:toolbox: What You’ll Need
• HTVRONT Heat Transfer Vinyl (HTV)
• Your iCraft cutting machine
• Cutting mat
• Weeding tool
• Heat press or household iron
• T-shirt (cotton or cotton blend works best)
• Teflon sheet or parchment paper

:scissors: STEP 1: Prep Your Design
1. Upload your design into your cutting software.
2. Resize it to fit your shirt (usually 10–12 inches wide for adults).
3. Mirror/flip the design horizontally
(This step is CRUCIAL for HTV—skip it and your words will come out backward like a mirror-world mishap :mirror:).

:safety_pin: STEP 2: Load Your HTV
1. Place your HTVRONT vinyl shiny side DOWN (carrier sheet down).
2. Smooth it onto your cutting mat.
3. Load the mat into your iCraft machine.

:gear: STEP 3: Cut Settings
• Material: Heat Transfer Vinyl / Iron-On
• Blade: Standard blade
• Pressure: Medium (adjust if needed)
• Speed: Moderate

:point_right: Do a test cut first (tiny corner or shape) to avoid wasting vinyl.

:herb: STEP 4: Weed Your Design
1. Remove excess vinyl carefully.
2. Keep only the design (letters + wings).
3. Use your weeding tool to peel out small details.

Think of this step like sculpting—you’re revealing the art hiding in plain sight :art:

:fire: STEP 5: Prep the Shirt
1. Preheat your shirt for 5–10 seconds to remove moisture and wrinkles.
2. Lay it flat and smooth.

:tshirt: STEP 6: Position Your Design
1. Place your weeded design shiny carrier sheet facing up.
2. Center it on your shirt (about 2–3 inches below the collar for adult tees).

:hotsprings: STEP 7: Heat Press

For HTVRONT HTV:
• Temperature: 305°F (150°C)
• Time: 10–15 seconds
• Pressure: Medium to firm

:point_right: Cover with Teflon sheet or parchment paper before pressing.

:snowflake: STEP 8: Peel
• Let it cool slightly (warm peel works best for most HTVRONT vinyl).
• Slowly peel off the carrier sheet.

If anything lifts, press again for a few more seconds.

:lock: STEP 9: Final Press
• Cover again and press for 5–10 seconds to lock it in.
• This step gives it that “factory-made” finish :muscle:

:soap: Care Tips
• Wait 24 hours before washing
• Wash inside out, cold water
• No bleach
• Tumble dry low or air dry

This is such a lovely design! It looks like you used HTV (heat transfer vinyl) to apply it to the shirt, rather than adhesive vinyl. Just a heads-up — adhesive vinyl is usually used on hard surfaces like mugs, cups, coasters, or wood. You might want to update your instructions to reflect HTV, so it’s clearer for anyone following along.
