From the dull side of the material, use Weeder tool, tweezers, or your fingers to gently lift and peel away unwanted material from liner. Your cut design should remain on liner. When finished, your design will appear backwards and be free of any unwanted pieces.
Place Heat Press Mat (or towel) on a hard, stable surface. Position design where you want it, clear carrier sheet (shiny side) face up.
Place Cricut Heat Press over entire design for 30 seconds, applying consistent, firm pressure.
Let design cool for 1 minute, then carefully peel liner away from T-shirt. If design lifts, press liner back over design and repeat pressing steps, especially around edges. Repeat as necessary.
Let design cool, then peel liner away again.
