I actually write the date on the housing when I installed the new blade
So smart!!!
@@KaylasCricutCreations thank you! Felt tip marker... comes off with alcohol fir next tip change!
This does not help since use, not age, determines wear.
@@leighsutherland6222 helps me with knowing when I put it in plus gives a reference to how much activity has been based on gifting and such
@@rosinyberg8747 Great idea
Thank you so much for your detailed explanation of all the options for selecting and adjusting the settings!
Thanks Kayla! I have also done a second cut before unloading my material - not necessarily great for small or intricate but does help if it seems like the first cut didn’t cut all the way.
Thank you so so so much. I've watched 15 videos on how to use my cricut. You BY FAR are the BEST!!!!! The way you explain each and every detail I was looking for. The pace you use is perfect. I have just subbed to you and I look forward to every video you share!!
Thank you for staying on top and quickly,helping me solve my cutting problems.
Thanks for this . I’m a newbie and have been struggling with getting clean cuts. You’ve been my number one go-to when I have questions. Thanks a bunch!!
This was incredibly helpful!! I have been trying to cut script font on vinyl and I am hoping that all of your tips and tricks will help! Thank you!
Thank you!! I've been struggling with a small intricate design. I'm going to try this today!
Hi Kayla,
Thanks for sharing these tips! I wanted to share the issue I'm having with cutting some African print fabric. I've been using the cotton setting and the Maker has been cutting too deep and only on the left side--so frustrating. I have to say that Cricut was very helpful and sent me a new blade and new fabric mats. Unfortunately, neither has helped thus far. I will try using other settings like the washi tape and less pressure as you suggested and hope it helps...
thank you for the informative video - especially loved the tip on where to start the adjustments on the custom settings.
Your tips are always relevant, Kayla! My most-used solution to cutting problems is to check before unloading the mat; if the design is not cut completely through the material, I hit the "Go" (Cricut logo) button again and just re-cut using the same settings. I have some card stock which is always problematic, and I've used all of your ideas, so thanks!
Wow, thanks for the tip I never thought about going over it one more time!
I adjusted the setting by 2X and it cut perfectly. thank you so much for sharing this.
Love the tips and hacks! Great tutorial:) Didn't know about all the options under custom
This was very helpful! Thank you Kayla!
You did an excellent job explaining how to go and change the settings and also giving alternate ideas when cricut is not cutting through cards tock. I tried the glitter setting and it worked perfectly. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! I was about to lose my mind after how many times I tried to cut out a card with no luck!!!
Most helpful video with the issue I was having. Thanks for all the info! :)
This is exactly what I needed! Thank you
Thanks for making this video! All good info.
Hi!!! Thank you for being thorough & to the point! New to your channel & love your videos! Got yourself a new subscriber ☺️
Thanks so much for the tip to change the material setting to Washi tape. I had an intricate iron-on project and the Washi tape setting was the key. 👍🏻
Thank you, Kayla, this was really helpful for me.
YOU SO HELPED A NEWBIE!!
Lots of great info. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you good info. My question to you how did you get the design space to be pink. I love that, so much easier to look at
I just wanted to say I stumbled upon this video and I cannot say thank you enough !!!
I have had a cricut ( multiples actually ) and had NO IDEA .. that I could adjust the cut on every type of cutting material !!
What a game changer .. I have spent hours on intricate cuts with zero success .. today I adjust a setting and perfect cut on tiny little flowers ☺️
Omg this must have been SO satisfying when you learned this and first applied it!!
Two options for detailed cardstock:
Mirroring the image, because one side was smoother and the other more textured
Rotating (for me 90 degrees), which stopped some of my angled flowers from ripping just based on which direction the blade was pulling.
Hope that makes sense! Isn't working for some new paper I'm using which is why I'm here, but has saved me on one important project.
This actually makes sense! Because technically, natural movement is horizontal and vertical. So if you closer to those axis, it can have a smoother cut on the areas where it has ripped.
I just discovered this Channel And you helped a lot on an issue with glitter cardstock.
Helpful video - thank you!
Thank you so much! You must have read my mind because I am so frustrated with a recent card stock project! I learned several things from this video that I will try! I love your channel!
you saved my project, thank you!
Great tips! Thanks!
Thanks, this was really helpful.
This was the best, most informative Cricut video I have watched. I’m trying to get it down and running into issues. You answered every question I had for my possible issues and many I did not know about. Easy to understand also. Thank you!!
Oh btw, I have been cutting fabric in a script/ cursive, and it is getting all torn up. I am going to make adjustments and order new blades. Can you recommend a beautiful cursive font that might be wider for wedding related items. I want to make and sell. I was using Gravura and it must be too thin. If I can widen a font, I don’t know how and having an issue w sizing still. I’m subscribing and will search and watch your other videos. So glad I found your videos! Thank you so much!!
OMG that part of the machine opens!!!! OMG learning something new everyday!
Right!!
Very good info. Thank you
Great video. I learned so much!! Just got Premium blades from Cricut but haven't tried them yet. Anyone have experience with them? Also, I have had trouble cutting Park Lane cardstock from Joann's. Tried several fixes but it still made quite a mess.
What setting would you use for a sport heat vinyl I have a cricut Expression 2
Didn’t even realize there was a custom setting lol. I wasted a bunch of glitter cardstock by the time I got to your video. But after changing the settings it worked like a dream.
Thank you Your tutorial solved my problem.Anne
Great information!
Great video!! Love the tips! And thanks for the tip on the Amazon blades. Thanks for sharing! 😀 Have a great Sunday! Christina
Thank you!! I’m glad it was helpful. 😀 I’m really liking the amazon blades. Have a great Sunday as well! 🥰
@@KaylasCricutCreations are the amazon blades working well for you?
I love mine! The wear sooner but bulk is cheaper than 1 Cricut & bulk set lasts longer ( all together) than 1 Cricut
😊thanks for your time
Have you ever tried paper studio cardstock from hobby lobby, put in a new blade, brayer roller and tape it on and still comes up when i cut a rose flower out. Any ideals
what cap replaces the standard fine point blade? red? I have these and they list degrees of cuts. shallow, standard, and deep cut. I'm cutting 110 lb card stock. the first 2 cut great, then they got a little jagged. I'm attempting to make a shadow box. pine trees, deer, houses with windows etc.
It works better than my silhouette cameo, but wondering if I need to replace the blade.?
What setting would you suggest using for scrapbook paper?
I am sooo new. This scared me! Everything is new and I have a Maker 3. I'm cutting Glow in the Dark vinyl.
Hi Kayla, I am doing a print and cut, iron-on The print is fine but when I go cut in cricut it does not cut clean. Do you know what I am doing wrong. Thanks. I have already wasted a whole pkg of iron tranf paper… urgh! Thank you, love you videos. Have a great day.
thank you for your tutorial, unfortunately, you didn't mentioned glitter light cardstock. i had a big issue , the machine tear all the words.thank you
Love the tutorial, however, it would be helpful to zoom in on written material. It would save some of older crafters from having to run for our glasses. Thanks.
Which replacement blades did you speak about from Amazon? TIA
So we have a cricut at my work. I was using it to cut out snowflakes out of construction paper. It ended up dragging the paper and jammed. I tried to clear the paper away but now it doesn't seem to be cutting through the construction paper all the way no matter what I change the settings to. Do you have any suggestions?
This was a great explanation and full of good ideas. My Cricut behaves most of the time, but I have a friend who gets good cuts one time, poor cuts the next, even on the same design, and it’s not only with intricate designs. So I shared this video with her:)
Do you know what kind of cricut she is using?
@@LeahReneeBenner yes it’s a Maker about a year old now.
@@gerriebell2128 thank you!:)
love it
Thank you
My Cricut air 2 went from cutting everything beautifully to cutting nothing!! I tried just about everything new matt new blades, cleaning rollers, housing outside and just inside at top, calibrated twice and still nothing. I then sprayed into the housing some mylee spray, pumped the blade up and down blotted and tapped till housing dry. Now its back to cutting everything beautifully. I got the machine second hand so no warranty so I'm relieved it's doing its job. Mylee spray came from amazon.
I will be trying this. I also bought mine second-hand from someone who upgraded to a maker this last Christmas. I'm a newbie but have had success with everything that I've tried... until now. My husband is the SRO at my old high school. So when the football coach offered to pay me to make motivational stencils for the boy's weight room, I agreed happily. I'm so thankful that I told him that I wouldn't charge for my time because I'm already a week past due. I've tried cricut stencil vinyl, Duck brand removable vinyl , a new blade, clean mat, less clean mat, and every setting that I can find recommended online. It's dragging and messing up every time. AARRGGGG!!! I'm super frustrated. It makes me that much more aggravated because I gave my word to make this for someone other than just myself.
Sorry, just venting I guess. What I meant to say was
THANKS SO MUCH FOR THE TIP!!! 🙃
@@deanna777 is worth a try because I had nothing to lose because nothing worked till I used that spray. It's good for cleaning and I use it on earrings, removing sticky stuff from lakes on light bottles. It could be a bit of debris caught in the blade housing so then the blade will not perform how it should hence it may well be doing what mine was doing. Every material I could use was ripped and destroyed. I was so delighted with the outcome that's why I posted it on here as it may help someone else. Mine is still cutting and I'm using blades I thought eye no good but they ate working fine. It cuts everything now phew. I clean the blade while it's out with the spray as well as the housing. Let me know if it works for you. Fingers crossed xxx
Please excuse the spelling, my phone always changes tx. Sticky labels on bottles and the glue residue and numerous other uses for the spray x
is that how the spray is spelled? can't find on amazon
Is that Mylee slip solution?
This was extremely helpful! Thank you so much. Do you have a tiktok?
Can you cut fabric with the expression?
Do you have any tips for cutting larger objects? My blade seems to dance and take longer or slightly larger images.
hi . new to cricut. why are you using a matt? plus i got the maker3 so i wouldn’t need matt . im confused. every maker 3 vid has person using matt . my unit shreds adhesive vinyl when it trys to cut . csn you clarify if im forgetting to do something? i just used sample vinyl that came with unit
I need help I've been trying to set the pressure using Heat Transfer Paper, and no success can you help me out to set it up. thank you
Washi setting does not work for me on intricate cuttings on vinyl. :(
Also, if it worked before why will it all of a sudden not work and start ripping my vinyl? I even replaced the blade and it didn't help.
Is recalibrating an option?
Thanks!
I bought foil vinyl at hobby lobby and am having lots of issues cutting it. It’s paper studio iron on foil. Any ideas?
Thank you. Thank you for mentioning the off brand blades from Amazon they are in my cart. Off to purchase.
They are awesome! I saw so many people recommend them and I finally tried them out. They work really well for me and much better price! :)
This Happened with My Cricut infusible ink. Any help or Tips
HELP! So I have the Cricut Maker 3 and I can not find a way to slow down the cut it is shredding up my cuts but so far it is only on the Blue and purple so far ;-(
what pressure setting do i use if i’m using oracal 651 vinyl?? I’m so used to using cricut smart vinyl
I change my dial to custom and use premium vinyl and change the cut to more instead of default.
I got my machine and tried cutting craft foam, it’s incredibly jagged and torn. I’m confused bc I used the cricut preset and I mean, it’s a completely new blade. What can I try or do?
Hi! I tried to change the force setting for knife blade but my tab won't let me! Please help me! My cricut doesn't cut all the way to material. Thks
I do not have options for custom settings on . my maker
where did you get the cute picture?
Pls I need help am new to using cricut maker. I literarily used 3 whole vinyls, all my work is just coming out bad. The machine cuts through completely and destroys the letters that I have to throw them away and start all over.
Can I do this for my joy
Where do you find this at I'm new to using a personal circuit how does it link up to my machine
You either have to have a cord that plugs up to your computer or a Bluetooth piece for your phone
My Cricut keeps dragging my Cardstock help :( I changed everything bought new blade no mat and still dragging
I'm having a hard time cutting 110lb paper! It's recollections and it's just making a choppy mess 😫
I’m having that same problem with my Cricut Joy
My 80 lb paper get rolls in and stop and dose not roll out to start the process
Kayla if after you try cleaning your mat, it still is not sticky what do you suggest to try using to make mat sticky again?
I don’t throw away any mats. Once a mat has lost all stickiness after cleaning it. Put painters tape around the mat. Use Aileens tack it over and over. Mix 1 part of the glue and 1 part water. Less glue for less stickiness. Use a sponge brush and paint a thin coat on the mat. Let dry over night . The next morning you have a new mat
I wash them, dry over night, mask edges and use a spray to make it tacky again... Works very well. Its surprising how dirty the mats get x
@@maureenlee2277 what spray do you use?
Hello Kayla
My name is Debbie and I'm experiencing my cricut is pulling the heat vinyl off the plastic backing it was working wonderful then the next day it was bad
Did you find a solution?
Estou com problema, a minha explore está cortando só de um lado, não corta completo 😭
What is the name of the off brand blades? I’ve tried everything and my machine is either tearing everything all up beyond recognition or not cutting at all
Go Amazon & search Cricut blades. Sort & get the cheapest one. I love them too.
I am having trouble with cutting infusible ink sheets they rip and dont cut though properly i have tried most of the tips there are still a couple which i learnt on thus video. But is there anything anyone can recommend me trying i seen to waste alot of sheets for bad cutting...
See my post about the mylee ditsy I used on blade and housing. It's available on amazon. My cricut went from cutting nothing to cutting everything and works so well on everything I use... I'm well pleased because they're is no doubt its so annoying wasting so much material. I was ready to give in after trying numerous tips, settings etc. Hope it helps c
This video helped but I still can’t get it to cut all the way through to make individual stickers. 😖😖
Use the washi tape setting
I have always heard and read that piercing aluminum foil with the blade does sharpen it. Now I do not know what to think. My blade cut better when I used the foil, so I think it does sharpen...
I keep hearing two different things so I'm not sure either. 😂 It works so well though! I love it!
I learned to cut foil with my dull scissors, so I believe it will sharpen these blades as well.
my circuit drags. and will not cut clean. I have cleaned the board, put a new blade in and use Orcle vinyl. I never had an issue before. I have cleaned the blade, I have ordered new blades, boards and vinyl, what can I do in the meantime?
Did you ever figure out how to fix your problem? I'm looking for tips.
ive just purchased my Cricut Maker ( 2 weeks old) it hasn't Donne a lot of work and trying to intricate cuts its useless. I think my Cricut Joy cuts a lot better. Surely I don't need to purchase a new blade yet. I always use quality stock
I have a maker 3 and normally if a design I use has lots of cuts I use the intricate setting and it usually always cuts out great. Except yesterday and today. I put 6 designs to cut . I had some cut fine and some that didnt cut all the way. One cut all but one spot. I changed papers. I even tried once to add more pressure. I changed paper and tried some other designs and one of them cut fine the other it cut in some places and tor in other. So what do you do when it tears and doesnt cut in some places? My mat seems sticky. I am thinking of either changing the mat and or blade? Do you have any suggestions?
are you not answering any of the questions you get?
Dam i thought this was where i needed to go. My problem is all my paid svgs do not open clean in design space. I see a circle but it cuts very wonky like a bashed pea. I can see a shape right infront of me on the screen its closed but it cuts open and not joined like the number 6 with gaps. Its pissing me off. What do i do? Its all purchased svgs from any downloadable shop the shapes upload wonky and not clean but cut 10 times worse than im seeing them on screen. Im ready to smash the machine.
ha, curious, you uploaded this one exactly a year ago today!
Aluminum foil does actually sharpen your blade. It doesn’t do miracles but it works. There’s ton of info and videos on it.
Oh wow! Good to know! I had so many people get upset that I said it sharpens the blade in the first video I shared of it. 🤣 It works well for my blade! 😀
@@KaylasCricutCreations lol right! We speak from experience 💁🏻♂️
I dont have that Pressure option on my explore air 2 machine. Hmmmmm
Same! Did you figure out what to do?
@@abrianamejia8769 oh I did. It is after the continue page when u make it then it will open up a new page for the material u are using if you are in the custom dial
@@MAJA80173 thank you
I didnt get clean cuts today at all.
I change my blade and it still wouldn't cut🥵
I feel like I ruined my mat by washing it
There seems to be more problems with the cricut then good things. I'm hating mine at this point
I do too I'm thinking about getting a cameo I had so many orders I was not able to fulfill due to my cricut not cutting
Why this cricut is women dominated.
I feel left out.
Hey don’t let it get to you. I’m new to Cricut and i’m female but I’ve seen a few videos by male Cricut users and was delighted to see that. Coming from mostly an interest in cardmaking, it’s very rare to see men represented so I was pleasantly surprised to see a few into digital die cutting. If I remember which channels I’ll mention them. One in particular had a few comments from men that stood out because they were happy to see other men that are also into it.
My long distance boyfriend has been asking about mine as he’s never seen them before. He’s pretty intrigued. We both have 3D printers and he’s noticing the similarities, obviously they do very different things but software wise is pretty similar. He might just get one for himself.
I don’t really get why it’s dominated by women, only that maybe many guys haven’t heard of them because they’re not coming from a card making or sewing background. Anyways I wish you all the luck with yours, enjoy it, they seem like great machines. I’m enjoying mine so far as a newbie. There’s a lot you can do with them.
