    Step 2:
    Bring SVG design “All Good In The Trailerhood” into your cutting machine program. Cut design and resize to fit the application area of your t-shirt. A woman’s XL t-shirt was used in this tutorial and design was resized to 10”h x 11” w.

    Step 3:
    Flip horizontally ( mirror image) your cut design.
     **You should always mirror your image when applying heat transfer/iron on vinyl to t-shirts, tote bags, etc. Flipping the design horizontally will mirror your image so that it appears backward from what it should look like when your project is finished.

    Step 4:
    Prepare vinyl for cutting
    Place your vinyl atop your cutting mat shiny side down.( plastic sheeting) finger press to adhere to mat. **The plastic sheeting acts as the transfer agent when applying to t-shirt. Load in to your cutting machine. Adjust your cut setting to heat transfer. Do a test cut and make any necessary adjustments. Cut vinyl. When cutting is complete, unload from cutting machine. Weed design for a decal by peeling away all unwanted vinyl until you are left with just your design.

    Step 5:
    Flip over the decal. Position and center atop your t-shirt. If needed, first iron press your t-shirt to remove any wrinkles.  Follow manufacturer’s instructions for the heat transfer/iron on vinyl purchased. Set iron to linen setting. Place your pressing cloth on top of plastic sheeting. Iron press 15-20 seconds per sections of design.
