I recent received a package from Siser brand (said like”SEE-SIR”) containing some new color offerings of 3 of their heat transfer vinyl (HTV) lines and I’m pumped to try out each of these lines! Today’s post documents my exploration of their Brick 600 line as I received a 12x 20″ sheet of their new gold and silver colors. As of the time of this post, they now have 18 colors of this thick dimensional vinyl, which looks cool once applied!
In the photo above you see the Brick 600 HTV which is 600 microns thick vs their standard EasyWeed vinyl, my favorite to use for iron on uses. I hope you can tell the thickness that this Brick 600 offers and sorry, not sorry, for all the angles I share in the post below to show it off in photo form!
I tried this vinyl out, making a Class of T-shirt for our friend’s son, who’s currently in kindergarten. You may remember this was my go to gift to create for kindergarten friends back when my girls were in that grade and what they typically wear on the last day of school. You can grab the file for free to create any graduation year you need!
Upload the file to Cricut Design Space and attach all the components together. Once sending to cut, make sure to mirror your design as this is HTV! You may also be surprised to learn, that while this is a thick vinyl, I had NO problems using the standard “iron on vinyl” setting on my Cricut Maker and it cut like my Siser EasyWeed vinyl always does!
A fresh blade doesn’t help, either. If you have the same machine as me, I use these cheap 45 degree replacement blades from Amazon so I don’t swapping one out for an important project or one that uses a new, thicker material.
The Siser reputation of beautifully weeded materials continues with the Brick 600! Something to note: the carrier sheet isn’t as sticky as normal HTV as it’s what they tell me is called a “static carrier”. So make sure to be careful when you weed as you won’t be able to easily add it back to your sheet to press. When laying down on your fabric to press, you may want to use additional heat resistant tape to hold the static sheet and your weeded design in place.
I CANNOT get over this dimension!
Place your design on your shirt, lining it up with your t-shirt guide.
Cover with a heat transfer cover sheet or parchment paper and press to adhere. I used my EasyPress at 310 degrees for 20 seconds.
Once cool I was able to easily peel the carrier sheet to reveal a beautifully dimensional design using the Brick 600.
This is just the first and most basic way to use this vinyl but this Siser YouTube video shares 5 ways you can use Brick 600 Heat Transfer Vinyl to create unique techniques for fabric based applications!
