- For glitter heat transfer:
- To properly do the layers, you will need to use the slice "gadget" in your Cricut Design Space to slice the layers into each other.
- Sometimes if you're laying down the heat transfer on a shirt for example, and if your design has stripes or something that you're able to cut into pieces, it is sometimes better to line up the design by cutting the stripes into pieces.
- Place the biggest piece of the cut-out on the shirt first and work your way to the smallest piece. This will help with placement so that you know where on the shirt the design will be.
- The reason why you have to slice the design for glitter heat transfer is because since there is glitter on it, the bonding stuff that's on the back won't be able to bond very well which will cause your design to fall off quicker and easier.
- For regular/normal heat transfer:
- You do not need to slice the design in the Cricut Design Space. However, I still sometimes prefer to do it.
- Whenever you layer normal heat transfer and not glitter, you don't have any guidelines really, unless you cut the design like what you would do with glitter heat transfer, so you just have to estimate it.
- The same as the glitter heat transfer, you have to use the biggest piece first because if you put the smallest piece down first you'll have to cover it up.
