Nice idea but not a great project. You can totally see the seam. I don't know why cricut can't just come up with a large format print and cut. It's like they're not even listening to us.
You can make it as close as you want for the seems to be virtually invisible, I just wasn't perfect at that time. I created a milestone blanket for our Pro Course 2 and the seems are perfect. I think it's a great hack for getting around the Cricut restrictions.
@@MakersGonnaLearn it really is a great hack. I've been doing it for a long time with cut projects. My husband makes things with the scroll saw so I often have to cut projects that are larger than the mat.
Makers Gonna Learn :Its a FAB hack if your NOT using EPOXY😂😂 AAARRRRGGGHHHHHH (•Someone please get me a paper lunch sack so I can breathe lol•)
Hey guys, great idea but can you do it on dark transfer sheets?
Can you do a tutorial where you have it on dark? Do you have a tutorial where it’s closer so you can’t see the line?
Thanks!
Yes all these updates and still no larger print I’m about to switch
While this is ok for some, I think it’s horrible that cricut can’t adapt so that we can use a full page...this is just a lot of wasted “expensive” paper.
It's not wasted if you use this technique!
Makers Gonna Learn Not to belabor the point but besides the huge waste of black ink when mere markers could suffice, we lose at minimum 1/3 of each page. There is a hack if you have Photoshop that allows you to use the full page...I’ll try to find the link and post it
Patricia Bellinger hi, did you ever find the link to the video? Thanks.
Egodynamic the guy who teaches full page printing for cricut on photoshop is named Eric M Boyd. Look him he has awesome tutorials
Makers Gonna Learn :Unfortunately with certain printable vinyl images I need to put under clear epoxy (which is a damn magnifying glass🙄) that seam shows. Soooooo when does Cricut have it on the calendar to roll out this MUCH NEEDED feature? (•screams, runs &
accidentally bashed own head into wall•)
Is there a way to do the larger size without slicing the image? So a full size 8.5x11? tfs
OMG I was searching to see if there was a way around that size limit and here you are! Thank you so much!
I can actually see the break line when finished, sorry..Cricket just needs a bigger area to print and cut
I did not get it as close as I could have, but did not feel the need to remake the entire video when I was teaching a technique and not looking for perfection. Feel free to get it perfect when you do this :)
Sorry i wasn’t criticizing you Rachael, I was stating a fact that Cricut needs to get with the times and upgrade their software to print and cut larger. If they would do this there would be no need to slice, print, cut and match up designs., Again I’m so sorry you felt I was criticizing you work.
@@barbararead7490 i was gonna buy a cricket maker when I upgraded but because of how lacking cricut is on certain things the shilouette makes up for.. when I do print and cut i use the shiloutte software because it'll let you bring out a whole page and then I had cut around what I want done since I don't have silhouette yet.
@@chasityshull7276, I have two circuits but maybe it's time for a change...didn't know silhouette can do that? which one? it's a shame Cricut don't listen :(
@@evieartchantress227 mm
Hello! Great video. I am trying to make a XL shirt with a 11” square design so using the cricut measurement of 6.75 x 9.25 I would have to slice it four times to get the whole design! Will it only let you slice into two slices?
Omg couldn't figure this out until your video ❤ thank you so much made my day
We're so glad we could help!
🤦🏽♀️all this time.... thank you so much for sharing. It makes such a big difference.
yay! Thank you for your kind words, we are so happy you enjoyed this video!
I can still see the sliced line but great tip❤
I GOT IT!!! You have to turn the shape to fit most of the project. It maybe tall or it may need to be sideways. I had to turn mine side ways (9.25 x 6.75). For the seam you just have to match as best as possible.
Thank you for the video. I am curious to know what you have experienced when you peeled the paper when it was hot instead of cool?
The vinyl wont be adhered properly. If you pull it off hot it will all peel up because the adhesive has not had time to cool and bond to the fabric. Hope this helps!
Do we have to start out with a cut file or can we convert it to cut after we add the image to the canvas?
I enjoy your videos and this was super helpful! Why may I ask does it have to be the Starcraft printable HTV? What happens with other brands?
You can use other brands, I just meant that every brand has different instructions as to if you mirror it, what setting to cut it on, etc. So read up on the brand you have to make sure you're using it properly :)
Hey all, I am watching after the stream. Thank you for this tutorial!
Thank you for watching!
Can I please ask you what is the size of print then cut on maker 3 ? Thank you:):)
oh my god. thank you so much. I wish i would've looked at this video sooner. i could've done my projects the way i wanted them instead of going by 9.75 by 6.25.
You're welcome!
Awesome finally someone explains right
So I am just learning all this and am trying to figure out how you added the square in the back of it? I am trying to put in exact print and cut for 20ounce tumbler but it will not let me go large enough.. Can you help please?
YAAAAAAY I did it!! Wish you could see the dance i did and the smile on my face. Whew. thank you Rachel/MGL. Yall are the bomb!
Woohoo!!!
Why the thumbs down?????? Ingenuity and Adaptability 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
Will this work on a actual sublimation printer. Epson F170 ?
Other then that I only have laser.
Will this work the same ways for a dark transfer paper if I slice it
Is it at all possible to edit and make the black border lines wider or longer? It'd be nice to mot have to use so much sticker paper when I print and cut stickers
Thanks sooo much for this video and sharing your expertise!
You are so welcome!
Brilliant! Thank you!
Loved this idea... I agree that yes you can see the seem... but maybe if you layer it much closer and or slightly overlay it on top of the other?... But other than that, cute and helpful. Question. You mentioned nufun printable iron on... I have been having issues with it tearing when I send it to the cricut machine (maker) for intricate cuts. Do you guys have this issue as well? bought a new blade thinking it was my blade. Didnt work. I've been using Avery and that guy doesn't tear at all. Want to make nufun work for its Laser printing capability. Do you have any setting suggestions... Thought I might ask. Thank you in advance!
Yes, but really, no material does well with super intricate cuts. We don't recommend using files or fonts with tons of detail with the product. It will not only make cutting hard but applying as well.
I learned to cut intricate designs and small fonts with the washi paper setting. The blade cuts great with no ripping. It is worth a try
Great idea, however, I am still having issues. I am doing the square at the 6.75 x 9.25 and when I go to lock it, it changes the size. Also, one portion (the part not sliced) is still showing the restrictions.
Did you go up top and press unlock? Try it on the tool bar.
Can u use a different brand of Printable Transfer Paper?
For print and cut projects can a laser printer be used?
Looks great!
Thank you!
Thank you. I had forgotten we can do this.
Thank you for watching!
Where you get your paper to print design on?
Hi , what type of tape are you using to hold the owl together? Is it regular tape?
No ma'am, it is heat resistant tape! amzn.to/3e0fajA
Can that tape be used on dark transfer paper? You have to peel it and then press , so I'm wondering if theres a way to make sure it stays and nothing curls
For that we would recommend using this method: th-cam.com/video/5uJxyNiT3fo/w-d-xo.html
Thank you for this. Was very surprised at the size restrictions 😳
You and me both!
I can't figure out how you 'sliced' gaaaaah going nuts over here!
Add a square box in the middle of your pic and press slice. Then print & cut both slices separately.
@@kindnessiscontagious720 IM HAVING A HARD TIME TOO. AFTER I SLICE MY PIC, IT STILL SAY IMAGE TOO LARGE AND WONT LET ME PRINT . HELP. IVE SLICED BEFORE WITH NO PROBLEM BUT THAT WAS JUST A CUT (DECAL), NOT A PRINT AND CUT.. I DONT KNOW IF THAT MATTERS..
I have a 2x shirt what size should I use
Can you use this same format for sizing to do tumbler sublimation
That is a totally different process and you would not need your decal anywhere close to the max size for this :) Good question though!
thank you so much!
Brilliant!!
Thank you!
What’s the paper you used for your image?
Is there a way to do this if the image has already been sliced? I have a svg with pictures already sliced in
You'd probably just use the 9.25 x 6.75 rectangle as a guideline for your sliced pieces then.
Make the rectangle, resize your pieces accordingly (grouping the pieces so that they all resize together, then ungrouping when you're done), then delete the rectangle without any further slicing.
Girl thank you!!!!!!!! 🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤🖤
Thank YOU for watching and commenting!
So do you have to use Starcraft?
Very helpful thank you
Glad it was helpful!
@Makersgonnalearn after slicing and deleting the pieces that aren't need. I still have the caution symbol when I enlarge my image. Ideas???
I have a question I did all the steps and my cricket still cut a little bit of a white border more on the left side and the right side would you know how to go about that so it doesn’t leave a white border?
Rachel have you tried this hack by chance Using nue fun. I really have a lot of nue fun And really don’t want to purchase more printable transfer paper
I have not, but I can!
Thankyou so much
would this printable vinyl work on a light gray sweatshirt?
Ehh, as long as it's pretty light!! You can purchase this material with a white backing so it will show up even better on a colored shirt: www.143vinyl.com/starcraft-transfers-for-dark-materials-8.5-x-11-sheets.html
I've been doing this! The problem I've been having is when I offset the original image to cut a vinyl background to sublimate on.... it never fits correctly when I split the large image.... any suggestions?
Can you do this for sublimating?
Hi nice video but I try to slice I have like real pictures of like purses n jewelry making like a boutique backdrop I grouped it n flatten it and it doesn't want to slice st all can you please tell me why I can't slice it in half useing a shape of a box ? Please I'm on version v 7.3.95 thank you
This is great.
Thank you!
HELLO, very nice tutorial ...is the printable paper the same as the printable fabric?
Hello! It is not, this is a paper type material, not a fabric :)
thank you for your response, can this slice be done on printable fabric.
Hi thank you!
so I’m using Starcraft for darks so I don’t have to mirror it. However when I send it to print the colors are faded and I have a new ink is there a way to fix this?
Mine prints the same when using starcraft. But once you press the colors should brighten up.
I had this issue at first. I adjusted my printer settings to matte photo paper and it came out better.
Snookily thank you I did that and it fixed the problem!! Thank you!
I'm a little confused about using the Teflon sheet. In other videos, you use butcher paper. Can you explain please? Thank you.
Butcher paper is used with sublimation.
Hi i make 8inch by 8 inch and 7 inch by 7 inch cards but keeps saying image too large is there anything i can do so i can print and cut my card on cricut explore air 2 please
I was wondering if there was a way around this rule. Thank you!
Thank you for watching!
As usual you do great tutorials. Thank you for the tips. The only thing I’m confused about is putting the tape I thought the design wouldn’t transfer where ever the tape is?
So, the tape goes on the back, not on the design :) So no harm is done to the design and and all of it will transfer!
@@MakersGonnaLearn yes I know it goes on back but other videos I’ve seen said to try not to make tape be right behind design.
I'm brand new to this and not sure I follow. I am trying to print an image I found and then iron press it onto my shirt with my cricut heat press but I how do I go about printing the image so i can do all that? Like What paper do i use? Thanks!!
You can visit our blog for more information and instructions - makersgonnalearn.com/how-to-print-then-cut-photos/
Is there a way to make 9.3x8.2 image without slicing it, I would rather not have to match it?
I'm having problems with the hieght. I can blow up my image but it always comes out narrow , how can I keep the width from narrowing
Thanks!
You're welcome!
I can’t figure out how to get it to stay together for me to print it after I slice it . What’s the next step after you slice it a put it back together.
Thank you for this
You're so welcome!
Do you have a video on a baby milestone blanket?
Hi anyone know how to cut printed photo 4×6 inches on postcard size. I didn't print it through cricut ( it's been printed through photoshop). I don't know how to place on a mat. It had cutting registration marks as well
Thank you
You're welcome!
I did it!!!! Yay!!
Woohoo! I bet it looks amazing!
can this be done with dark transfer vinyl? If so, how?
Do you have a tutorial where it is a little closer? I am scared to waste the sheets and it not work.
Thanks!
Waiting for answer , im wondering the same thing ,
You can get it perfectly close. I did not feel like completely re-doing the video for that few millimeters when I did teach the technique so you all can do it :) Yes, you can do this with dark transfers the only difference is that the material has a white backing :) Good luck!
How should you use the tape to bind the two piece together ? Most transfer tapes for dark colors do not require you to mirror the image and if the tape is at the back then it would be iron onto the back of the project. Confused?
@@bmsay2I am wondering the same thing. was thinking of using a heat resistant tape and taping the front of the image. hopefully it would peel away. I use the tape when I press sublimation or screen print transfers, just not sure if it would do something to the ink.
Does it have to be this brand of printable htv?
No, it can be any brand you like! Just make sure you read the instructions because some brands need to be mirrored and others dont :)
Just about to do a bigger design on a 5x tshirt, was wondering how i was going to piece this together. Thank you so much for this!!! I knew if I kept looking I'd find something to help me and you were it!
What size did you use for your 5x shirt
How did it go
Yeah, I'm doing a 4X, right now and I didn't want and itty bitty image on such a large canvas.
What about dark transfer paper how would u line the 2 up?
We're not using any transfer paper :)
I also want to know. How to do this with dark fabric printable HTV. I can't put tape on that to hold together
So I didn't use a PNG I created a text on the canvas and I'm not getting the slice option, am I missing something?
How can you line it up very good without the htv tape?
Great question! For that method we recommend heating the pieces one at a time and using a teflon sheet to protect the finished pieces as you heat the others. Allows you to get closer without the tape :)
How do you do for dark fabricks because you have to pull the paper off for transfer first
You will need the formula for dark colors :) www.143vinyl.com/starcraft-transfers-for-dark-materials-8.5-x-11-sheets.html?partner=219904
Excellent video!!!! My friend wants me to do a coat of arms for her husband's bar and I've been going nuts trying to figure it out... this worked and is perfect! Thanks!
So glad it was helpful!
Your awesome at explaining things but I’m still having trouble ☹️. After I slice and putting it back together I still have the orange triangle . I’m not sure what to do afterwards , could it be because maybe I need to turn my square sideways ? I’m trying to print a square image 10x8.5 . To anyone who will take their time to help me I would greatly appreciate it, thank you 😊
do the same thing to the bottom half of ur image that u did to the top. the exact same thing and it should work.thats what i had to do. i was lost at first. i know its been 2 months since u posted this but i hope this helps
i am having issues, im trying to print and cut a image, on the screen it shows that its 5x6 BUT every time i hit make it, the image is big again
Can this be done with siser easysubli?
We have never used that product, so it is difficult to recommend it, but feel free to test it out :)
I see how this will work for light fabric, but this method won’t work on a dark fabric because it uses a different kind of paper. Is there another way to do this for darker fabrics?
StarCraft has the same paper for darker materials
When I try to slice, I lose my image! I feel like there is a step I missed but I've watched the video over and over. The box is already there when we see the video. I uploaded my image, made a box, then sliced and it didn't work. What did I miss? Thank you!
I’m having the same issue!!
Hi what if the image I have is a regular jpeg? I have a jpeg picture of my daughter that I'd like to print out. Can you please help me? 😊 thank you 🙏
I want to do some lage "fathead" style print and cut pieces for my girls' double nursery. One video I have not been able to find is one on larger than mat print and cut (vinyl). I have seen it done with paper, posterboard and HTV but not something like a printed wall decal. MGL- can we get this video!!! :D
Sure! We'll put this on our video list!
Sarah G you can probably buy a full print banner of vinyl decor cheaper by someone who owns a vinyl cutter in your town.
is this sublimation?
How do you slice?
Hey guys, does anybody know if there is a affordable machine on the market, like cricut but just all round bigger. The project I wish to start requires an actual cut of 36 cm (not sure what that is in inches) but all machines on market like cricut and silhouette only cut maximum 11.5 inches. Would help me so much x
There is no affordable machines that will cut that large, unfortunately. we highly recommend The Cricut Explore Air 2: amzn.to/2VxAOos .
The new Cameo 4 has 3 different sized machines
How and where did you get the white box to put the owl on?
This pillow case is just a pillow case from Hobby Lobby :)
@@MakersGonnaLearn thank you
Mine still have the caution for some reason, please help!
Make sure you're slicing it with a square that is no bigger than 6.75" by 9.25"
Why does my cricut cut the black lines instead of around the actual image?
Didn’t work for me. The slice option didn’t pop up after I highlighted the image and the square. What am I doing wrong.
you can only slice 2 layers at a time. That's usually the problem people run into!
Can I use this method to make a large car decal of my logo?
No ma'am. This is HTV, not regular adhesive vinyl. Here is a video all about different types of car decals that might be helpful: th-cam.com/video/kJYedBe9fMA/w-d-xo.html
Oh ok. Thank you.
Can you over lap it so you don’t see the cut you made.
I want a Cricut maker....but this small size print and cut restriction is feeling like its pushing me to buy the Cameo 4. Im looking up videos, but do not wish to spend my future time on hacks to trick a Cricut to do what other companies can do with no such restrictions.
Hello! We understand your frustration. However, unless you plan on doing print then cut SO often, that's not a good enough reason not to get a Cricut. The Cricut is an amazing and easy to use machine, especially compared to the Cameo or the Scan n Cut. What machine you get is totally up to you :)
So what do I do if my print and cut isn’t quite exact so nothing lines up 😭
I’ve tried that but every time I slice it, it still says my image is too large
This was helpful but I didn’t no you get to mirror print and cut,? Have I been doing it wrong all this time or just for this brand ?? 😳
It's just this brand! :) Make sure to read the instructions if you ever use a new brand.
I’m to the point of trying to slice the shape but its greyed out. Why?
You can only slice out 2 layers at a time, so be sure you've not selected anymore layers! :)
I’ve tried several times and it won’t give me the option to slice the image for some reason.
