Instructions
 

  • Prewash and dry the tea towel. Iron out all wrinkles and creases.

Preparing the Image:

  • Open Cricut Design Space.
  • Click on the “+” sign to start a new project, opening up a blank canvas.
  • Click on the Upload button from the toolbar to insert the All About Autumn SVG file on to the canvas.
  • Maintain the size at roughly 6” wide by 9” high.

Cutting the Iron-On Vinyl:

  • Select “Make It” in the upper right corner to proceed with cutting.
  • Click the “Mirror” toggle button to on.
  • Cut the Everyday Iron-On Vinyl width to fit on the standard grip mat. Press continue.
  • Choose Everyday Iron-On Vinyl from the list of options in the drop down menu.
  • Place the Iron-On vinyl directly onto the standard grip mat with the SHINY SIDE DOWN.
  • Following the instructions prompted on the screen, cut out the vinyl.

Preparing the Cut Image:

  • Remove the Everyday Iron-On Vinyl from the mat.
  • Using a weeding tool, peel away the excess vinyl leaving only the All About Autumn lettering.

Applying the Image with the Cricut EasyPress 2:

  • Position the mat or a towel on a flat surface.
  • Set the temperature and time on the EasyPress 2 machine.
  • Determine where you will be placing the lettering and preheat the tea towel in that spot for 5 seconds.
  • Place the cut lettering on to the tea towel with the shiny side up.
  • Press the image on to the tea towel for 30 seconds with light pressure.
  • Turn the tea towel upside down and apply heat for another 15 seconds.
  • Peel the plastic part of the vinyl off carefully once it cools and discard.
  • Make sure you do not place an iron or the EasyPress Mini directly over the vinyl without the protective plastic cover.
