Best Patterned Heat Transfer Vinyl – Siser, Cricut, & Sparkleberry Ink…
What is the best patterned heat transfer vinyl?
We’re taking a look at the huge variety of patterned HTV out there. It’s such a fun product to work with, making ordinary designs come to life!
In this post, we’ll share a range of what we consider to be the best patterned HTV, and where you can get it.
Best Patterned HTV
As with all types of heat transfer vinyl, each brand has its own unique features. However, this is especially so with pattern heat transfer vinyl!
Each brand has their own range of designs that can’t be copied, and there are some really awesome selections out there!
Some types of Patterned HTV are applied using a Heat Transfer Mask. This is the same process as transfer tape for vinyl, and means you do not need to mirror the design before cutting. More on masks below.

Siser Patterned HTV
Siser EasyPatterns HTV is a quality patterned vinyl you can trust.
This product requires a heat transfer mask for application. This is a heat resistant transfer tape for lifting the non-mirrored design off the backing sheet and onto your t shirt.
This is needed because the patterned HTV design is face up on the carrier sheet. Therefore you do not need to mirror your design before cutting.
The mask does involve an added cost that you need to factor in, but it can be reused multiple times.
Some of my favorite Siser Patterned HTV designs are:
- Mermaid Scales
- Baseballs
- and Cheetah Pop Pastel!
See how to use Siser EasyPatterns in the following video!
Cricut Patterned Iron On
Cricut has by far the most fun range of patterned HTV!
I don’t know of anyone else who has collaborations with other big names and brands like Cricut – the Martha Stewart Cricut Collection even includes a patterned iron on bundle!
Other varieties in the Cricut pattern iron on range include:
- Multiple Star Wars Designs
- Monsters Inc Iron On
- Micky Mouse Iron On
- Spider Man Patterned HTV
- Anna Griffin Iron On Samplers
Along with these special and unique types of patterned HTV, there are many more floral, paisley, and geometric designs – the hardest part is not just getting one of everything!

Expressions Vinyl Patterned HTV
Expressions Vinyl also have a good assortment of cheap patterned iron on – over 100 designs!
I love the look of ‘Mermaid Wishes’, ‘Vintage Floral’ and ‘4th of July Flag’ patterned HTV!
This selection of vinyl from Expressions Vinyl does not require a separately purchased heat transfer mask – it is already attached.
The design will need to be mirrored and applied in the same way as Siser EasyWeed, with the patterned side placed down on your cutting mat. More details in this video.
Happy Crafters Pattern HTV
And finally, Happy Crafters also have a stunning array of heat transfer vinyl patterns – take a look at that fish design!
They have many patterned HTV choices for boys and girls. Well worth taking a look at – they also have a billowing American flag patterned HTV design (see it here).
Patterned HTV Vinyl
There are also alternatives to patterned heat transfer vinyl.
You could get a vinyl printer and make your own patterned vinyls. Or, consider Cricut Infusible Ink – this can be used in a similar way to pattern iron on.

I love the Sparkleberry ink designs – there are so pretty! I find it can be hard to imagine what many finished designs will look like when they’ve been cut and applied. These pretty sheets of htv look quite different when cut in a text design or something like that.
Yes I know what you mean – it’s a bit the same with Infusible Ink!
