Tools and Supplies to Make it:
- Sawgrass SG500 or SG1000 Printer
- Sawgrass VersiFlex Inks
- VersiFlex Light Paper
- Flat Heat Press
- Nylon Cross Body Bag
How to Make It:
- For this project, we are using a cross body bag we picked up at a local craft store
- In the Sawgrass Print Utility, we chose Natural Fabrics for the product.
- We printed this on 8.5″x 11″ VersiFlex Light paper
How to Press It:
- Turn on your press on and set the temperature to 375F (191C) degrees
- If you see any dust, lint roll your print area to make sure your surface is clean.
- Place your fabric on the press and line the paper up on top as you place it on the product.
- Cover with blow out paper.
- Press the fabric for 30 seconds at VERY HIGH pressure.
- When finished, remove the fabric from the press and peel the paper off as quickly as possible.
Tips & Tricks:
- Pressing works best when the surface is as flat as possible. For a product like this purse, remove all accessories you can and then place a pressing pillow in the bag to make the surface as even as possible.
- When deciding what material to choose in the Sawgrass Print Utility, the decision depends on what paper you need to use. Whether the fabric is natural or synthetic, if it is not 80% or more polyester, you will choose Natural Fibers and use the VersiFlex Light Paper.
