This is my first time using HTV and I love it.
Using internet as my guide, I had no problem cutting this vinyl with Silhouette Cameo. Weeding was not too bad either. I used the Silhouette pick tool. Since I don't have a heat press I used an iron on low to mid setting and a piece of parchment paper between the iron and the HTV. I multi-layered my design and the only problem I had is when my top layers backing plastic was touching the bottom vinyl layer. It created an uneven texture on the final product. This was due to the user error, not the product. I tried to avoid that by cutting through the vinyl and the plastic backing sheet so it would not be en issue, but I couldn't get the Silhouette blade settings right to cut through the thickness and I was impatient.
The final product was a toddler thermal shirt with a cute valentine's robot (by Miss Kate Cuttables) holding a heart balloon (also Miss Kate Cuttables). I have washed the shirt inside out the first time with no problems to the design. I used gentle wash cycle with cold water and low heat dry (I wash all my kid's clothes on those settings). Second time I washed it I didn't even bother turning the shirt inside out. Still no problem. The only thing i noticed is the shirt puckering up a little from shrinking. Even though I pre-washed the shirt before making the design, it still wasn't 100% preshrunk - again, user error.
In summary, great product. I only wish the vendor sold more of those multi-packs with different colors. I really don't plan on making enough designs to justify buying multiple large rolls at a time.
UPDATE 03-15-2016: I am still thrilled with the product. Last night I used gold sheet on my knit tee. I wanted to update that I had to use much hotter iron settings this time - all the way on cotton/steam setting (i made sure the iron had no water and was 100% dry). My advice - try a small sample on a separate fabric to get the heat setting right. Also, this HTV does not stretch with fabric, so if you are using a very stretchy knit fabric you might get some puckering up.

Great stuff! A few tips for new users...
I am somewhat new to this and I bought Siser vinyl along with a couple other brands all at the same time a while ago to see what the difference was. Well I can say now, after spending a whole lot of time with vinyl, is that Siser is awesome! I do strongly recommend if you are new to this that you go on YouTube and go to the SiserAmerica page. They have great instructional videos on how to use there brand, because every type of HTV is different and has its own application instructions. I use HTV (vinyl) with an iron for craft projects at home, and it works great. I set my iron to "cotton" (make sure there's no water in the steam chamber), that's approx. 320 degrees which is right for most of my projects. Anything cotton or Poli-Cotton. I also use parchment paper rather than a teflon sheet, because A, its cheaper, and B, I tried a teflon sheet and you cant see through them to know where your pieces are. I cut my vinyl on a Cricut with the preset dials and it cuts through perfectly. And it does indeed weed like a breeze BTW! Siser recommends ironing on a hard surface, so I put a large cutting board down on top of my ironing board first. I make sure to "preheat" the spot I want my vinyl, and hold the iron in one place at a time with strong, steady pressure rather than ironing back and forth. It peels hot or cold, and its forgiving. I look over my projects closely and if any corners or edges aren't down well, I just give them another press. Ive yet to have a piece come apart in the wash, and I make kids clothes and dish towels, so they get washed!! Lastly, these bundles are nice because you get a starter set of colors and its much more affordable than going out and buying them individually. On average, you can get HTV for about $4.00 a sheet (12" x 15") if you buy at least 3 at a time. This bundle is 12 sheets for $28, about $2.25 each.Was my review helpful to you?
