Step 7

Now prep your mat.

Start by cutting strips of heat resistant tape slightly longer than the width of your design.

Lay these on the mat, sticky side up.

About 5 strips will do. Use a brayer to help if needed.

Step 8
Cut your scrap iron-on vinyl to ½” strips, make sure they are slightly longer than the design at around 4”.
