This font is called ‘High Jump’ and it is one of my favorite Cricut fonts to use for monograms. More monogram font ideas in this post.
Once the monogram is sized and spaced how you want it on your Design Space canvas, click ‘group’ and then ‘attach.’
Make sure to measure the surface of your backpack that you want the monogram to fit on and size the design accordingly.
CUT IRON-ON
Cut a piece of iron-on to size and place it shiny side down on a StandardGrip mat.
Click ‘Make it’ and then you will see this screen. Select ‘Mirror’
Load mat into the Cricut and when the little Cricut icon flashes, click it to begin cutting.
Remove iron-on from the mat and weed.
APPLY IRON ON TO BACKPACK
First, heat an EasyPress Mini to 315 degrees (or an iron to its hottest setting) while you weed the design.
If you’re using an iron, make sure steam is turned off.
Now, cover the backpack with a thin fabric, like a tea towel. Now you can press the design with heat for about 60 seconds. Check under the towel as you go to make sure you aren’t melting anything.
Wait for it to cool a little bit, just til it’s warm and then peel it.
Notes
Cricut has a StrongBond™ Guarantee. If you use their Iron-On as directed, you’ll be completely satisfied with the results. If not, they’ll replace it for free!
This backpack is made of a Polyester Cotton blend. You have to be careful (with anything polyester) not to melt it with the heat press.
Cotton and canvas backpacks are ideal for iron-on projects. I chose the Poly blend bag because it is easier to clean!
