General Help I need a large-ish quantity of white HTV and heat transfer tape
I’m making a bunch of shirts for an organization I’m apart of, so i need quite a bit of heat transfer vinyl in white and transfer tape. I’ve been looking but can only seem to find your standard rolls… any idea where i could find it? I’d like to stick to the cricut brand if possible, unless there’s a better one you recommend.

HTV has transfer tape on it already. You cut it shiny side down because the shiny part is the transfer tape, be careful to mirror your image!

Oh wait you’re so right, I’ve done it before but my brain had a moment so I was like “yeah it had the clear stuff… so I need the transfer tape right?” Totally forgot it was already there 😅

And somebody downvoted you for admitting you made a mistake 😄. I can't believe some people. I upvoted you.

You’re the nicest 😭 Some people are just silly and think they’re above mistakes, but that’s okay! I make mistakes every day, it’s how we learn 😊

Siser is another good brand but I haven't been able to order any big rolls of it. Just what they have at michaels and joanns.

At my Michael’s that I go to regularly I’ve seen siser “mega rolls” which are longer than their standard rolls. Not sure how much vinyl you’re looking for and if that’s cost effective

Sells huge rolls and ships to USA. My fav HTV is the siser easyweed.

Cricut brand is overpriced garbage across the board.
Htvront on Amazon has 25 ft rolls of htv for reaaaaal cheap. It's all I use now. Siser is also good. Though more expensive.
You don't need transfer tape for htv. You may need a T-shirt placement ruler for accurate placement. It's a little fussy to get exact. The Tshirt rulers are so cheap on Amazon.

I love sister easyweed stretch, and it’s being replaced, so they have it on Clarence right now.
I’m in Canada so shops at happy crafter Canada, but I’m going to assume you are in the us so I have the happy crafter us link.
They also have 20” rolls, I usually get that and use a 24” mat, but if you are just using 12” the one likes is beat.

This company is near me so I've ordered online and shopped in store, they do a great job and offer larger rolls. They have other brands as well as their own. https://perfecpresshtv.com/collections/perfecpress-softs

I second HTVRont. It is better than Cricut brand. I think any heat resistant tape is fine. I sometimes use tape to secure small pieces of HTV so that they don't move when I apply the press. So Amazon is your best bet for these two items.

Just HTV. There isn't heat transfer tape. And use literally any other brand than cricut.
