I'm glad you did this video. I have the Easy Press for small projects with my grands and I made rhinestone shirts with them. They have been washed several times and not one stone lost. The HTV still looks great too. I cut my scraps in shapes as you mentioned and now they've seen your video and they press them with their own iron. I just save them and we have a pressing party. Everyone has their own iron! Thanks Matt

Before my heat press arrived, I had to use an iron to make two shirts for my son's last minute hip-hop duo. It turned out great. We've washed it about 15 times already and it is still holding up.

I tried the home iron before my first heat press and I working on the 'I hope' model. I hoped that each HTV application stayed on after I washed the garment. So happy that I moved up to a heat press with even pressure.

I started with an iron. I got my my press a few months later and touched base with everyone I could remember that had bought shirts from me and offered to repress their shirts or just remake them with the press bc my personal shirts all had vinyl peeling off of them. The crazy thing…everyone said their shirts were still fine and most appreciated the gesture and ended up ordering other shirts from me.

I'm just starting out and right away I knew a home iron wasn't for me. I got the craft press as a birthday present and realized quickly I wanted a larger size for adult shirts so I purchased a 15x15 press. My dream (once I start a business, have customers, and the need is there) is to some day purchase Matt's Dream Kit.

I used an iron about a year and a half ago and ended up quitting. This time when I got back into this business I said I was going to purchase a heat press and what a difference. It's the pressure I couldn't do. Now I don't have to worry about the pressure.
