D.I.Y. Freedom for all T-shirt

Step 2

Upload the file to Design Space. Its an svg file so you don’t have to clean up the image. Just choose the name you want to save it under and select it then click “Insert Image”

Step 3

Now the the file is in Design space, you’ll see the layers panel on the right.

Ungroup the file (ungroup button is right above the layers)

Then we’ll attach the word that are on separate layer. For instance “Freedom” click on the layer that just has the “F” hold shift and click on the layer with “freedom” On the bottom right of your screen, select Attach.

Now we’ll repeat the same process for the word “All”

Select the layer with “A” then hold shift and select the layer with “ll” then select attach.

Now that we’ve done that, highlight the entire image and Group them back together.

Then change the width to 8 inches. (Im using a Medium sized shirt so you can make it a little smaller or larger depending on the size you’re using)

Now, save your project. And we’re ready to cut.

Choose the model machine you’re using and select “Make It”

Step 4

Next (and one of the most imoportant steps) MIRROR each layer.

The mirror Option is under each layer on the left side of the screen. This Mirror option will flip your image.

Make sure to mirror every layer. Then click on Continue.

Step 5

Once you’ve done that, its time to select the material youre using for your shirt.

If you’re using regular htv, then choose the “Everyday Iron-On” option.

Im using both htv and glitter htv. so I have to change the settings from Everyday iron-on to Glitter iron-on when I switch materials.

I used glitter iron-on for the Red and Blue Layer and regular iron-on for the white layer.

Step 6

Now its time to cut.

Place your htv shiny side down on your mat. Then load and cut all three layers.

Step 7

This is where the weeding tool comes in

Use it to help remove the excess htv, you only want to leave back the wording that we will be pressing to the shirt.

After you’re done, this is what you’ll be left with.

Step 8

Once you flip it over to be pressed to the shirt, you’ll see that its the right way.

And now we grab our mat, t-shirt and easy press.

It will then tell you:

• what temperature to set it
• how much pressure you need
• if you should flip and press the back
• and if you can peel it hot or cool

Now that you’ve got your settings, turn on your Easy Press set it to 330 degrees, set 30 seconds on the timer, and lets get started.

Step 9

Place the mat down, then the t-shirt on top. I usually iron the shirt a little, to get out the wrinkles.

Then lay your design on the shirt exactly how you want it. Im an amauture and I made this t-shirt for myself so I did not measure, I just eyeballed it.

Step 10

Then lay your easy press on top of the design. (Wait until it gets to the temperature needed)

Give light pressure. Once the 30 seconds are up, flit the shirt and press the back for 15 seconds.

Step 11

Let it cool down for a few seconds then peel off the clear paper.

And there were have it. Our t-shirt is complete.
