After cutting, use the provided weeding tool to remove the excess vinyl around your design. This process is made easier by the HTV's design for simple weeding.

Once weeded, your HTV design is ready for transfer.

- Place your garment or item on a flat, heat-resistant surface.
- Position the HTV design (carrier sheet up) onto the garment.
- Apply even pressure with your heat press or iron for the recommended time (usually 10-15 seconds).
- Allow the design to cool slightly (warm peel) or completely (cold peel) as per your HTV instructions, then carefully peel off the carrier sheet.
The HTV vinyl is sensitive to temperature and pressure, ensuring a secure bond to fabric. It is designed to withstand over 50 machine washes at 40 degrees Celsius without fading, peeling, or cracking.
