Today we're going to talk about coming up
welcome back everybody so we have some patches that we need to heat press on
some shirts for a client I'm going to give you the specifics let's go ahead
and dive right into this tutorial okay so here are our patches that we are
going to heat press we have our heat press set to 350 at 20 seconds
generally patches call for about a heat press temperature around 325 to four
hundred and fifteen to twenty seconds so this is going to go on what would be
considered the left sleeve so I'm going to set this on the press and by the way
guys we'll leave a link down in the description as to where you can get a
press similar to this they cost around two hundred bucks and it's a affordable
way to get into decorating garments doing vinyl and whatnot so I'm going to
move this up just a little more I want this patch to be two inches down
from the seam and this is one of the harder things to do as sleeves actually
so it's going to take a little more patience a little more time just trying
to get this as flat as possible so that way I am NOT putting any creases into
the garment and I think I may offset this just a little more because we do
have a seam underneath here and we don't want to heat press onto that seam and
I'm just going to tuck the sleeve back underneath the pallet here that will
kind of help just keep this thing from sliding really you got everything nice
and flat on the press here's the seam that we're going to line the patch up to
so I'm going to heat press this for about three seconds
and what that will do is just kind of flatten down our surface and get rid of
any moisture in our garment it's going to take my lint roller real quick just
kind of clean the area where I'm going to heat press the patch because it does
look like this client does have an animal in the house and I'm going to
make sure the orientation of this is correct
and with this particular patch in its location
I wanted to inches down from the scene actually I just double check that it's
going to be two and a half inches down so I'm going to measure two and a half
inches down and it looks like we're just about on the money and I'm just going to
make sure it's nice and centered compared to the scene looks like we can
go over just a touch so now I'm going to heat press this at 350 for 20 seconds
and I'm using a medium to somewhat firm pressure
okay now we're already but now our patch is nice and heat
pressed on I'm gonna let this cool down and I'll definitely be advising our
client not to wash this within a 24 hour time frame so here we go here's the
finished product we got some embroidery in combination with these patches all
heat pressed on and they came out really well when these things are on there
really well and they're not gonna go anywhere thanks for tuning in if you are
