I've learned a lot with this video. So very much to learn. My husband was inspired his self by this video. He wanted me to see if I could go to an actual class and do these projects...lol! I thought of how inspiring he was by watching this video with me. Thank you Jennifer for making these video's. It's helped me so so very much!

When I first started, I printed “coloring book” pages on my Cricut then colored them in! Worked great. There are also sublimation paint that also works great!

You are such a GREAT teacher! You are my go to.. I learn so much from you, and about so many things! Thank you Jennifer! 😊

This was really great! Even though I can't sublimate right now I learned a lot for when I can. The two tips that really help are do not use Teflon sheets when sublimating and only use the blue heat tape for sublimation.

Thank you so much for sharing your wealth of information about all the things. I'm new to all of this, trying to make time in my life for a hobby and don't have time to learn by making multiple mistakes. I'm making my way through every single one of your videos. You are the voice I go to when searching for an answer. THANK YOU for the content you are providing!

Wow! This was such a good tutorial on sublimation. I took tons of notes. Love the idea about keeping a notebook to log what works, etc.😊

[jillenehamill-wilson]

Thank You for showing mistakes! It makes me feel better about what I’m doing 😊

Jennifer I love you and your videos. I have saved so many to watch later but am just now starting to have time to watch them from beginning to end while taking notes. I learned so much from this video. I have decided that you will be that person whom I will primarily follow for my projects. You videos are so informative and user friendly. I had already subscribed to your channel but just hit the notification bell so I can stay on top of upcoming classes and new projects. Thank you so much!!

Thanks Jennifer. Looking forward to the weekend. Didn’t realize there was a difference between butcher paper and parchment paper in project results.

Thank you! I have just found your wonderful Videos. I hate I missed your maker academy event. I am brand NEW with sublimation. Just purchased printer and heat press. Looking forward to creating new items. Thanks I have learned so much from you already.

[sandrahoover]

[debbier]

thank you Jennifer, I learned some things new too.

I've just been online shopping for the pens, and it looks like they dry out very quickly, before even being used. Have you had this problem, and if not, how did you store them, so they wouldn't dry out? I'm just starting this video, so I will probably have more questions, as I go along. I REALLY appreciate all the things you have taught me, so far.

Jennifer if I buy the Epson sublimation printer can I use it for everyday printing too or can I not use it for both . Also I had bought the lifetime membership for maker academy but it isn't coming up in my list of everything I bought from you

[rustyneuron]

I can attest to the fact Epson Ecotanks MUST be printed on every 3 days or you end up with clogged heads; then you have to buy a cleaning kit, disassemble you printer, and use a syringe and rubber tubing to meticulously clean each head.
