See if you can apply just using an iron, if that works your issue is with the heat press. If it doesn't you have a compatibility issue with the film.

When I've done westford mill things I put a lot of pressure on them much more than recommended and I have pressed more than once usually too. I start to take the backing plastic from the htv and if I find a bit that hasn't adhered well I press again. If I am using an item with edges, I use a book underneath to lift it up so that the ridge doesn't interfere. On old hardbacked book is great for this.

I bought one of the bigger sized books in the Works specifically for me to do this with the bigger items

Whose vinyl or transfers are you using for the Westford Mill range?
