💡 Pro Tips for Working with Retro Halloween SVG Files
- Increase cut pressure slightly for glitter or specialty vinyl — these materials are thicker and require more force for clean, precise cuts.

- Preheat your fabric for 3–5 seconds before applying HTV — this removes moisture and wrinkles for better adhesion and longer-lasting results.
