Gratitude is the greatest of virtues, which is why we must celebrate Thanksgiving by being aware of all the gifts given to us every day.
“Expressing gratitude is courteous and honorable, acting with gratitude is generous and noble; but to always live with gratitude in the heart is to touch the sky.”
Thomas S. Monson.

Open the Thanksgiving Apron design file in Silhouette Studio.
This is how you should see the layout when you open it:
Note: Remember to Adjust the size of the design according to the size of your garment before ungrouping the elements so that they do not lose their proportion.
My apron is 13 in (33 cm) wide in the front region, so I chose a size of 12 x 8.8 in (30.4 x 22.3 cm) for my design.
These are the cut settings I used for each of the heat transfer vinyls:
Glitter HTV
Matt HTV
Tip: I suggest turning on “Line Segment Overcut” to better cut angled areas of the design.
Note: Remember to wash the garment you want to print beforehand, send the design to be cut in a mirror, and put the HTV with the glossy layer facing down and the opaque layer facing up in the machine.
These are the ironing features suggested by Cricut:
I suggest using a lint remover to improve the adherence of the vinyl to the garment.
Preheat the garment, position the design symmetrically, and begin ironing per Cricut Guide recommendations.
Also, remember to iron the garment on the back.
Peel (remove backing material from vinyl), hot or cold, based on Cricut heat guide recommendations.
Aww, it's beautiful! Don't you think so?
Congratulations, your Thanksgiving Apron is ready!
