A few weeks ago, I started actively looking for a suitable crafting table. Over the years, I’d looked at them; however, this time, I started researching them again to purchase one within a few months. I knew that I still wanted a table that was collapsible so that I could put it away when not in use.
I found the Folding Multipurpose/Sewing Table Craft Table Sturdy Computer Desk by Sew Ready on Amazon. Awesome! Sew Ready is the same brand I’d looked at for crafting tables three years ago. I added it to my Wishlist, knowing I would come back and purchase that desk by Spring. This morning, I decided to log onto Amazon, and I was pleasantly surprised to discover that it was 33% off! What cost a little over $170 when I added it to my Amazon Wishlist was now $119. You better believe I bought that desk. It should arrive this Tuesday, which I think is perfect timing. I have several projects that I want to complete, some involve sewing, and that desk will come in handy.
This morning, I sublimated a cotton shirt using A-Sub Sublimation Paper and Siser EasySubli™ HTV.
Siser HTV allows me to print onto shirts that are mostly polyester. By the way, the glossy side goes down. This is because you print on the rough/matte side. Also, you need to peel off the sheet located on the shiny side of the HTV. What are my thoughts? Done correctly, it’s fabulous. I did experience ghosting on the first EasySubli; however, that was my fault since I did not prep the area before adding the EasySubli. I sort of like the look of it since it has the illusion of a smoky background; however, it’s not something I plan to repeat if I can help it. The next sublimation I did was much better. I used the same image. However, I did see a few flaws, and I believe it’s because my Cricut EasyPress was too hot. I only have three sheets left. Ai Yi Yi! I ordered more Siser EasySubli™ HTV, which should arrive sometime this week. It must be trending; I’ve had a time finding it anywhere. Thankfully my hunting was successful, and I found it at ProWorld. It’s my first time purchasing from that company.
I’ll have to take pictures of my first two sublimation efforts. Although I made mistakes, I’m delighted that I’m finally starting sublimating.
