Applying Siser Glitter HTV with the Cricut EasyPress
Step 1: Set the temperature to 355°F. Most Siser HTV can be applied with the EasyPress set to 335°F-340°F, but Glitter does best with a little higher temperature. When the press beeps, it’s reached temperature and you can use it to pre-press the jersey.
Step 2: Place the EasyPress mat inside the garment between the front and back layers.
Step 3: Cover HTV with a heat transfer cover sheet and press firmly for 5-10 seconds. (The larger 12×10 EasyPress 2 enabled me to press in just two sections as opposed to five sections with my small iron.)
Step 4: Peel carrier warm.
Step 5: Repeat steps 3 and 4 with your second color.
Now this mesh jersey looks fabulous from front to back!

Is this the stretch vinyl from Siser?

Hi Brendon! I used Glitter HTV in this post, but we do offer EasyWeed® Stretch for fabrics that contain spandex or elastane.

This jersey wouldn’t be from Epic Sports would it? I just got those and I’m so nervous about pressing them with Siser Vinyl. I don’t want to scorch them.

Hi Gloria! The jersey shown in this blog post is an A4 brand: https://www.a4.com/p/n2274. If you’re nervous about scorching, I’d suggest test pressing the garment to see how it reacts the heat. You can learn more about test pressing in this video.
