We just bought our first clamshell heat press that came with minimal instructions and were not sure how to use it. After watching this video we are now extremely confident and can't wait to put it to use! Thank you so very much!
Omg, my husband bought me a heat press about 2 years ago during covid I was so overwhelmed and didn't know how to start. Your information is os helpful. I am now ready to start projects. Thank you so much
This is exactly what I needed, husband bought mine for mother's day and I've been so intimidated, now I feel more informed and way less scared of the thing!đ
I am just starting out with sublimation and heatpress with vinyl. Finding your videos very helpful. Had a SNC since they came out in the UK and done loads with it but now its time to do what I always wanted to do. Late as always compared to others but willing to learn about sublimation and vinly heatpressing. Thank you so much, you have given me loads to think about,
Oh and I LOVE how you can scroll through the video and it has headings on the topic youâre talking about so you know exactly where to stop. Sensational!
You are AMAZING! This was so informative for a beginner. I had no idea how to do the pressure test or to fold the substrate to find the middle seam. Thank you so much!
I am so glad you mentioned that about the table height. I have broken my back and now have long lasting problems from that. I had an easy press because I could lift it without problems. I finally have a permanent place to store a full size heat press. I was a little worried about the difficulty of kicking it on place so I will make sure to try out a lower table.
This is great! I just got a heat press for Christmas and didn't really know much about it (other than what it does) so thank you for this tutorial! I'll be sure to order the pillows! Thank you!
Thanks for the thorough video! I've just started looking for a heat press after having so much trouble getting htv to stick with the easy press and I'm practically laying on the easy press for pressure.
Just so you know...I am in love with you!! This was beyond thorough and I now have much less trepidation about buying and using my 1st heat press. You are a treasure to the HTV freshman class! â€ïž
Omg no way! I think I flunked my freshman phase 3 times! I've had my heatpress over a year and always get information overload when I Google it. So I'm not the only one. I'm stuck at the brands. What's a good ink brand, a good printer, and brand of heat transfer paper to get? It's for mostly cotton shirts. I Google it but again there is so much various ways. I just want brightness and durability I guess.
What a wonderful tutorial! I bought my first 15 x 15 Clamshell Heat Press and needed a tutorial to start using it. Thank you for teaching! I was totally unaware I needed additional tools to ensure my designs come out perfect. Again, thank YOU!!!
Thank you, this was very useful. LOL I wish I had seen this yesterday, as I bought a heat press last night, and now I am wondering if I should have bought a clamshell instead of a swing away...well, live and learn. I will bolt it well to an end table :) Thanks for the tips!
This is the best video I have found about heat press machines... I wish life would come with a tutorial from her hahahaha, she explains so good and her voice is so nice. Thank you!!!
This is by far the best video I have watched, well explained with the heat press machine. Now I'm just having a headache on which heatpress to choose from
I looooooooove your videos! Without you, I would have never learned to use my cameo. And now I know what to do about getting a heat press! Thank you sooooooo much!
I am researching different heat presses, I have an easy press but its time to upgrade to something a little more practical for me. Making T Shirts for a hobby went into a small business. I've watched a few videos on different heat presses and this is by far my favorite. I never comment on videos but You got to the point and kept my attention the whole time! Thank you!!
Thank youđ very nice detail video we love it. At first I thought my machine was broken cuz it would take so long to heat up I've been looking for someone to explain this and you did a great job đmuch successđ will be enjoying your videos and thank youđđđ
Thank you for all of the information that you provide! Your videos are very informative, well laid out and you present them so well! Please keep teaching us newbies!
Thank you thank you thank you!!! Your information was soooo helpful!!! I was really struggling trying to decide what heat press to purchase. You answered all of my questions..... and even ones I didnt know I had!! haha!!
You are so amazing. I really learned alot watching this detailed video. My brother bought a heat press and started making really cool stuff so I decided to follow suit. My heat press came in a couple of days ago and he has been helping me with what he has learned. I still enjoy watching videos because I still tend to learn things I havent experienced yet or even thought about. I learned ALOT from this. I love your shop, detailed, attitude and your enthusiasm. You really need your own show. Thanks again. Oh and I also enjoyed your sense of humor. Look forward to following you as a new subscriber.
Just bought my first swing away heat press after my Cricut easy press needed replacement in only 2-3 months. Not many videos out there on how to use the heat press and the different styles so appreciated your thoroughness, your honesty is great because reality is we do things all differently and it was nice to see the reasons for those pads! LOL Seriously, vendors do such a poor job with the manual/directions as you know. Thanks again!
Wow, I didnât know it was so easy! Thank you, Iâm looking for a job right now and there was a custom printing tshirt place thatâs hiring near me so I was hoping to learn it, glad to say quickest way to learn!
I have a clam shell. My husband found it for me on Amazon and paid $125 for it. My son n law made a cabinet for it to sit on. I have never had a problem with it. I love it!!!
good video. I just subscribed. I made teflon heat press pillows for 2 years for a friend of mine in the heat press industry. He retired. The same guy just sold me his heat press (15x15) , a Cameo 3 cutter with Bluetooth, a Cricut Easy Press heat press ( the 12x10 size) i guess you'd call it " hand held" and a bunch of vinyl . I already made a design and applied it to a practice shirt no problem, I'm so excited about this. Lots to learn : )
Hey Carolyn! Thank you so much! If you have any questions or get stuck while working on your project, we have a live chat option through our homepage! We are here to help! - Dawn
Iâm very interested in starting to make t shirts, towels or anything else with a press. This was super informative. One question, what do you use to create the heat transfers?
Thank you so much for this video. I have been trying to figure out what heat press to buy and my money was burning a hole in my pocket. lol. I bought one off of ebay that was super cheap and didnt heat right. I have now got yours on the way from heat press nation. SO excited. Love your videos btw.
Thank you so much for this. Lot's of good information. Heat press seems so simple, and it is but it helps to know about the pillows, the paper and the pads. I appreciate it.
Thank you for all the videos. I've been looking at all the others and didn't learn a damn thang lol. You must been sent by GOD. Now i can stop crying and having a breakdown. Thank you again. Your the best you do awesome work
Love your video, very helpful, I am looking for a good heat press, would you mind to share which one you were using on your video? I'd rather get the one you have, at least I know it would work Thanks so much in advance â€ïž
Okay. I'm sorry. The story of the swing away in a wall sent me into hysterics đ€ŁJust the way you explained it. I would have been distraught as well! đđđđđ
Thanks Shaundra! It was very distressing, I'm glad you feel my pain! đ Hopefully I'll save a few others from similar heartbreak! Thanks for watching! ---Becky
Love your video. You explain things so easy that I have learned so much. I'm getting into a little sublimation for a hobby right now so I'm moving at my own pace. Thank you for making it so simplified for us newbies.
Becky - thank you for the great informative video. Do you have a good resource for sublimation pressing times with different substrates? I keep getting light brown marks on the tote bags I have been pressing.
Hey Kathleen! I try to keep a notebook of where I purchase my blanks from. Usually your vendor will have their recommended settings that they have tested with their products. What type of tote bags are you using and what kind of marks are you seeing? ---Becky
Hey Terry, mine is from Heat Press Nation. I'll link it here for you. Hope this helps! ---Becky www.heatpressnation.com/products/hpn-15x15-signature-series-heat-press-auto-open

Hi thanks so much for this video..... So when you print your designs onto the tshirts or hoodies or whatever..... It can be washed over and over without the design being damaged or messed up right ? Thank you
I just got my heat press well just got my husband to put it together, and for now it is on a long white folding table that I use as my work area for tumblers. Itâs that hard plastic white table a lot of people use at events. Now Iâm not sure if I should use it on that surface as it is a swing one. I havenât used it yet because Iâm waiting on the Teflon sheets and pillows. I also just upgraded to a larger convection oven for sublimation tumblers that he is about to build a wooden table for it and my printers and cricut to sit on. Iâm curious if I need to move the press to something like that instead of the hard plastic table? Iâm planning to use it just for sublimation at this time. Do you have a tutorial for sublimation? Iâm so scared to get to using it yet.

When purchasing the vinyl, many times the manufacturer will have a guide on when it should be peeled.
Thank you đđŒ

Hi thanks so much for this video..... So when you print your designs onto the tshirts or hoodies or whatever..... It can be washed over and over without the design being damaged or messed up right ? Thank you
I just got my heat press well just got my husband to put it together, and for now it is on a long white folding table that I use as my work area for tumblers. Itâs that hard plastic white table a lot of people use at events. Now Iâm not sure if I should use it on that surface as it is a swing one. I havenât used it yet because Iâm waiting on the Teflon sheets and pillows. I also just upgraded to a larger convection oven for sublimation tumblers that he is about to build a wooden table for it and my printers and cricut to sit on. Iâm curious if I need to move the press to something like that instead of the hard plastic table? Iâm planning to use it just for sublimation at this time. Do you have a tutorial for sublimation? Iâm so scared to get to using it yet.
How do you mount your heat press down in order to keep it from tipping?
