We just bought our first clamshell heat press that came with minimal instructions and were not sure how to use it. After watching this video we are now extremely confident and can't wait to put it to use! Thank you so very much!

Omg, my husband bought me a heat press about 2 years ago during covid I was so overwhelmed and didn't know how to start. Your information is os helpful. I am now ready to start projects. Thank you so much

[thoughtstreamconvos]

Just so you know...I am in love with you!! This was beyond thorough and I now have much less trepidation about buying and using my 1st heat press. You are a treasure to the HTV freshman class! ❤️

[juliefung]

Amazing video! May I ask which Brand of Heat Press you're using in the video? Also, which printer did you use to print the design on the vinyl? Thank you so much for your help! :)

[elizabethlloyd]

7:14 why are we this far in and talking about BUYING A MACHINE?? When it is how to USE the heat press we already have

[karenschuback]

Oh and I LOVE how you can scroll through the video and it has headings on the topic you’re talking about so you know exactly where to stop. Sensational!

[amberlindsey]

I am so glad you mentioned that about the table height. I have broken my back and now have long lasting problems from that. I had an easy press because I could lift it without problems. I finally have a permanent place to store a full size heat press. I was a little worried about the difficulty of kicking it on place so I will make sure to try out a lower table.

[karenschuback]

You are AMAZING! This was so informative for a beginner. I had no idea how to do the pressure test or to fold the substrate to find the middle seam. Thank you so much!

[amberallen]

I’m very interested in starting to make t shirts, towels or anything else with a press. This was super informative. One question, what do you use to create the heat transfers?

[devdive]

26 mins for this? Srsly, could be done in 10 mins tops.

[tiffanya]

good video. I just subscribed. I made teflon heat press pillows for 2 years for a friend of mine in the heat press industry. He retired. The same guy just sold me his heat press (15x15), a Cameo 3 cutter with Bluetooth, a Cricut Easy Press heat press ( the 12x10 size) i guess you'd call it " hand held" and a bunch of vinyl . I already made a design and applied it to a practice shirt no problem, I'm so excited about this. Lots to learn : )

[FANCYHUH]

The clam shell machine i bought keeps shutting off. Any pointers on what's going on?

[Monkeydluffy]

Thank you for all the videos. I've been looking at all the others and didn't learn a damn thang lol. You must been sent by GOD. Now i can stop crying and having a breakdown. Thank you again. Your the best you do awesome work

[cindyjojo]

I have a small business about the heat press stuff on instagram and youtube but, I just saw this video a wanted to watch. GOOD JOB!

[sophiaroy]

I am researching different heat presses, I have an easy press but its time to upgrade to something a little more practical for me. Making T Shirts for a hobby went into a small business. I've watched a few videos on different heat presses and this is by far my favorite. I never comment on videos but You got to the point and kept my attention the whole time! Thank you!!

[terryalexander]

I'm looking to buy a clam shell heat press. I was wondering what make and model yours is in this video. The video was very informative. Thank you.

[kimlock]

You're just adorable and I love your tutorials! Thank you for sharing your knowledge. :)

This is by far the best video I have watched, well explained with the heat press machine. Now I'm just having a headache on which heatpress to choose from
