#4 Preheat your iron or EasyPress

Preheat your iron or EasyPress to the recommended temperature for your iron-on vinyl and fabric. Check the instructions that come with your vinyl for the recommended settings.

#5 Position your design

Position your design on your shirt or fabric item. You can use a ruler or measuring tape to make sure it’s straight.

#6 Protect your design

Place a piece of parchment paper or Teflon sheet on top of your design and press with your iron or EasyPress for the recommended amount of time. Check the instructions that come with your vinyl for the recommended time and pressure.

#7 Let it cool

Once you have pressed your design, allow it to cool for a few seconds before peeling off the plastic backing.
