Hi I'm new here just found you and glad to be here. I have a cricut and just bought a heat press and want to start making shirts for my nieces and nephews. Was wandering what is the best HTV to buy for me to start making shirts ? Also I did not get a teflon sheet with my press do I need one of them ? Thanks in advance for your help.

I Karen,
I know Roger at heatpressvinyl, cuts his vinyl down to the sizes for smaller machines I think he goes all the way down to 8 inch,,
www.Heatpressvinyl.com

and he also sells the teflon as well a lou,

If we can help with anything else just ask

Roger weed all the way. Can be used on most materials and I use it on a Robo with no problems.

One additional suggestion - you can buy Rogers vinyl and cut it down as needed. Then you get the value of the additional width.

There is not a day that goes by that i dont get compliments on the white Rogers weed, at the t-shirt shop,,

white print on Black tees is huge up here

I would definately get a teflon sheet. It will protect your heat platen, and the garment. And if you're a crafter, you'll find yourself using it for appliques, and other things.

Actually, I would get 2 of them....cut the second one into smaller sizes for smaller designs. One large one will work for everything, but it's just nice to have those smaller sizes too.

You can get them at heatpressessentials.com

I prefer the thicker sheet, but if you're going to order 2, I would suggest you order one of each thickness. They are very inexpensive, and will last a long time.

I need vinyl for my truck window.
 If I email layout can some do it for me. I'll take picture of the truck so you can get a understanding what and where I want. I can't do t-shirts right now because I don't have a job but I am doing something that doesn't cost me anything out of my pocket right at least.
