I wash and dry them and have only rarely had issues with the design peeling. The Cricut care instructions are as follows, however I will tell you I wash all my iron-on shirts regularly with our normal laundry. Which is all the more reason to get a Cricut Easy Press which is the best way to know what temperature the heat is and if you’re applying iron-on vinyl correctly. I think it depends on how well it’s applied in the ironing process. I’ve had others where little edges would start to pull off. I have had kids shirts that I made with vinyl that were washed weekly last for the lifetime of the shirt.
Iron-on vinyl lasts surprisingly well if it’s applied correctly. Foil iron-on must be cold peeled, trust me I made the mistake of trying to peel it while it was warm and it makes the foil wrinkly and totally messes it up! Let it cool! Let the graphic completely cool before you peel off the clear plastic liner.I love my Cricut Easy Press! To make sure you have the right Easy Press settings always check the Cricut Heat Guide which will let you choose your materials and then tell you what temperature to set the heat press to. Use a Cricut Easy Press to apply the design.Pre-heat the shirt for 10-30 seconds before pressing the vinyl into the shirt, this helps speed up the adhesion process.If you’re using a Maker choose Foil Iron-On in the menu. Machine settings: If you are using the Cricut Explore move the dial to “custom” material and choose Foil Iron-On from the drop down material menu.If that doesn’t work you can use masking tape to tape down the edges. Try using a spatula or side of a ruler to rub it into the mat. Having trouble with the vinyl sticking to the cutting mat? You might have an older mat.The back of the vinyl will be facing you, it’s usually white. Place foil liner side down onto the cutting mat.Make sure the fine point blade is in the machine.When you use iron-on it’s so important to click that toggle for mirror image to ON. Always Mirror the image before cutting.
Don’t use fabric softener when pre-washing the garment. This can help with the longevity of the vinyl. There are a few things you should know when working with this material.
