![]() ![]() Fine-Point Blade – the one that comes with your machine.Cricut Machine – Iron-on vinyl can be cut with any Cricut machine including the Maker series, Explore series, and Cricut Joy.I realize this might not be crystal clear right now, but you’ll understand once we do a sample project! Supplies Needed for Cricut Iron-On ProjectsĪlthough there is a huge variety of projects you can make with iron-on vinyl, each one will require the same basic materials and supplies: You then will cut into the back of the iron-on vinyl and leave the liner layer 100% in tact. To cut out any design from heat transfer vinyl, you will place the shiny side DOWN onto your cut mat (yep, opposite of what you would normally do!) so that the dull side is facing up. This liner is what allows you to transfer and position your designs just right. The glossy side is the front of your HTV, but it’s covered in a clear/glossy plastic sheet usually called the carrier sheet or liner.It is the side coated with the heat-activated adhesive, which eventually goes down onto your base. The dull side of the iron-on vinyl (HTV) is indeed the back of your design.Our instincts tell us that the glossy side is the top and the dull side is the bottom…which is technically accurate, but not precisely as you think. You will quickly notice that one side is super shiny/glossy and the other side is rather dull. Take a look at the heat transfer vinyl below (or better yet, pull out a roll of your own and take a look). Because although it looks, feels, and (mostly) cuts just like standard vinyl, there is one really important difference you need to fully understand. Understanding the Dull & Glossy Sides of Iron-On Vinyl (HTV)īefore I dive into specifics for cutting and applying iron-on, I want to briefly chat about the “anatomy” of iron-on vinyl (HTV). While iron-on products are getting better and better, the only way to get truly washable, permanent designs without cracking or peeling is with Infusible Ink. Over time and after many washes, you may notice your iron-on designs start to crack or peel. Iron-on vinyl is designed to endure machine washing. ![]() As such, it’s important to remember that you generally get one shot at applying your iron-on designs (but don’t worry, it’s actually easier than you might think!) Is Iron-On Washable?Īgain…generally speaking…yes. Although you can remove it by reactivating (and therefor loosening) the adhesive with heat, any design will most likely leave adhesive residue behind on your project. You can also put iron-on onto non-fabric surfaces such as wood, canvas, corkboard, cardstock and poster board (although the application methods might differ slightly). The primary use for iron-on vinyl is fabric and that includes all varieties such as cotton, polyester, blends, mesh, neoprene, silk, leather, felt, and wool. Specifically, iron-on vinyl will adhere better, withstand machine washing, and be more permanent than its sticky counterpart. Although standard vinyl might stick to fabric temporarily, the best way to add custom designs to t-shirts, onesies, pillows, gift bags, etc is to do so via heat application. Why Use Iron-On Vinyl Instead of Adhesive Vinyl?Īlthough standard adhesive vinyl and iron-on vinyl may look identical on finished products, the primary reason you’d choose the iron-on version is if you’re working with fabric. These days, there are tons of different types of iron-on vinyl, including:Īlthough each product will require different time and temperature settings for optimum adhesion (more on this below), the process for cutting and applying them all is the same. Different manufacturers (e.g., Cricut, Sisser, etc) simply refer to this product by different names and while each brand’s product may slightly vary, any tutorials, tips, and tricks you see for one will apply to the other. What’s the Difference Between Iron-On Vinyl and Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV)?Ībsolutely nothing! Iron-On Vinyl and Heat Transfer Vinyl (also referred to as HTV) are exactly the same product. The vinyl essentially has a heat-activated coating on the back that allows it to permanently transfer to another material. Iron-On Vinyl is exactly what it sounds like…a stretchy, vinyl-like material that you can cut into designs with a Cricut machine and is then adhered to a base (e.g., t-shirt, onesie, pillow) via heat. I can’t wait to demystify this process for you so you can start adding amazing iron-on designs to aaaalll the things! This guide will teach you everything you need to know about cutting and applying Cricut Iron-On Vinyl. And yet…although iron-on vinyl is an easy material to work with, it does require a few important modifications in order for your projects to turn out just right. In recent weeks, I’ve been working with iron-on vinyl a ton! I personally love making heat-fused projects because of the permanent, professional results I can easily get right at home.

This series is notable for its attack team containing both an android member, and, for the first time, a foreigner. His superior, Ultraman Xenon, appears in episodes 13 and 39. He bears many resemblances to Ultraseven, such as his armor and his eye-slugger. Just like his predecessors, Ultraman Max is from Nebula M78 and is supported by DASH (Defense Action Squad Heroes), a branch of the UDF (United Defense Federation). This series does not have any direct continuity to any of the other Ultraman Series (except episode 24: " The Untargeted Town" which seems to be a sequel to the Ultraseven series episode 8: " The Marked Town"). Much like Ultraman: Towards the Future, Max has a strong environmental message: most monster and alien attacks have something to do with the environment.Īlthough certain monsters from the previous Ultraman Series appear here in this series, the characters do not actually recognize them. Two actors from that show appear as themselves. One episode (#29) revolves around the filming of the 1964 program Ultra Q, the first entry in the Ultraman Series. ![]() Many actors (and characters) from previous shows make cameos, most notably professor Yukari Yoshinaga and chief Kenzo Tomioka, who are played by the actors Hiroko Sakurai ( Akiko Fuji) and Susumu Kurobe ( Shin Hayata) from the original Ultraman. ![]() ![]() Insurance products and plan administrative services provided through Principal Life Insurance Co., a member of the Principal Financial Group®, Des Moines, IA 50392.

The late-week rainfall helped to stave off further degradation of drought in upstate areas of the Carolinas and Virginia however, another round of deterioration was warranted across the Coastal Plain of North Carolina and the Virginia Tidewater, as short-term precipitation and soil moisture deficits continue to increase and average stream flows continue to decline. In the days leading up the the end of the week (Tuesday, 6/20), an area of low pressure developed across the Middle Mississippi Valley and began slowly moving eastward, leading to periods of additional rainfall across some of these same areas, in addition to interior and upstate portions of the Carolinas and Virginia. Many areas received more than 5 inches of rainfall as these thunderstorm clusters moved southeastward along a mean frontal boundary. Several rounds of heavy rainfall associated with clusters of thunderstorms warranted improvement to abnormal dryness (D0) and moderate drought (D1) across southern portions of the Deep South from Mississippi to Georgia and into northern Florida. Unfortunately, short-term dryness leading up to this week warranted further degradation of drought and abnormal dryness (D0) across southern New England and the Mid-Atlantic from the I-95 corridor eastward to the Atlantic Coast. Some locations in southeastern Pennsylvania and northern West Virginia also experienced improving drought conditions, associated with a couple of rounds of heavy rainfall, totaling in excess of 2 inches for the week. Several locations in interior portions of the Northeast also received well above normal rainfall totals, leading to improvements in the drought depiction, particularly across northern New England and parts of Upstate New York. Much of the Northeast experienced below average daytime high temperatures this week. Another round of deterioration was warranted again this week across much of the Midwest and eastern Great Plains, where below average precipitation continued to add to precipitation deficits that go back several months. However, much of the Mississippi and Ohio Valleys and the Northeast experienced a mix of worsening and improving drought conditions based on antecedent dryness and where the heaviest rain fell, respectively. Toward the end of the weekend, a slow-moving storm system traversing eastward across the Middle Mississippi and Ohio Valleys resulted in additional periods of heavy rainfall across portions of the eastern U.S. Heavy rain also fell across parts of the Southeast, with many locations across the Deep South receiving in excess of 5 inches of rainfall, leading to improvements to abnormally dry and moderate drought conditions from central Mississippi southeastward to Florida. The only exception was in the northern Cascades in Washington, where below-normal precipitation led to worsening drought conditions. A mean frontal boundary draped across much of the lower 48 states resulted in periods of heavy rainfall across portions of the western Great Plains and Intermountain West, leading to improvements to drought conditions across much of the western half of the lower 48 states. ![]() Large portions of southern Texas experienced excessive heat this week, with daytime high temperatures averaging well above 100☏ for several locations.
