Design Space Friday Using a Pen for Easy Weeding

Do you have a problem seeing the lines on the Glitter heat transfer vinyl (HTV)? I know I do. I saw this cool trick of using a pen to draw the lines first and it worked for me so I thought I would share.

Remember to test your pen on a small sample first to be sure it does not smear.  I used the Cricut black fine tip pen NOT MARKER and it did smear if I did not let it sit for a few minutes to dry.

Also test wash the sample piece to be sure any ink still on the HTV does not bleed out onto the material
