In this blog post you will find three different projects created with all three new Presses. My first project is an iridescent bucket hat using the new Cricut Hat Press. My second project is a sweatshirt using the new Heat Press and the third project is a shirt using the new Cricut Autopress. All with the help of the new Cricut Heat App!
‘Firstly, let’s talk tech. Wow. I am always amazed at the things that Cricut comes up with. This reveal and product release left my jaw ON. THE. FLOOR. Heat presses, apps, new technology?I mean how do they keep coming up with these things? Either way my mind was blown. Even more so, after actually using these for a few months now. Let’s dive in to each machine!
Cricut Hat Press Bucket Hat Project
This tiny, but mighty machine is so impressive. From its size to the curve this machine is magical. I love how the handle is big enough to hold your entire hand. The curve on the heating plate allows you to easily press on hats without ruining or flattening its sides. This machine also comes with a hat insert to help keep your hat size, give you a good grip and not burn yourself.
Project Materials:
Bucket hat
Iron on vinyl of choice.
Hat press and hat insert
Heat tape
Step one: The inside of every hat has a little seam. You’re going to make sure to flip that out and then insert the hat cushion into your hat with the handle facing outward so you can hold it.
Step two: Design/Cut your design of course in Design Space. Peel vinyl backing
Step three: Place design(s) in desired area and use heat tape to secure in place
Step four: Open your heat app and adjust setting to coordinate with your project materials, then send to Hat Press
Cricut Heat Press 9×9 Custom Sweatshirt Project
Similar to its older sis, the new heat press is just about the same. So I know you’re asking why do I need it then? Well, the new Heat Press works with the new Cricut Heat App. This app give you step by step instructions when creating a project. Now I don’t know about you, but I always forget a step. Whether it be lint rollings, setting the time, or simply covering my design… The new Cricut Heat App not only reminds you to do these things, but it also shows you via video in the app. Once all all settings are set In the app, you can then send the instructions to your heat press and watch the magic happen!

Cricut AutoPress with Vinyl Tshirt Project
The most exciting launch for me thus far. Like when I say, this machine is going to blow every single large heat press out of the water… I mean for reals. This machine is something I was not expecting and to me honest using such a machine has NEVER been easier. Now, the price may be a little high coming in at $999, but I promise it’s worth every penny. This machine does the heavy lifting for you. No getting burned, no pressing down, no movements, and it comes with a control panel that comes with heat presets installed and can easily be adjusted. Prepare to me amazed.
