How to Apply Flex Film – Step by Step

What you'll need:

• Silhouette Flex Film (in your preferred color and finish),
• a cutting plotter (e.g. Silhouette Cameo),
• a heat press or iron (preferably with adjustable temperature),
• the fabric to decorate (e.g. a cotton T-shirt).

Step 1: Create Your Design

Create your design using your cutting software. Remember to mirror the artwork before cutting, as it will be applied face down.

Step 2: Set Up the Plotter and Cut

Place the film on the cutting mat with the glossy carrier side facing down. Adjust the cutting settings according to your plotter model and the film thickness. Then cut your design.

Step 3: Weed the Excess Film

Remove the unwanted vinyl using a weeding tool. Only the desired design should remain on the transparent carrier sheet.

Step 4: Prepare the Fabric

Lay the fabric on a flat surface and pre-press it briefly to remove wrinkles and moisture. Make sure the fabric is clean and dry.

Step 5: Position the Design

Place the design onto the fabric with the carrier sheet facing up (glossy side on top).

Step 6: Heat Press

Apply heat using a heat press or an iron (without steam). Follow the manufacturer's recommended temperature, pressure, and pressing time.

Step 7: Remove the Carrier Sheet

Wait a few seconds and carefully peel away the carrier sheet. Your custom transfer is complete!

It is not recommended to apply Flex Film to highly stretchable, silk, or very thin fabrics without first performing a test application.
