Cricut Hat Press works in harmony with the Cricut Heat app by sending precise time and temperature settings to your press from your phone via Bluetooth. A straight ruler makes it hard to really see where the image will hit when it is curved around the front of the hat. You do still want to make sure the sweatband is out so you have a smooth surface once you get your hat on.

Following the steps in the Cricut Heat App will help you create beautiful, permanent, flawless transfers that you don’t have to worry about EVER lifting from the hat.I got a little bit carried away and touched one of the pieces with the hat press while I was pressing another one. I did have to press a little longer to get the edges all the way around but other than that I don’t feel like the larger size was that big of a deal. The elegant design of this press maximizes usable surface area for heat transfer while its natural curves minimise potential of touching dangerous areas.

Integrating it with the Cricut heat app on my iPad meant that, rather than getting the vinyl peeling off the hats to which I applied it, the vinyl now sticks like a limpet. You’ll first press the power button to turn your hat press on and then press it again to pick your temp settings. Cricut Hat Press combines a patent-pending curved heat plate with a versatile hat pressing form for a seamless hat making experience.A down payment may be required and payment options depend on your purchase amount, are subject to an eligibility check and other exclusions, and may not be available in all states. For best results with Cricut Hat Press, ensure the hat blank can fit smoothly over the hat pressing form, so you have a firm pressing surface – any bumps or air pockets between the hat and pressing form will result in unwanted transfer effects. It is also recommended that you place your design no closer than half an inch from the bill of the hat.
