Why is my Heat Transfer Vinyl not Sticking?
1. Check that all criteria are fulfilled: time, temperature, and pressure are all incredibly critical considerations when using HTV; check for directions on the vinyl you are using, and make sure all settings are correct.

● Time: Pressing or ironing for too short a time will cause vinyl not to adhere to your goods; ironing the heat transfer vinyl for too long will burn the adhesive off.

● Temperature: Not all vinyl is used at the same temperature. Test to make sure you use the recommended temperature.

● Pressure: Good pressure is when you physically shake your arms from pressing down so hard, you should be able to see the weave of the cloth through the vinyl. If you’re not sure whether you’re getting enough pressure from your household iron, throw a little more weight behind it.

2. Check what kind of cloth you’re hot pressing the vinyl on. To cut a logo, use PES type heat transfer vinyl, and  for spandex fabric use TPU type. Just be confident that whichever comes first, the jersey or the vinyl, they’re going to fit together.

3. Thick seams, buttons, zips, or collars may all be the root of the problem.

4. Some types of HTV may require the carrier to be peeled off right after you pressed or ironed it on. Others might need you to cool off entirely before you remove the plastic carrier sheet. Peeling inappropriately will certainly destroy your design.
