I've gotten some questions about how to use a heat press with vinyl and faux leathers. In this video, I will show you how to use a heat press to fuse Decovil Light to faux leather or vinyl. I'll also walk you through the process of fusing woven interfacing to linen or cotton.
▶ This is the heat press I use. It's an HPN Black Series Heat Press.

▶ Shop vinyl and faux leather from Simply Classic

I hope this answers some questions and makes a heat press less intimidating.
Happy pressing!

It is worth it if you can fit it in your space and budget!

@@simplyclassic do you recommend any in particular?

Thank you for this great video. The other thing I do when I fuse vinyl is let it set to slightly cool before removing it from the press. It seems so help for the glue to cool slightly before moving the piece.

I agree Liz, that is great advice!

Pressure is also important. Too much pressure causes indentions. I use a medium pressure when pressing wovens. I also use 285 F with vinyls

May I suggest that you use a resin sheet on top of your blue pad? Especially if you’re laying the adhesive facing down, it won’t get on the pad either, in case there’s shifting or any transfer from the fabric itself

That's a great idea! Thank you for the suggestion.

Hi Margaret, thank you for watching! I need to check with her to make sure it is okay first. I know that she does a lot of her own videos. If she allows it, I will certainly do one.

Great Video - My problem is space - but it certainly would be great not to have your interfacing/stabilizer separate at the end of a project - great information to make a decision. :)

can you try hot fix rhinestones on faux leather? Thank you for sharing this video and other videos

@simplyclassic Жыл бұрын

That is a great question. I have never tried it but I feel like you certainly can. I would put the rhinestones face down on the press so they are against the soft bottom instead of the hard metal top.
