Lift the frame and the stencil off your fabric. Results may vary on projects that require repeat passes.ħ.
If repeat passes are required, spread the ink in the same direction. For best results, spread the ink in a single pass. Using the squeegee tool, spread the ink down the stencil in a top-to-bottom direction using a smooth, uninterrupted motion. For best results, be sure to use enough ink to avoid having to make multiple passes. Apply a line of fabric ink horizontally above the stencil spanning the width of the design. NOTE: You should always practice on a spare piece of fabric before you commit the design to your final project to ensure the proper technique and ink usage.ĥ. Place the frame with the silkscreen side facing down onto your fabric. With the silkscreen side facing down, place the frame on top of the completed stencil and secure it into place by folding the edges upward around the frame and securing the stencil with the frame inserts.ģ. Place a thick piece of cardstock under the material you are going to apply fabric ink on to prevent ink from bleeding through.Ĥ. Cut a 2-inch-by-2-inch square from each corner to allow the stencil to be secured in the frame.Ģ. Be sure that the grooves for the frame insert face out.ġ. Assemble the frame by aligning the numbers in each corner and securing the pieces with the provided fasteners. Once cooled, remove the glossy heat transfer liner.ġ. With the heat transfer material glossy side down, place the silkscreen sheet on top and then iron for 20–30 seconds using the standard cotton setting.ħ. Weed away the design (not the negative space) from the heat transfer material in order to create your stencil.Ħ. After the cutting process is over, unload the heat transfer sheet from the cutting machine.ĥ. Adjust the blade if necessary, unless you use the AutoBlade, and click Send.Ĥ. Go to the Send panel, and select “Heat Transfer, Smooth” as your material. Adjust the rollers and press Load Media (Silhouette CAMEO® or Silhouette CAMEO® 2) or just Load if you use Silhouette CAMEO® 3. Load the heat transfer sheet that measures 12 inches by 15 inches directly into the Silhouette cutting machine (glossy side down). To mirror the design, go to the Object menu, select Mirror, and then click Flip Horizontally or you can select the design, right-click it, and choose Flip Horizontally.ģ.
Delete the 7.5-inch-by-10.5-inch rectangle and MIRROR THE DESIGN IN SILHOUETTE STUDIO® BEFORE CUTTING IT. Resize the design so that it fits the 7.5 inch-by-10.5-inch rectangle and center the design according the page (to do that, go to the Transform panel and click the center icon).Ģ. Ensure that your design measures 7.5 by 10.5 inches or smaller in order to fit the silkscreen frame properly.
