It’s time for another free svg cut file roundup with all of my creative friends and this month is perfect for foodies. These summer bbq files are all perfect for those afternoon bbq’s with family and friends. And they can be used on potholders, aprons, wood signs and more!
I love our file on a potholder but it would also look really cool on a cutting board (using a laser to cut the design – you cannot put food on top of vinyl because it’s toxic!). It also works on a tea towel and apron!

FAQ’S ABOUT USING THIS LET’S EAT POTHOLDER SVG
What type of heat transfer vinyl can you use on a potholder?
I love Siser Easyweed Heat Transfer Vinyl for most of my heat transfer vinyl projects. Stretch htv would be a good idea just because you can put your hand in the potholder and might stretch it a bit!
How long do you press each layer for a multi-colored design?
With the CraftPro Heat Press I heated it up to 315 and pressed each layer for 10 seconds.
It’s a bit of trial and error depending on what type of heat press you’re using. The best thing to do is to try to press for 5 seconds and then see if your vinyl has adhered to your shirt by lifting up the transfer sheet. If your vinyl design comes up with the transfer sheet then you need to press for a little bit longer.
Keep doing this until you find the amount of time that works for you!
Once you have every layer adhered onto your shirt, do one final press for the full amount of time (mine was 20 seconds).
Do you need to use a pressing pillow with a potholder?
Yes! You’ll need a small one to put in the pocket so that you get an even press. I love these from HeatPress Nation because they come in so many different sizes!
