Choosing the Right Printable Iron-on Material

When it comes to printable iron-on materials, there are a few options to choose from. You can opt for printable iron-on sheets that you can feed directly into your inkjet printer, or you can choose printable iron-on transfer paper that you print your design on and then transfer onto your fabric. Before you start your project, make sure to read the instructions on the packaging of the printable iron-on material you are using. This will help you understand if you need to mirror your design before cutting and any specific settings you need to adjust on your Cricut machine.

Once you have your printable iron-on material selected, it’s time to create your design in Cricut Design Space. Upload your design or create one from scratch using the tools available. Make sure to resize your design to fit your project and adjust any colors or layers as needed. When you are happy with your design, click Make It in Design Space to send your design to your Cricut machine for cutting. Follow the prompts on your computer or smartphone to select the material setting for printable iron-on and load your material onto the cutting mat. After cutting, carefully weed out the excess material from around your design.

Applying the Printable Iron-on Material

Now that your design is cut and weeded, it’s time to apply the printable iron-on material to your fabric. Preheat your iron to the recommended temperature for the printable iron-on material you are using. Place your fabric on a flat surface and position your design where you want it to be. Cover your design with a thin cloth or parchment paper to protect it from direct heat. Press the hot iron on top of your design, applying firm and even pressure for the recommended time. Allow the material to cool before carefully peeling off the backing.
