How to install Cricut Smart Iron-On

• Design and cut: Create or select your design in the Cricut software, set the material to Smart Iron-On, and cut. Remember to mirror the design before cutting so the final placement on fabric reads correctly after transfer.
• Weed: Remove the excess material, leaving only the design on the clear transfer sheet. Take time to weed small details carefully to ensure the final image remains intact.
• Preheat and position: Lightly preheat the fabric for 2–5 seconds to remove moisture and wrinkles. Position the design face down on the garment with the carrier sheet facing up, ensuring alignment is correct.
• Press: Apply heat with a household iron or EasyPress at approximately 315–325°F (157–163°C) for 10–15 seconds per section, using even, firm pressure. Avoid sliding the iron; press straight down for best results. For larger designs, press in sections and cover with a heat-safe sleeve or a parchment sheet if needed.
• Bond and cool: Peel the carrier sheet while the material is still warm for best adhesion, or allow to cool slightly if needed and re-press any areas where the design did not fully transfer. Let the project cool completely before washing to ensure a secure bond.
• Care and maintenance: After transfer, wait at least 24 hours before washing. Turn garments inside out, wash in cold water, and tumble dry on low. Avoid high heat directly on the transfer for prolonged periods.
