Without question the best large cut tutorial on youtube. Everyone else has no clue what they are doing so I don’t know why they think they should make a video showing others.
Omg I got my cricut in may for my birthday I saw so many videos on how to cut larger then mat none of them help me and some of them I sow them a few times I sow your video once and now I Knoweww how to cut ☺️ thank you so much for your video
THANK YOU! This is so much easier to teach since the way I normally split it is through photoshop and not everyone I try to teach this to uses photoshop! I'm going to tackle a 36 inch decal for the side of a car using this method. I'm excited to give it a try!
Thank you so much for this tutorial. I've been wanting to make oversized mandala stencils for my entryway floor!! I may just attempt this!!! Loved the transfer tape as well.... looked easy to work with!
Hi, this video we used the 12 x 24 size sheet of vinyl and you'd could use the 12 x 24 size mat as well. We also have another one that is a large wall decal. Here is the link to it - th-cam.com/video/1LII1qpsMjk/w-d-xo.html Hopefully that helps.
Oh my gosh, I'm going to try this. I've been trying to do a simple sign however, I need it be 53 long and 10 3/4 high letters (well thinking 8" high is good and maybe swirls on the front of the words and after. I've been struggling and struggling to do so. Thanks for this so much.
Hi I'm a little confused. At 3:38 when you began to move the sliced pieces, you moved the rectangle and part of the letters that was sliced. Why didn't you have to move the other part of the letters when you removed the second rectangle?
Hi Laurel, I only really sliced the one rectangle and not the other. It was just there to show you the sizing. Once I removed the first rectangle the second one was exactly the size I needed it. So, there really wasn't anything to slice out. Hopefully that helps. Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
This was a fabulous tutorial. This is something I have wanted to do for quite sometime now. Thank you for sharing. I was wondering, do you sell the transfer tape in the large rolls such as the one used in the video ?
Hi Tracey, we do carry the transfer tape. We have it in 6 in rolls or in 12 inch rolls which we used for this tutorial. It can be found here: expressionsvinyl.com/transfer-tape.html
You can, if you're using adhesive vinyl and certain HTVs you can just layer one on top of the other. Sometimes you will have to do the knockout method (slice on the Cricut)
Hi Ida, yes that is another option as well. We just wanted to show the basic concept of cutting an image larger than the 12 x 24 mat you are limited to.
This will be a silly question for seasoned Cricut Design Space users, but how did you change your screen to show the whole large object? When I make my project 23x11.5, I can only see part of the image.
Can this technique also be used for HTV iron-on projects? I am making a hoodie, and the design needs to be at least 16 inches across the chest. Thanks!
Where do you get the roll of transfer paper and what is it called? I have tried searching this as it's the perfect solution to making large signs. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing how to create larger design layouts using our cricut, I have the air 2. Do you know how to reload your mat in the exact place for repeated etching (later dates) of same designs over and over to achieve exact placement of the etch design?
Love your videos and have subscribed to your site. Newbie. Sorry. Trying to print and cut off downloaded image (png). Need to slice in half like yours. Do everything exactly as you have done but when get to 3:20 mark in video I hit one of my rectangles and my 'slice' option does not light up. Where did I go wrong? If you have another video that addresses just direct me there. Thanks!!
Hi James, does your imported image have more than one layer to it? In order to slice you need to make sure things are not grouped and you are only choosing 2 things at a time. Please let us know so we can further assist you.
Hi Jennifer, We carry it in our shop. Here is the link to it - expressionsvinyl.com/transfer-tape/paper/ Please let us know if you have any additional questions.
Hi, there is a little icon that looks like a chain link between the width and height. That just means the proportion are locked. If you click on it you should be able to update each separately. Hopefully that helps.
In your design space canvas, how did you get your squares smaller and to skip numbers so all of your project fits in that corner? when i make mine that big it takes up my whole screen?
Hi Rebecca, in the bottom right hand corner there is a plus and minus sign to zoom in and out. I just had the screen zoomed out as far as I could. Hopefully that helps. Please let us know what other questions you might have.
@@Expressionsvinyls I am trying to do my first pillow. Video seems like it will be helpful. Watching while at work (obviously not working...whoops). Will watch again later at home. Thank you!

Tysm for making this video so clear and understandable. Now I'm not so intimidated to try a larger than mat project. Thanks again!
Another great useful tip I can see coming handy in the near future
Oh my gosh, I'm going to try this. I've been trying to do a simple sign however, I need it be 53 long and 10 3/4 high letters (well thinking 8" high is good and maybe swirls on the front of the words and after. I've been struggling and struggling to do so. Thanks for this so much.

@@Expressionsvinyls Thanks! I think I need to play around with slicing a bit more to fully understand how it works.
It's pretty fun once you get the hang of it.

i wonder if will be easy to cut it instead of fold it . thank you for sharing
When you lice how do you know what size to use in the position boxes?
Oh MY Goodness!! This was SO helpful!! Thank you so much! You got a new subscriber!!
Thanks! We're so glad to hear that it helped you.
can you do the matt displayed on print and cut
It depends on the printer you have available.
If you you are using an Ipad how do you slice the image?
Great video, JoAnn! Can this method be used doing print then cut in Cricut?
Yes, absolutely!
thank you so very much , this was very easy to understand ,
Where did you get such a massive roll of transfer tape. Great job on the tutorial! I may not be so scared to try it now. Thank you!
Thank you! Here's a link for the tape she used expressionsvinyl.com/paper-transfer-tape-roll/
Thanks for the video. Good details.
Great video. What is the font that u used?
This is a image that she purchased from Cricut Design space.
Can you do this with layered colors? Do you have a tutorial for that?
You can, if you're using adhesive vinyl and certain HTVs you can just layer one on top of the other. Sometimes you will have to do the knockout method (slice on the Cricut)
Wonderful! Thanks for this video! 🤗😊
Thank you so much!!! Where did you get that roll of transfer tape, exactly what I would love to have!
Here is a link to the transfer tapes that we carry expressionsvinyl.com/transfer-tape/
Hi love ur video but couldnt u rotate the sweet to fit the 12x 24 ? N the rest of it thank u
Hi Ida, yes that is another option as well. We just wanted to show the basic concept of cutting an image larger than the 12 x 24 mat you are limited to.
Thanks, great instructions.
You are welcome!
Where transfer paper? Awesome tutorial Thank you.
May I ask what type of transfer paper you are using in the vidoe?

Thank you very much - your video is clear and easy to follow. My one question would be where you buy such a large roll of transfer tape?
You are welcome! Thanks for tuning in! This is where you can get the Transfer Tape. We love it!! expressionsvinyl.com/transfer-tape/paper/rolls/
Thank you for sharing!!!
I only have the 12 x 12 mat 😅😅 ig I’ll cute it into fours?
Yes, if you just have a 12 x 12 you can do 4 pieces instead of 2.
This will be a silly question for seasoned Cricut Design Space users, but how did you change your screen to show the whole large object? When I make my project 23x11.5, I can only see part of the image.
There is a light grey - and + in the bottom left of the canvas in design space. These will adjust the view.
so helpful!!! thank you :)
May I know why you prefer paper transfer tapes to clear ones?
It really is just a preference. The paper is easier to tear and can be used with the wet application method. However, the clear is great for layering.
how were you able to get the large matt displayed in preivew
You can select the mat size under page setup.
Can this technique also be used for HTV iron-on projects? I am making a hoodie, and the design needs to be at least 16 inches across the chest. Thanks!
It is possible to piece together iron-on designs as well. Yes!
Can you tell me please what brand of transfer tape that is. Thanks
This is it! expressionsvinyl.com/paper-transfer-tape-roll/
GREAT VIDEO 👍

Yes, you can!
