Can you iron vinyl onto fleece.

That s why i stick to materials with texture. Whatever your fleece project may be aimed at there are a few things that you must always keep in mind when pressing on fleece. Place the iron on shiny side down on the light grip mat and make sure you click on mirror image before you begin the cut. That said i have also used regular heat transfer vinyl on a fleece throw and it turned out perfectly fine.

You can use flat heat transfer vinyl but it may look a bit bumpy with the fleece underneath. Look for a garment with low pile. If you still aren t seeing results you can turn up the heat on your iron a small amount. Since heat transfer vinyl adheres to the garment fibers if the pile is high or uneven the htv is less likely to adhere closely and could be more susceptible to lifting.

I cut this out on a cricut maker but all cricut machines cut iron on vinyl so it will work with any machine. If you start pressing vinyl or a similar fabric with a thicker press cloth like a fleece or flannel and you aren t getting results try switching press cloths before changing the heat on your iron. Use a thicker htv. Both look great and hold up well on fleece.

They will tell you that the fibers will be melted by the heat of the iron. You just have to take certain precautions use the right setting on your iron. Yes you can iron on fleece. I ve used both flocked heat transfer vinyl and glitter iron on vinyl successfully.

Follow the prompts in cricut design space to cut the image out. The project in this post was a special request for a special graduate i used a no sew blanket kit. But as long as you take the proper precautions you should be able to get rid of the wrinkles in your fleece.
