Please double check the type of zipper your hoodie has. My zipper is metal so I can press right on top of the zipper.
If your zipper is plastic you won't want to press right on top of it. You'll need to press the HTV onto the hoodie avoiding the zipper.
You'll want to add an EasyPress Mat or pressing pillow inside the hoodie to raise up the fabric. I would do this regardless of what press you're using.
Preheat the whole surface to remove any wrinkles and moisture from the fabric. After the pre-press locate the design so that the HTV lines up right along the edge of the zipper.
Once it's located exactly where you want it apply heat for the full time. If you're worried about the design moving use heat-resistant tape to hold it into place.
Press according to the time and temperature for the HTV you're using.
Because of the location of the seams in my hoodie I cannot avoid them all with my heat source. Because I'm using the EasyPress I am going to press down with firm pressure for the full time.
If you're using a different type of press I would set it to medium pressure. When the time's up, remove the heat and pay attention to if your HTV is hot or cold peel.
Mine can be peeled either hot or cold so I'm going to slowly pull back the carrier sheet to make sure it's stuck down well.
Go slow and be careful, especially around the zipper. Because of how the zipper sticks up you may have some lifting around the zipper. Even if it's not stuck down completely, if you can remove the carrier sheet do that because we're going to press a second time.
