CRICUT EASY PRESS PAD UPDATE

Okay Crafter's

 I got my Easy Press Mat that I was waiting on from Michael's.  I actually got it soon after I posted the Easy Press Review. I have finally tried the Mat and can say it worked wonderfully.  No moisture left in the fabric after doing the preheat.  Be mindful that the mat does not work on both sides.  One side expressly tells you that it should be down.  I don't know what if anything happens if you use the mat on the wrong-side, but let's hope I never have to find out.

If you've gotten the Easy Press, instead of trying to figure out what cotton towels to use to cover your surface, just get the mat.  I see that their are pressing pad out there that people use, but I haven't tried them, and for right now I will stick with the Easy Press Mat.  You may want to keep a look out for when Circut products are on sale at your local big-box craft store.

CRICUT EASY PRESS REVIEW

Hey Crafter's

I got the new Cricut Easy Press and figured I tell you my initial thoughts.  Okay here goes . . . WOW!  I don't have room for a heat press in my space so this seemed like a good compromised.  The footprint of this 9 x 9 surface is great, and it stores easily on my little rolling cart.

Now I have done iron-on with the regular iron before and oh my goodness did I struggle to have consistency with getting the iron-on to stay down.  With the Easy Press I did the project that comes with the machine, glitter iron-on and then did another project on an apron.  The machine did not take as long as the book said to heat up, in fact it was under five minutes and it was beeping at me that it was ready to begin.  Since I used two types of iron-on I had to reset the temperature and it did not take long for the machine to adjust.

I do hate the fact that they tell you that you should have the Cricut mat for this machine, but the mat was not available to order from Cricut when I first got my machine.  Ugghh.  I wanted to try the machine out right away so I  had a heat resistant mat on top of my butcher block and then some folded cotton material on top of the mat.  I then purchased a replacement heat press mat from Amazon and it worked well. 

After getting the heat press mat, I now see that the Cricut mat has been released.  Michael's had it on sale online for $14.99 so I got one.  I am now waiting for that to arrive, and I'll let you know how that works after I try it out.

Let me know if you have an Easy Press I would love to here your story.

HAPPY CRAFTING
