In both descriptions it indicates to place the transfer part (color) on the cutting mat. Is it correct? The blade should cut the transfer part, leaving the support intact, as shown in the following images.

The transfer part is not the colored part.

Here are instructions on how to use HTV from the Cricut website.

Preparation

  1. Pre-wash fabric base materials without fabric softener to pre-shrink and remove chemicals that may prohibit strong adhesion.
  2. Recommended: To verify cut setting, perform a test cut using a small basic shape.
  3. Recommended: To verify application setting, apply test cut in an inconspicuous area on the base material.
  4. Find your pressing surface. If it’s firm, flat, and around waist high, you’re golden. Be sure to avoid flimsy ironing boards.

Design, cut, and weed

Note: Value Iron-On can be used in multi-layer designs. It can be applied on top of other Value Iron-On, or you can use it as base layers for other types of Iron-On. Keep this in mind as you create your design.

  1. Select and size your design in the software. Be sure to Mirror your mats in Design Space before cutting.
  2. Select Value Iron-On from the list of materials.
  • If using a Cricut Explore Air 2 or older machine, turn Smart Set Dial to Custom.
  1. Place Iron-on sheet, liner side down, onto Cricut StandardGrip cutting mat.
  2. Load it into the machine and cut your design.
  3. When the cut is complete, weed your image.

Apply

Note: For precise time and temperature settings for your project, always refer to our online Heat Guide or Cricut Heat app (for Cricut EasyPress 3 and Cricut Hat Press). Depending on your base material and heat-transfer material choice, settings will be unique for every project.

  1. Preheat base material as instructed in our Heat Guide or Cricut Heat app (for Cricut EasyPress 3 and Cricut Hat Press).
  2. Place the cut design on the base material with the shiny liner side up. Apply heat as instructed (see Heat Guide or Cricut Heat app).
  3. Slowly remove liner when cool to the touch.

Tip: In most cases, the liner adhesive will hold your design in place during transfer. However, if needed (as when using Cricut Hat Press or Cricut EasyPress Mini), use Heat Resistant Tape to secure your design in place.

Note: If using a household iron, use the Cotton/Linen setting (generally the highest temperature setting). Make sure the steam setting is OFF. Preheat the application area of your base material for 10-15 seconds. Place the weeded image, liner side up, onto the preheated material. Apply medium pressure with the iron for 25-30 seconds. Flip the material over and apply medium pressure with the iron to the back of the material for an additional 25-30 seconds. Use a cool peel to remove the liner.
