I've done more than a hundred shirts and a couple of bags with this press and have had great results. I have a Cameo and the two are happily compatible. Good luck!

It would work for tea. Loose leaf if you use the plunger. Bagged tea would also work because the plunger assembly completely comes apart. The pieces simply screw together. This is a quality press and works very well.

I have used it for sublimation on poly fabric and it is great for that. I used it to sublimate some ceramic christmas ornaments and broke 2 befor getting it adjusted right. The only negative thing I can say about mine is the adjustment screw binds terribaly and I have to use a wrench to turn it. Im sure if I had the time I could take it apart and fix it.

I don't think this works well with thick fabrics. I tried using it with some thick fabrics and they simply didn't fit through the channel. Since it's metal, there's no give. However, if you're doing potholders, it might be squishy enough to compress and make it through. I've found it to be a really useful foot to have around for other uses though. It works great on everything except thick stuff. Also good to note that it doesn't accept double wide bias tape.

This works equally well as a tea pot, you just measure your fresh loose leaf tea and place it in the container, pour in the hot, not quite boiling water wait a minute or so and apply the press. Makes wonderful tea. Haven't used tea bags at this time but it would probably work well also.

I think the transfers would be ok, I would use extra time when applying heat. Its worth a try. You can always run to Goodwill and buy a practice shirt similar to the one you want to use. Good Luck

Cuts Extremely well... I purchased this to cut 14oz velour as well as banjo cloth and it cut it perfectly. I would highly recommend it for large projects, commercial use, or if you just hate sissors.

Al, Unfortunately our material is not normally compatible with vinyl cutters. We use this material on laser tables, but have not had much luck with other cutters. Please let us know if you have any further questions. Thank you, The StencilEase Team

I don't know the answer to that honestly. It will cut vinyl with the right cutting blade. But I have a feeling it won't cut fabrics. I also have not seen it advertised by cricut at all. Sorry

Yes, put the vinyl on the cutting mat before cutting and then put on the transfer tape. I also looked on you tube to check the settings for my cutting machine.

It's pretty easy to use with fabrics. The main thing is getting it adhered well to the cutting sheet and adjusting the pressure of the cutting blade. They have a extra sticky backing which I bought, but I find the regular adhesive sheet that came with it works well. The extra sticky sheet was too sticky and distorted my light weight fabrics when I tried to pull them off. I use light cottons for appliqu work and it works well cutting easily and accurately. There are good guidelines in the instructions for cutting different items such as different weights of paper and fabrics. Expensive product but I use it often and would definitely buy it again.

You will need to purchase HTV or Heat Transfer Vinyl or Hot Fix Rhinestones. The press comes with a Teflon non stick sheet that you will cover your shirt and design with to make sure you don't have any problems with your materials sticking to the top platen of the press. Start gathering the vinyl now. Keep a list of what kind needs what temp and how long to press. These are just some tips I found useful.

The Propresser Garlic Press works on ginger beautifully peeled OR with the skin on especially on those "little fingers" that can seem too much trouble to peel the skin off first. Simply cut in quarter to half inch slices that fit the basket and press. One recommendation, however, if you need more than one or two tablespoons of pressed ginger, peel the large pieces of ginger before pressing to speed up the process. Saves on cleaning out the ginger skins. For most work, however, you won't need to peel at all. Terrific tool!!!

No, its just a press. You will need to do that by hand or buy a destemmer/crusher.
