The Cricut Minute #29 Let’s talk about combining different types of iron-on vinyl on a single project.
It can be a really creative way to make your project look more interesting, plus it can help use up scraps!
There are a couple of things you want to remember.
1 – Some types of iron-on have to be the top layer.
Meaning: it can get pressed on top of another piece of iron-on,
but nothing should get pressed on top of it. It might not stick at all, or it will be much less durable and peel away after just a few washes.
Examples are foil, patterned and flocked.
2 – Start with the highest temp then move to lower temps.
Meaning: if you have two types of iron-on and one requires a temperature of 340 and another requires 315, start with the 340 piece. When it gets pressed again at 315 it will be fine, but the lower temp vinyl may get damaged at 340.
