Hi guys, it's Jessica with ExpressionsVinyl.com and today I want to talk to you about heat transfer pillows, why you would want to use them and what they are.

So heat transfer pillows have a foam cushiony inside.

And then the outside is a non-stick material that you can use either with a heat press or an iron. And that material can withstand the heat of those.

The reason why you'd want a heat press pillow is if you're pressing something that has a zipper, or snaps, or thick seams it's nice to have something for those to cushion into. If you've got a little bag with a zipper if you were to press that without the pillow that zipper's gonna add some bulk. And you're not gonna get a nice flat surface when you're pressing.

So this heat press pillow provides a cushion for the zipper to sink into. Same with these snaps and buttons, you want somewhere for those to go because they add quite a bit of bulk and your vinyl's not gonna sit nice and smooth and get all the press that it needs.

Same thing with sweatpants. It's got a thick seam, and if you were doing like a hip design it's got a lot of thickness there to combat. So, if you slid a pillow in between your project, it's going to provide a nice soft place for the seam to sink into and give you a nice flat surface when you're pressing.

So, we've got these pillows in a few different sizes.

A six by eight, and it's good for onesies or little bags. We've also got this one that's a five by 18.

It's nice for sleeves, and pant legs. And we also have all the way up to 16 by 20. So if you have like a big sweatshirt, or T-shirt you were doing that had pocket seams, or a V-neck, you could slip that in too.

If you guys do things with buttons. Even like a nice mens button down shirt if you're putting a logo on it. You don't want to combat those buttons with the bulk. So, pressing pillows are nice to give it a cushiony softness, and make it nice and smooth to sink into.
