I still have difficulty removing the transfer tape once the transfer is in the item. Also I don't find it easy for the image to adhere to the transfer tape. Am I doing anything wrong??

[rosymartinez]

I have gone through many cricut videos. I liked yours straight to the point not long and got the info I need.

I had to use Strong Grip because the regular one wasn’t working at all for smaller projects.

[hadleykimm]

thank you! i was struggling so much and after you showed me the tip to flip it over it helped SO much!!

I didn’t realize there was such thing a Strong Grip Transfer Paper. No wonder I was having so much trouble with the Metallic Foil Vinyl. It wouldn’t stick to the transfer paper.

Any tips for getting the design to stick to transfer tape? I have used the rubbing tool till it smells like the tool is burning lol all to lift up the tape and nothing sticks!! Help!!!

Thank you so much for the great tips! Truly helped me transfer my first vinyl cut with ease.

Do you have any advice on removing the backing from the transfer tape? I usually find it very stubborn. I normally bend a corner back and forth until it starts to separate and I can pull it apart. But, getting that initial separation is annoying. Any tips? Thanks.

How do you get the stickiness of the transfer tape off the vinyl

[tinaaxx]

Hi how do you layer the words? How do you weld letters? Im having trouble welding on my phone with my cricut joy

[bonnieh]

The best simple guide for cricut. Thank you!

Can I use this to apply designs to shirts as well? 🤔

[migoalaso]

Will transfer tape work with printable vinyl sticker paper or will the ink come off.

[beckymitschele]

How do you create a clear/transparent label? I thought I could print on the transfer tape but that seems now like it will not work. I can't find a smart vinyl label that is clear (i.e. nonwhite) for the cricket joy.

[melissapaniagua]

I am trying to do this but adding it to a canvas, why won’t my design transfer to it?

[alyxedits]

I actually have a question. When I try to stick the vinyl+the transfer paper onto my objection putting it on, it won’t stick. The transfer paper is to sticky for the vinyl. Any advice?

[juliemarquis]

Does transfer tape work on non-vinyl cut materials??? (cardstock paper?)
