Vinyl Cutter Workshop (Friday Dec 13th 6-8pm)

More pics from the workshop:

Behold! The VHS vinyl cutter…

!
The secret trick to using this is to make sure the vinyl is shiny side down and also that the clips to hold down the vinyl are positioned over the little grippy pads. Also, after you position your vinyl, turn the cutter off and on again so it can run the startup check and figure out where the edges are.

!
Yeung lent us his heat press for the night. VHS has a working heat press which may need adjusted. Yeung plans on running more workshops so hopefully we can borrow his press again until we sort out the VHS one.

This is the vinyl you want to buy for your projects. You can get it at Michael’s. There are also some scraps at the space and a bunch of vinyl Yeung bought for us. Please flip a few bucks into donatio if you use VHS vinyl.

The vinyl Yeung brought to the workshop! Thanks, it was a great night.

If you made a shirt please post a photo on this thread.

Great pictures Janet. After fiddling with the vinyl cutter a bit more, I found a few improvements to the workflow.

First I brought in a vinyl cutting mat for everyone to use. It is good for smaller pieces, just glue it to the sticky part of the mat and feed the entire mat through. It helps with really small piece of vinyl.

Second I also found a few setting that helps with cutting multi colored designs as well as a few things to help with cutting multiples of a single design. Talk to me if you want to do a more complicated design and I will help set you up.

For sure!

I was all kinds of confused when I wrote the first version of that post, I was talking about screenprinting… which is not what this was about. I edited it to be a bit more accurate yesterday. :slight_smile:
