Yes, you can press Siser EW Stretch onto Lycra, but you may encounter issues with the pressure required to properly press this material. Lycra and other synthetic materials tend to scorch at lower temperatures. So you'll want to do a test press to make sure this process is going to work with your materials in particular.

That's a great idea for a video! But we have held them up side by side here. The finish is exactly the same.

@@HeatPressNation ok. I just wanted to know.

Hi Joanne! For heat sensitive fabrics, we would recommend going lower in time and temp. Most manufacturer's provide the settings for different fabric types :)

You can view Siser's recommended settings for Cricut machines here: www.siserna.com/easyweed-stretch/ In general, if a cutter is "stitching" your cuts - leaving small bits still attached - you may want to inspect the blade. Make sure it's clean and sharp. You'll also want to ensure your material is sitting flat on the cutting mat with no bubbling.

@@HeatPressNation just a question doesn't vinyl + cut all the way through the htv because of it not being thick?

It depends on the fabric, honestly. Some manufacturers use better quality materials that hold up better to heat pressing. While it's very likely you'll see some sort of press mark, the only way to know for sure is to do a test press / wash test.

What is that? Can you provide a link?

A pressing pillow is a great tool to minimize the appearance of press marks.heat.press/pillow

Gonne be honest, I'm not sure. We don't carry Cricut products, so I'm not familiar with their cutters. But it sounds like you could use a new blade? Also, be sure to use a cutting mat when cutting HTV. Hopefully someone else reading with a little Cricut knowledge this can chime in. You can also submit this question to our Facebook group: heat.press/FBgroup -Jared

I’ve always used iron on setting. Go to siser website they should have the cutting instruction on there

I'm having the same issue I don't need a new blade because regular easyweed and cricut HTV is cutting no issue but I keep trying diff settings and it is not cutting with my cricut I am very dissapointed

@@vanessaaguirre1878 are you using iron on +?

You cut vinyl side up like any other vinyl

I would use adhesive vinyl. Something like oracal 651

Yes, always cut your heat transfer vinyl with the frosted/matte/soft side up and have your image mirrored. I would recommend setting your heat press to heavy pressure at Siser's recommended settings (320F/20sec). Pre-heat your garment for about 5-10 seconds and let any and all steam come out. (It also helps to use garments that are pre-shrunk.) Do that, and you shouldn't have any issues with Siser Stretch. I've used this material on a lot of my own projects, with these methods and haven't had any issues. -Jared

Yes, for sure. The formula hasn't changed. Siser had to update their recommendations to be a little "overkill" to ensure that everyone is pressing their Stretch properly.

Yes, it can :)

Hi there! No, you can not. We would recommend EasySubli HTV for that job.

Yes I was wondering why mine wasn’t lasting 1 wash.. it’s almost 100 degrees off lol but glad I know know

@@meioshagreene3903 Ya I was like why does the website still say that?

Yes, definitely.

yes. I use easyweed stretch. Mirror image just like regular easyweed

Thank you
