Tie Dye Onesie with Heat Transfer Vinyl


Every single time I use the Silhouette SD Heat Transfer Vinyl, I want to bash my head against the wall. There is not a major defect of any kind with the product itself, but I always rush through projects and that does not work well with this vinyl. The tie dying itself worked great considering I just did it the way I figured you did it and didn't really read any instructions on the process. I then designed my vinyl cutout in Photoshop (the recipient's name is Paisley) then loaded it into the Silhouette SD software. I was ready to hit the "cut" button and I always hesitate because I KNOW I'm forgetting something. The first thing I ask myself is, "Did I reverse the image?" because I have forgotten to do this at least 4 times! I know, you think I wold learn. Once I assured myself everything is fine, I sent it to the Silhouette SD and everything seemed perfect until.... UGGGGH... I put the vinyl in glossy side up. FAIL and a waste of $5. I gather myself, eat (which is important for me as a crafter) and give it another go. Everything seems fine once again until I start to peel away the negative parts of the vinyl for transfer and.... UGGGGGH... I pealed away the reverse parts. FAIL AGAIN and a waste of another $5. Seriously, I am moving on to just painting stencils from now on. SHEESH.
