Could be better

So far it’s ok. The first time using it, we used it heat press visors. The upper piece of the press kept making black marks on the cap.. we had to use a sheet of paper to place over the cap so it wouldn’t get marked up. The bottom of the piece where you place the hat over doesn’t stay still. There’s nothing to lock it in place, which makes it hard to keep your transfer in place.
