Step 2

Lay the first sheet of Infusible Ink face up on the mat. Make sure that all of your images have been mirrored in Design Space before loading the mat into the machine.

Select Infusible Ink Transfer Sheet as the material you would like to cut and start cutting.

Step 3

Next, weed the Infusible Ink design, leaving just the design on the clear plastic backing sheet.

Step 4

Heat up the Hat Press using the Cricut Heat app, this will send the correct heat settings and time to your Hat Press once you tell it what type of material you are cutting and what type of blank you are using. If you choose to set up your Heat Press manually, heat it up to the hottest three line setting.

Next put the hat onto the hat stay ensuring that the sides of the hat are pulled down tightly over the stay so that you have a solid base to work on.

Step 5

Put the design face down on the front centre of the hat and secure in place using the heat resistant tape.

Step 6

Then cover the design with a sheet of butcher paper. Secure this in place with the heat resistant tape.

Step 7

Start pressing the design with the Hat Press, keeping it moving as you glide it over the Infusible Ink design.

Step 8

Once the design has cooled and the carrier sheet removed, remove the cap from the hat press.

It is now ready to gift and wear!
