What do i do if some of the iron on doesn t stick after i put heat on it. Once i place the image with clear backing paper onto the shirt i still cover it with teflon sheet.

The main issues are. How do i get it to work. There is not a one size fits all when it comes to this. Why is my t shirt vinyl not sticking.

Time pressing or ironing for too short a time can cause htv not to stick to your shirt. Pressing or ironing for too long can have the same effect. Results were quite good. The cricut easypress temperature goes down when i apply it to the image.

Any moisture will prevent adherence also hence my spit up reference.
