! by Doris Tran

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Don't waste your time and money like me :(

This product is terrible. If I could give negative stars I would. On my Cricut. The 1st sheet was wasted because the printer ink ran out (my fault) 2nd sheet was cut first with Cricut I used the setting for hot melt on vinyl (there was no recommendation on the box) put in machine settings just how to put it in the printer and actual instructions for use). There were a few issues with the first cut - the blade cut straight through the vinyl and through the transfer sheet. Paper sticks to my mat (with standard grip). The actual vinyl has been removed from the transfer sheet. 2nd Cut - I changed my settings to "Custom": Printed Vinyl, Standard Print (I'm new to Cricut and didn't realize there were custom settings for printed vinyl. Said - any instructions were given. Maybe have to changing this setting, I could look it up (I understand this is a Silhouette product - I assume there is a similar setting on this device that needs to be adjusted). I also re-uploaded my design to Design Space and simplified the cut by eliminating the thinner cuts and just keeping the actual outline. It was a drawing made by a small child with broad markers - it was NOT a complicated cut. I pressed the go button and crossed my fingers. I have the same results. After scraping off the paper stuck to my mat, I placed the fourth sheet from the bag onto my mat, set the cutting pressure to light, and pressed Go. And again he got the same results - he lifted the vinyl, cut through the substrate and the paper stuck to the mat. At this point I was so frustrated that I gave up and actually threw away the last piece in the package along with all the leftovers from previous attempts. It was an extremely disappointing experience. I spent two hours on this and I don't have a Father's Day shirt to show off and I wasted my money. PLEASE DO NOT BUY THIS VINYL!
