So to be clear . . . you press a clear vinyl onto the faux leather then you press the sublimation image onto that vinyl. You're not pressing directly onto the faux vinyl?

HI Michelle what was the first blank sheet you put down? Does that have to be done first or could you just use the sublimation sheet?

[Michael-pgrv]

Is this leather PU? Does this wear off with heavy use?

[layhooks]

will the image crack over a long period of time ?

[melissacann]

Can this method also work for sublimating onto regular glitter notebook covers?

[kelliebruner]

Your faux leather looks like it is still soft and pliable after sublimating, mine seems to stiffen up some and curl at the edges? Any idea what I am doing wrong? I use htvront sub vinyl and press for 15-20 seconds on like 380 then heat press sub design on 380 for 50 seconds

Thank you for sharing and keeping short and to the point. Do you have videos on sublimation on leather earrings?

[ClaireNicole-ycnv]

Hello. I’ve been trialing sub on faux leather with different processes. That is working but they always seem to press with some sort of a blur or daze. Any thoughts or suggestions?! Thanks so much!! ❤️🥰❤️

[barbaranewman]

Not sure about the faux leather, it seems to melt to a skinny nothing when I apply the sublimation HTV to it. Is there a specific faux leather you used that was thick enough to with stand that heat? I wonder if lamination applied to faux leather would work just as well.

[deannemudford]

You make it look so easy. My carrier is not easy to peel off and feels tacky or sticky. Is that right? And blisters underneath so when i sublimate on top it looks like cracks :(

[jilliej]

Sublimation vinyl over faux letter? Like. What kind of sublimation vinyl do I put on top of faux leather? Use white HTV?

[SpivJams]

That’s awesome! Does any of the texture of the faux leather come through the HTV or does the HTV make it totally smooth?

[AlyssaSullivan]

Guess my PU isn't actual PU bc this temp melted mine xD

[lorijoturner]

Can you share what faux leather you use and where to get it?

[ktme]

How does the image look now that it's a couple months old?
