First of all, you'll want to cut a tester to make sure it is cutting correctly.
You will open your cut file on your mat. Make sure to mirror your image. Put your htv on your mat with the shiny side down. When you go to cut, you will chose vinyl as your media (paper type). Then just cut it. This is where you need to do a tester. All cutters work different. Some people don't need to make any other adjustments. I had to turn my blade down one number so it wouldn't cut the carrier sheet.
Once you're done, you'll be able to weed it (take out the portions you are not using), then you'll place the image on the carrier sheet onto your fabric and heat press it. You can heat it directly on the carrier sheet or put some parchment paper or a silicone sheet on top. Once the carrier sheet is taken off, if you decide you want to press it some more, you'll definitely need to put the parchment paper or silicone sheet back on top of it.
Hope that answers your question.
