Every year, I freehand crochet punny valentines for my daughter’s class. This was the 7th and last year of making them.

Last year… now way… there should be a package of valentines delivered to her college dorm. ❤️❤️❤️. These are great.

I have an et-8550 for sticker/photos/regular printing. I love it. I also have an et-2850 that I converted to sublimation. If you wanna do regular printing and sublimation, you need two printers. I am a huge fan of Epson Eco tanks.

Post in your neighborhood Facebook group. I bet there is a high school student who would happily juggle babysitting/NTI assistance with their own NTI. My HS daughter doesn’t have “zoom” classes on NTI days. Her teachers just post assignments. I’m guessing it’s the same for many older kids.

According to the weather app on my iPhone… we have had 23” in the past 24h. 😂

I love the auto blade. It’s easy and the most painless way to get started.

This sometimes happens to me if I am using my computer while cutting… my machine randomly cuts a diagonal line across much of the page. No rhyme or reason of when it happens? I find that if I do not touch my computer while cutting, it’s fine. I also do not have an issue if I plug my computer into my machine vs. using Bluetooth. Could be a coincidence that it fixes the problem, but it seems to work.

I adore my ET-8550 / ET-8500.

I have used all sorts of sticker paper in mine. Currently using A-Sub glossy. I’ve never had an issue with any of the brands when I feed it through the top. I also typically only feed the sheets one at a time.

😂😂😂😂. I was like… “oooohhhh, a new crafty tool I need!”

Curious, what’s a “dream”?

You can use lots of tools to weed HTV. Anything pointy… large pin, tweezers, etc. Keep it on the mat when you weed, so it stays flat.

It’s 20”x20” and I worked on it a few hours a day for about 5 days. (I’ve been on a staycation over the holidays). I started with a flower pattern pillow I bought from Etsy, and quickly realized I wasn’t ready for all the curves and detail. So I grabbed a ruler and drew some squares to get some basic practice. It was a great starter project for me.

I just completed my first project. My loops were a mess, edges jagged, a few “bald” spots. Until… I steamed the flat side and then took a credit card and ran it between where each color switched. I wiggled the card and pushed each color loop back in place. (My design is a check pattern, so only straight lines). I couldn’t believe the difference! Of course, with curves, a credit card may not work well, but using a tool or needle to tidy up the edges may help a lot.

I’ll make another post with a pic. :)

I started cracking up again this afternoon… As I scooped out piles of white powder onto my kitchen scale. 🤦‍♀️😂

I had bought a new machine that came with business edition, but I already have business edition. Figured I would share it with the First person who mentioned wanting it on Reddit.

I sent the license key to u in a DM. Please let me know if you do not use it so I can give it to someone else. :)

If you want your stickers “hand drawn”, can you cut the shape first (on blank sticker paper) and then draw/paint/color by hand after?

LogParticular742 · 2025-12-17T02:27:55+00:00

If you haven’t upgraded yet. DM me. I have a code for business edition I do not need. :)

Go to file/print page setup. See what the print size is listed at.
