Easy Press Mat 12x12 for Cricut Easypress 3/2/Cricut Easypress Mat Heat Press Mat for Craft Vinyl Ironing Insulation Transfer

This was good

Used multiple times, never had an issue. Perfect replacement for the cricut brand one.

I bought this heat pillow as a surface to do smaller work, but it is too squishy for ironing smaller work (like with a mini heat press iron). Im new to htv and cutting machines and figured it was simply supposed to be difficult to press with enough force. Then I got a different heat pillow included with a new iron and it is much firmer which is more of what you need for the firm pressing you need for htv. If you need this item for larger work and use some of the larger irons, this will work great! Using a smaller iron makes the surface puff up around your work, though and it can be difficult to get the proper pressure without slipping your htv or iron-on. It would also be an excellent piece to put inside of an item to protect any liners or htv you may place elsewhere (ie htv on both the front and back of a shirt). For the small pencil cases I was doing with smaller design work and a small iron surface, it was very tricky to get the items ironed on properly. If you use an iron that is at least 6x6 inches, then this may do the trick. Otherwise I would recommend getting a more conventional heat press pillow.

So easy to use & it is labeled which side stays down. I love mine!

Does exactly what youd expect it to. Keeps your work area safe and works great with the heat press. Its light and simple for easy storage.

Perfect for use with the Easypress Mini!

Easy to use worth the money! Yea better than using a towel!

So far so good.

Works great for heat transfer vinyl projects.

I dont know if the Cricut version of this is better, but this pad seems to move around and it doesnt necessarily retain the heat. The first time I used it, I set it on my cut mat. The heat warbled the mat (it straightened when it cooled) and it was disappointing. It also gets pretty hot to the touch. The Cricut heat press gets VERY HOT. I ended up sewing a thin piece of cork board between two pieces of felt to place under the pad so it doesnt damage furniture or my cutting mat. Its not worth the extra step.
