How to fix your Cricut cutting off-centre | Cricut Tutorials

- UPDATE: Thanks for watching!! I'm so glad this video (seems so long ago now) has helped a bunch of people with the same issue! Unfortunately this fix didn't last that long for me and so I ended up switching to a Silhouette Cameo about a year later (personally, I'm so glad I made the switch).
* IS THE SECOND HALF OF YOUR PAGE CUTTING OFF-CENTRE? *
If you've already calibrated, readjusted and tried everything, but the second half of your page is still cutting off-centre then this might be the solution for you!
I was pulling my hair out because I couldn't figure out how to save my second sticker sheet. THIS is the only thing that worked for me and a few weeks later, it's still working perfectly for me!
Did I miss anything or skim over a part too fast? Please let me know!

Hey, I'm Jess! I upload weekly studio vlogs and I have a shop called Planned By Jysla where I make printable and digital planner pages, illustrated stickers and more. I love the beauty in the every day and little moments. I'm also learning to draw so you'll see me practise a lot :)

Hey everyone, i found out how to solve this problem.🤗 At least one that worked for my cricut. I had the exact same problem where the cuts were off every single time. They seemed to be shifted so the bottom and to the right. I could solve this by doing a firmware update on my cricut machine. You will find this option in the menu bar in the cricut design space. BUT before you do the update, there is one step you need to do, in order for it to work: You need to simultaneously press down the power button and the load/unload button (the one with the two arrows) and hold it down for aprox. 5 sec. until the power button turns red. And then you can go to the menu in the Cricut design space and start the firmware update. After the update is complete, your cricut should cut perfectly :)
Pinned your comment as it may help other people! I had already tried this with my Cricut and it didn’t make a difference for me but it might be the solution for others - thank you for sharing the detailed steps!
I’ve tried to press both down at the same time with my Cricut explore air 2 and it won’t flash red 😑plugged in and clicked update and the design space said it is already updated. So I now need to figure out if it’s a misalignment or me as when I first import my sticker layer they over lap the title being the same size as the background so I manually resize them to fit against the background. When I have done this to match a extra bleed line I have made in the backing sheet for coloured backgrounds the sticker cut has still been in the wrong place 😢
I’m gunna try this thank you!
Hi everyone, this worked for me. I have a Cricut Explorer Air 2. I was having such a hard time, but once I updated it - it stopped drifting when it started to get to the end of the page. This post was a blessing. Thank you!
Unfortunately I just tested this and my machine went from cutting about .03cm off the sticker to not being able to read from the sensor at all. After going through all troubleshooting posts I could find & reddit posts I'm stuck with a machine that won't cut :').
I just tried this and it worked amazingly. Thank you so so so so so so so much because I was ready to hang myself with the damn USB cable.
Thanks so much for coming back and saying so!!!! I’m SO glad it worked for you and I can relate all too well - I hate when it cuts off! 😂
Great video, but nobody's talking about how aesthetic this shot is. The lighting, depth of field, and idea is all so cool
You are too kind - thank you so much!!! ❤️
Amazing! You'd think after years of complaining about this common problem they would address the issue themselves lol. Thank you so much, I had to alter it to 0.03 but as you said, trial and error and tbh, it was only 3-4 trials on the same piece of paper which is nothing compared to the amount of stickers that have not been perfect. Thank you once again!!!
Yay I'm so happy it worked for you!! It's crazy how Cricut ignores that it's a real issue and that it's within "acceptable" error limits.
I was having the same problem and trying everything. I came across your video and followed all your steps and it works miraculously. Thanks so much...!!!
I’m so glad it worked for you!!! Thanks so much for coming back to let me know 🥰❤️
Yessss! Thank you! I’ve wasted so much paper and sticker paper by accident trying to fix and correct this! This helped TREMENDOUSLY!! I was so worried I bought the cricket for nothing 😭😭
I just saw this but YAY!!! I'm so glad it worked for you and I hope it continues to work well for you and save your paper 😭
THANK YOU so much for sharing this! You have saved me so much time and heartache. I would hate to see my second sheet nearly go to waste, but I will try your solution. It makes complete sense I am sure it will work out great!
I really hope this works for you!! 🙏🏼❤️
Farrr Outt you are an A N G E L!! I have spent the entire day trying to fix this problem and was about to buy a whole new printer as I was convinced that was the problem!!! Came across your video and as sceptical as I was that it would work for me... IT DID! I am so thankful xx
YAY I'm so happy it worked for you and that you didn't have to buy a new printer haha, thanks so much for coming back and letting me know!! 🥰
Thank you so much! I just bought a brand new Cricut Maker and this happens to me every time. You're a life saver!
You're so welcome! And I'm sorry to hear that you're already having issues with your new Cricut :(
THANK YOU!!! I’ve been experiencing this problem and have wasted so much time, paper and ink!! I will definitely try this tip! Also, this is such a beautiful video!
Thank you so much Erin!! Really hope it works for you ❤️
omg I was getting SO frustrated with problem and literally there are no videos out there about this!! THANK YOU SO MUCH WOW
Omg you're so welcome!! I felt the exact same way when I had this problem and I'm so glad this worked for you!!
You came up with a wonderful discovery. I can’t always work off my desktop to make the adjustments you’ve mentioned, so while using my iPad, I’m experiencing the same issues on a brand new machine. I’ve also tried the cable as well as blue tooth methods. For some reason, I feel this is in the programming mode for calibrating by a print sheet. Possibly our printers don’t print nice clear boundary lines for the calibration cut. I’m not sure about that but either way I’m going to try “tricking or tweaking” by answering the calibration questions differently by picking different both horizontal as as vertical lines as necessary. Instead of choosing the best cut lines, I’ll be experimenting with other lines. Possibly, this may be a solid fix all around at least for the printer I’m using. I mention this so you or others might want to give this method a try as well as yours to see if it helps. Basically, making accurate projects with this expensive machine is what I believe we’re all seeking. As we all know, drawing, cutting and engraving can be quite time laborious and supply usage factors to increase and personally, I don’t have an unlimited checkbook. The Cricut system is certainly not new on the market so with that said, possibly they might rethink their firmware write. Though I do feel the designers do a nice job, possibly they could develop some workouts for this very common issue. I’m not an expert in anything anymore so I can only suggest trying all different methods to calibrate the cricut machines to whatever printer we’re using. And if you have different printers to try, possible that may be another angle to try on the ideas presented here. I’m also wondering about writing a calibration sheet with my maker. It’s a long shot I realize, I don’t know if it’s even remotely possible to upload an image of the calibration sheet I printed in with my printer in order to write it with my maker and then use that to calibrate with. It’s just an idea. Anyway, thank you so much for sharing what works for you and that it is helping others but I feel you/we shouldn’t be forced into all the extra steps especially when you/we spend more than enough time creating. May God Bless.
You're absolutely correct that we definitely shouldn't need to do all these extra steps just so that the machine works properly! It's such a shame. Hope you are able to make it work. I have since switched to a Silhouette machine and have had much, much less problems since.
You are not alone. I've been searching everywhere trying to figure out how to fix this. I have the explore air 2 and have been attempting to make cake/cupcake toppers but it won't cut center for me. Trying your tricks! Thank you for posting!
Argh I hope it works for you!!
YOU are my hero!!!!! I have trouble for months and it drove me bonkers!!!! not from bottom but it was cutting to close to the left side. So I had to change my Y settings just as you explained and OH MY GOODNESS it made me so happy this is it! Crazy to think we need to do this to make it work, but so happy YOU found this solution! Thanks again so much for sharing!
Ahhh I’m seriously so happy it worked for you!! Thank you so much for coming back and leaving a comment!! Hopefully things with the Cricut are a bit better now (though we know there’s always going to be other problems lol). ❤️❤️❤️
@@plannedbyjysla yes, that was the least I could do (and subscribed to your channel of course!) I am also sending the link to your video to everybody I know having trouble with this.
ohhh my god, I have to try this tomorrow. If this works for me, you are literally my hero haha, been searching for a way to fix this for so long! Thank you! ♥
Ahh please let me know if it worked for you!!! I couldn’t find the solution anywhere when I had the same problem 😭
literally the same problem! thank you for this, it’s not just me! 💜
I thought it was just me too!! Hope it solves your problem now 🥰❤️
YAY! You finally got it fixed! I'm so happy for you
Omg thank you so much!! You’re so sweet 😭❤️
Thank you SO much for sharing Jess, you saved me! I'm really glad that I found your video. I was dealing with the same issue and got so frustrated. In my case (4 planner sticker sheets, vertical, height 9.25) I had to add 0.02 cm to the X position. It's insane with how much issues the machine is being produced. 🙃
You're SO welcome! Thank you for coming back and leaving a comment! It's seriously frustrating that the machine even needs this kind of fix, but I'm so glad it helped you ❤️
@@plannedbyjysla Jess I mentioned you and this video in my new video I hope this is okay with you. 🧡
Of course that's okay! Thank you so much for the mention and link - that was really sweet of you!
Omg I was having the same issue tonight!! I calibrated it again and again!! Thank you so much!!! X
You're so welcome!! I'm glad it helped!!
Thank you so much for this tutorial! I was about to go down a rabbit hole trying to solve the issue. Much appreciated!😊
You're so welcome and I hope it works well for you!
Woo! This tricked worked for me! At first, I changed my x-axis cause I thought maybe my stickers were cutting off differently than hers. But then I tried it again and followed her steps exactly and it worked! Thank you so much.
YAY! I’m so glad it worked for you!! Thanks so much for leaving a comment and letting me know 🥰
Just wanted to leave a comment here to thank you! I was getting so frustrated with my cricut maker!!! Just as you say you do have to play around with the Y axis to get it to your cut preference! For me, moving it the opposite direction by 0.02 or 0.03 worked the best! You don’t move the X axis but for me I move it when needed! I rather play around with that than to constantly calibrate 😭 idk about anyone else but doing this has been by far the most helpful tip ever for print and cut on cricut!
Thanks so much for your comment and coming back to let me know 🥺 I’m really glad it helped!!
I think you just saved my shop’s life! THANK YOUUUUUUU!
YAY!!!! You’re so welcome and I hope it keeps working for you 🤞🏼
This is happening to me to! It's so frustrating! I am going to try these tips out for sure
Omg!!! THANK YOU!!! Ihqve the same problem.with my cricut maker 3 - and I have tried EVERYTHING. Gonna try this and see. Thanks again
Hope it works for you!! 🥺🤞🏼
I honestly never comment on YT videos, BUT OH MY GOD THANK YOU SO MUCH, I was about to yeet my brand new machine out of the window before I tried this! You are an angel and we do not deserve you.
Thank YOU for your comment!!! I’m so happy this helped you and condolences for your crappy cuts 😭
Worked perfectly, after 6 months of throwing out half of our stickers something actually worked
Omg I’m so happy to hear that!! Thanks so much for coming back to let me know! I’m so glad it works for you!
Planned By Jysla No, thank you! Like the difference is incredible; imgur.com/a/zH4pcfL
Gonna save so much paper, ink and hours of angrily calibrating when the calibration cuts perfectly but nothing else does lmao
Angry calibrating, that's so relatable hahaha. YAY that's amazing, it looks SO much better and your stickers are so cute. Even with this trick, Cricut still likes to mess up sometimes, but I hope it's way more consistent now!!
I'm sure you're feeling good and OK with this but if you do an entire sheet of stickers, you'll notice the entire page is just slightly rotated! So! Another alternative is to rotate the print by 0.52 or so degrees - print - rotate it back to 0 degrees, then cut with that template.
It's so crazy to me that we have to find these crazy workarounds!
Thank you for your tip Nessa! I'm sure this will helpful for others!
THANK YOU !!! I just duplicated the project and named one _print, and _cut with the slight repositioning from your tip. thanx a bunch !
Duplicating the project is much more efficient! So smart, thanks for sharing your tip!! So happy it worked for you 🥰
This happens to me non stop... THANK YOU
I hope it fixes your problem!!! ❤️
Brilliant. It fixed my cutting problem. Thanks so much.
Ah I'm so happy to hear that!! You're so welcome ❤️
I absolutely have this issue but mine needs a horizontal nudge of .05 or so. Also, I’ve noticed the machine can pull the mat in slightly crooked sometimes. I have to think that’s related.
thank you so much, this was a godsend!! i spent all night trying to calibrate the cricut and edit my project but this is ingenious!
Yay you’re so welcome!! And I hope it works for you! Calibrating the Cricut is the worst!
I have the same issue, I print stickers so I can toss em in with merch shipments, and it drives me nuts how my machine cuts about 2mm up and to the left. This seems a bit laborious but is probably the best solution I have found yet.
I am having this problem and wasted almost 20 pieces of sticker paper and ink trying to figure this out! I will try this and hopefully it works!! thanks for posting this!
Me too :( Took me such a long time to figure out a fix and I wasted sooo much paper and ink too. I really hope it works for you! Please let me know if it does! ❤️
@@plannedbyjysla So I was able to fix it. However, I am trying to make a sticker kit and cut the edges of the 2 sheets on my cricut using the cardstock option instead of using a manual cutter. The first page is perfect, but for some reason the right page's edge, even though I flatten it with the stickers, are cutting SO close to the edge no matter the dimensions i put! It's a little different than what you explained in your video, so I hope to figure it out :)
I have this exact problem EVERYTIME!! going to try this thanks 🤗
I really hope it works for you!!! 🙏🏼
I have this problem also!!! It's so frustrating. I have a different circuit machine then yours but I'm going to try all your suggestions!
Good luck, hope it works 😥
I HAVE THIS PROBLEM AND IT'S SO ANNOYING!!! Thanks for making this video :D
Super annoying :( You're so welcome!!!
Hello, I ran into the same issue and tried your tips, it did work! But I am aware that my mat is not in a good condition since I always bend it to take my stickers down. I recalibrated my machine with a new mat, and without adjusting anything it worked perfectly again :) I guess mat could be a reason why Cricut cuts off-center, too.
Just got a Maker last week and having the same issue with stickers. Thanks for making this video. I would have just kept trying to calibrate.
Thank you so much for your comment and I’m so glad it worked for you!!
This worked perfectly!! Thank you so much!!
Yay! You’re so welcome 🥰
I’ve had the same problem too. Soooo annoying! 😭 thank you for sharing
Super frustrating! Hope it works for you :(
Thank you, will definitely try it!
Omg this is such a smart idea!! It’s annoying, but I’m going to try this as even though I’ve calibrated a bunch and followed stuff on Reddit it’s cutting my sticker sheets like a few mm off to the right and it’s so frustrating. I’m going to try this and see if it works tomorrow. I wasn’t going to waste more stuff. My die cuts print fine, it’s this that has an issue.
How did you go?! Fingers crossed it helped a bit!!
You are god sent !!!!! It is finally working !!! Man I love you lol
Omg YAY!!! I’m so glad it worked for you too! Most annoying problem ever! ❤️❤️❤️
I’ve subscribed purely for this video ❤ I am on trial day three
Hey have you tried print then cut calibration I had the same problem and that fixed it you can also calibrate you sensors and blade for best cuts
Yesssssssssss!!!! Thank you so much!!! This worked for me!! Thank you thank you thank you!
Omg yesssss, I’m so glad it worked for you!! You’re so welcome! 🥰
Thank you for posting this! I tried this method but sadly doesn't work for me. After multiple trial and error attempts, I thought my paper wasn't cutting accurately/correctly because it would never lay nice on the mat and I would maybe get 1 good sheet out of the 4 printed to a page. I now know that it was the Cricut mat that came with the machine that was causing the misalignment issues. I bought a new mat, calibrated twice and did a print and cut and lo and behold... definitely confirmed it was the mat because I got a good cut!! I hope this helps someone.
Hey thanks so much for leaving a comment with a great tip!! So glad to hear you fixed your problem!
Will try a new mat, thank you
works like a charm, thank you
Thank you so much for this tip sweetie💕!! I'm having the same issue so I'll definitely give this a try 🍀
Thanks again and greetings from Mexico ^.^/♥
I really hope it worked for you!!
@@plannedbyjysla Today I finally tested it and it worked ♥. I'll just need to make more tests and adjustments on the measurements but it worked as a charm! Thank you so much again sweetie ♥!!
Thank you so much!!! I was so close to returning the machine! 😊😅
I’m so glad it worked for you!! It was only a temporary fix for me unfortunately but hope it lasts longer for you ❤️❤️❤️
@@plannedbyjysla did the cut move again?
It became a bit too unpredictable in the end and I tried to calibrate it again but that completely messed it up! But this trick definitely does save a lot of sticker sheets and hope it’s more consistent for you!!
THANK YOU SO MUCH, THIS WORKED
Oh yay!!! I'm so glad it worked for you!
thank you, this was very helpful
Thank you Anthony, I'm glad it was helpful for you!
Thank you SOOOOO MUCH for this video. I am currently on the phone on hold waiting for cricut support (been about 30 minutes so far but I'm determined) because of this issue. But I think I've managed to make my problem worse ... I've recalibrated what feels like 60 times in the past 3 days (and wasting a truck load of paper and ink)... and now.. it won't even cut the top portion of the page properly anymore and just goes whack right of the bat. -_-.... If support can't help me ... hoping I can try this trick (if I manage to get it back to cutting at least the top portion correctly.. ahhhhhhhhhhhhh)
I’ve heard that Cricut support is impossible to get a hold of :( Recalibrating sometimes makes it worse for me too. I’m glad I could help a bit with this trick and hope you can get your problem solved :(
I’ve been having the same issue !! I feel like cricut should fix this issue or give us a new one that works properly. That’s basically the whole point to purchasing a cricut. It is frustrating I’ve reached out to cricut support and haven’t heard anything back 🤦🏻♀️
It’s ridiculous how many people have problems with their Cricut :( I hope this fix helps with your issue!
This was happening with my machine, had to refund a customer because she wasn't happy that the stickers were a mil or 2 out, it is damn frustrating, so you are definitely not alone with this problem, got rid of the cricut, and currently awaiting a Brother scan and cut, it seemed that the cricut would only work with hacks, that tells me there is something wrong with the machine itself, I had a maker one too, I wish I would of seen this video sooner though, it makes sense, but annoying that it is a problem as it wastes so much paper, great video and very helpful x
So so frustrating!! There is definitely some serious hardware faults with the Cricut and so many people have been having similar issues. Thank you so much! Hope you have much better luck with the Brother scan and cut!
Praying this works!!! Im ready to throw it away.
Ahhh good luck, praying this works for you too 🙏🏼 I also recently moved my Cricut to a brighter spot and it’s cutting perfectly!!
I'm currently going through this!!! I have to adjust my artwork with every sheet but it seems inconsistent. One will print great and another will be slightly off argh! I'm wondering if I should've gone with the Silhouette. Thank you for making this video! It's nice to know it's not just me haha
I have both and the very first print and cut project on my Cameo 4 went perfectly.
Definitely not just you!! It’s super unreliable but recently I moved my Cricut closer to a window and it’s been cutting perfectly without needing to be nudged!! But yes a Silhouette would have been a better buy 😂
@@plannedbyjysla I wonder if adding a lamp near my cutter would help??🤔
Omg thanks for this tip! I’m gonna try it! I have the exact same issue! I messaged cricut and they said my machine is fine because it’s cutting writhing the expected parameter.. 😑
That’s so frustrating :( I hope this works for you!!
Oh my god thank you 😭😭 They wanted to replace my cricut but it’s a special color and I was on the ohone with them for 3 hrs over this yesterday. There have been HORROR stories online about it.
THANK YOUUU
Omg YAY! I'm so glad this worked for you!! You may still run into problems now and then (because Cricut is so unpredictable) but hopefully it's a lot better. Thanks so much for coming back to let me know!! ❤️
I calibrated 4 times none of the test cuts come close to prefect and my stickers are never cut centered. I tried the white crayon hack and the scotch tape
thank you for this video!
You're so welcome ❤️
Would this work as well with four sheets instead of two? I hope this works. I’m excited to try. I may have to get a silhouette instead. Thank you so much for posting this. :)
Hey! I haven’t tried with 4 but if they’re consistently cutting off-Centre then it should work also! Good luck - please let me know how you go!!
im having this problem still, im going to try this!
Please let me know it works for you!! Such a frustrating problem - fingers crossed!
What about if you are not printing. Just cut? My Cricut keeps cutting too high or to the left. Even though it shows where I want it cut on my computer.
Hmmm it sounds like you need to calibrate your machine
If you don’t mind me asking, what are the paper & color matching & color settings that you use for your sticker paper? I have epson as well but my stickers are not coming out as vibrant as I’d like them to.
Hi! Not at all, printer settings can be so tough to figure out!! Colour matching should be “EPSON color controls” and I use paper type “EPSON Matte” and under Colour settings I use “Manual Settings” and in Advanced I choose Gamma 2.2. I’ve reduced magenta by 2 but only because I seemed to always have a slight pink cast. And my colour profile is AdobeRGB. The main thing is to not let the printer decide for you what’s the best settings because the colour settings won’t match what you see on your screen in Photoshop for example. If it’s still dull, try different colour profiles :) Hope that helps!
I know the frustration! My cricut maker has nearly departed out the window several times!
I also have an issue sometimes with double cutting, the Cricut will cut the entire sheet correctly and then when it should finish, it starts all over again, I've spoke to Cricut staff several times and gone through all their troubleshooting over and over and nothing stops it. Swear the Cricut team think I'm crazy because none of them have ever seen this problem before 😂. I can cut the same sheet five times absolutely fine and then the sixth it might decide to cut it again haha its the strangest, most annoying thing ever!
Glad you fixed your issue though, I think Cricuts just cut whatever they like tbh lol catch it in a bad mood and your screwed 😂 xx
I was cutting stickers today and had the double cutting issue happen to me three times. You are def. not alone in the pain. If this happens again, I might send them an email so they become aware that this is a more common issue than they think.
Omg finally someone knows the pain 😂. It's so frustrating!
Good idea, I'm going to speak to them again too, hopefully they can fix whatever bug is causing it x
Ahh omg how did I miss your comment, so sorry! Wow I’ve never heard of the double cutting before... that sounds super frustrating. Do you manage to stop the machine before it starts cutting again?
Omg haha so true, bloody moody Cricut machines with their own stubborn personalities 😂
@@plannedbyjysla haha no worries sweet, so nice to hear from you.
Sometimes I get there just in time, but it took a lot of picking tiny little stickers off the mat before I realised what the problem was. I originally thought it was just cutting with far too much pressure, wasn't until I realised how long it was taking to cut that I noticed it double cutting. It's so annoying, I have no idea what triggers it.
They are definitely moody machines lol.
Xx
OMG so its not just my machine! I am having the same issues with my new maker and it is wildly inconsistent. So Frustrating!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Thank you for coming back to leave a comment 🥺 Happy it was helpful for you!
I'm having that issue right now! It worked fine last week and all of a sudden its off center. I'll try this and see.
It's so frustrating!! Fingers crossed it works for you, please let me know how you go!
Thank you for the video and solution! But…have something changed? Is there a better way?
I didn’t figure out a better solution unfortunately :( I’ve switched to a Silhouette Cameo since making this video and have had significantly less issues
@@plannedbyjysla okay…thank you for answering! I already got a replacement device from Cricut but it is still bad 😂
Oh no… that sucks :(
Since my joy is cutting more upper do I do the same thing but put it more upper? By 4 ?
Yes just move the cut in the opposite direction! So if it’s cutting too high, then you’ll want to move it down more :) The number might be a bit different for you, but good luck!! Let me know how you go
Did you calibrate your machine using printer settings set to "Exact Size" instead of "Fit to Page" or extension settings set off?
I don’t think I was able to change those settings when printing the calibration sheet straight from Cricut! But in my many attempts to calibrate, I also printed outside of Design Space and tried both but it still didn’t work for me. Only countering the offset worked for me!
I'm having the exact problem that's why I'm here. thank you I'll try this.
Hope it works for you!! Good luck!
I seen you used this trick with the print and cut function, would this work for just regular cuts? My print and cuts tend to be fine. Whenever I use an image as a cut, it produces an off center product.
Hey! If it is consistently cutting off centre then it might work but I've never tried that/had that problem sorry! Good luck, hope it works :)
I saw another video with the same issues, when she printed her calibration page her printer settings were "fit to size" and "print in black and white". So she made sure her printer settings were "actual size" and "color" and it worked perfectly when she calibrated her cricut.
I did try that too but unfortunately it never worked for me :(
thank you so much!
You’re so welcome, I hope this worked for you ❤️
Do you only move the second sticker one or both? Also thank you so much for this, I really needed it!
I just moved the second stickers :) You’re so welcome and I hope it works!!
T_T Thank you for posting, I'll be trying this out today. I'm having the exact same problem. With some updates or calibrations it will work okay and then the next time I go to print this problem comes up all over again. It's been so frustrating I'm about to throw in the towel and just get a Silhouette instead.
Ahhh so frustrating, I really hope it works for you. I used this trick for a while but eventually it would just get worse and worse and unpredictable that I've since switched to a Silhouette and have way less cutting accuracy issues now!
@@plannedbyjysla I know ; _; It's so upsetting because I bought the Maker with high hopes and it's been nothing but problems. I started watching your later videos (Your vlogs are so cute T wT!) and seen you got the Silhouette ^^ I'll probably switch over in a couple months.
First try the Cricut spat it on the floor after the scan lol then started cutting at the top of the mat 😂 tried again and this time it’s cutting. Il check if it’s aligned right when it’s done
It’s much better than before but still off to the left more sadly
I’m making lots of seconds here 😂 we’ll I need to move the alignment up quite abit and to the right. I’m going to try your pinned comment option first to save paper and then try doing your method in the x? I’m not sure 🤔 I’m using the laptop software
How are you going now with your Cricut? 🥺
My cricut is cutting off center as well. Have you found any other solutions by now? I don't want to bother with the numbers every time I cut. Thank you.
You can streamline the process by duplicating the cut layers (a flattened layer for printing and a cut layer that’s already nudged). So no need to play around with numbers every time.
I am getting the same thing when I print just reg stickers as well and they are not attached should I move those down
Hey Wendy - if it happens consistently then it could work!
I am having the same issue but mine cuts towards the right, and the left side is so off. I hope this helps but I was wondering perhaps I need to shift the "X" rather than the "Y" if that makes sense.
Sounds like that's what you need! I think the machines are so unpredictable that everyone's cut is off by different amounts and different directions. I hope it works for you!
do you have to attach and detach or can you just keep it individually because im not doing sticker packs? also tysm for this!!
Hey! You don’t have to attach if you don’t need to! But attaching is important for telling Cricut to keep everything together on the mat if positioning matters :)
thank you so much!!!
Thank you so much for watching and I hope it solved the problem for you!! 🥰
literally having this issue right now and about to try it lol
Ahh how did you go?! I hope it helped!
I’m going to have to try this. I’ve noticed that my second sheet always cuts off too when the first is perfect. Even after I calibrate it.
Omg it sounds like the exact same issue! Good luck, I really hope it works!!
Happening to me too just now 😭
Same thing happening to me.. so frustrating! Plus, now it doesn’t want to save my calibration 🤷🏻♀️ it says that it’s “unable” to do it... okaaaay
if i have 3.336 as the y value, since you did moved 4, what do i set mine to?
It depends how off your Cricut is cutting but I move it by 0.02 so your y value would go up or down by that amount depending what direction it’s cutting off!
Oh my goodness. I stopped using mine because it kept butchering my sticker edges on one side. Nothing worked to fix it. I may have to try this.
Ahh I hope it works for you!
Was making stickers with 10 pages all 1 small design and about halfway through the blade or whatever decides to be a few cm or so off😂 not sure what the issue is
Do u know if you're able to RESET a cricut air 2? My calibration went SO Wrong and I can't use my machine!
Hey! I’m not sure how to reset sorry but have you tried calibrating again? :(
I tried the calibration sheet and it got fix. now it cuts accurately
This happened to me as well! Have you tried to calibrate the Cricut through Cricut Design Space? It worked perfect!
Unfortunately calibrating made things so much worse for me :(
I have this problem as well. It's stressing me out!!
Hope you can find a solution :(
If you have the cricut program at full size (covering your entire screen) the printing screen will not show up in the back, it will always pop up in the front 😇 just what I’ve learned. Everytime it’s not a maximum size on my screen, the printing screen always pops up behind everything
THIS IS AN AMAZING TIP, thank you!!! It works perfectly every time 🙌🏼
Wonderful, I’m so happy it worked out for you!!!
THIS HELPED SO MUCH THANK YOU
I dont get it? wdum?
So, you print and move it every time? So, if I’m printing and then cutting, won’t it end up super imposed if it does it every time or do you just have to do it the one time? Sorry, I’m confused 😓
I would recommend creating separate layers for “printing” and then “cutting” (hiding the other layer when not using) so that you don’t get mixed up moving them back and forth! So once you print, you go back to design space, hide the “printing” layer and show the “cutting” layer. So only one is showing at a time. Also the cutting layer should be set to only cut :)
im sure its been said but did you try recalibrating your machine?
Yes, calibrating made it much worse for me!
What’s the best heat Bunin white for printers to buy
Sorry I'm not sure what your question is!
When your aligning your paper on the mat, do you di it before the white line, over the white line? I'm a bit unsure
Hey Tiffany! That's something that always confuses me but I put just before the white line (not on top) so that there's no gap between the line and the paper. It shouldn't matter too much since it *should* be accurate when reading the registration marks but I hope that helps :)
@@plannedbyjysla oh okay! Thank you!
Great video though it didn't fix my issue: the machine keeps cutting too far on the right :(
