OLD LEATHER SMITH here. I always like 2 learn something new, thank you. Suggestions, add a few drops of liquid dish soap 2 your water, it breaks the tension of the water and the leather absorbs it faster and more completely.
Use a Blush Brush in stead of the wool dauber you will find it does a better job and you will only do it once. I want 2 learn more so I subscribed. GOD'S BLESSINGS ✝️⚾️🙃
Thank you for the extra information.😊
This is not only the best walkthrough on circuit I've seen, but perhaps the best tutorial I've ever watched on TH-cam. Amazing product, build, instruction, and work. Trying this this weekend. Thank you so much!
THIS VIDEO was THE BEST ONE i have SEEn in My WHOLE 51 YEARS!!!!😲😲😲😲🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰 You SHOULD Have HAD A MILLION for this VIDEO And If You TAUGHT Video CLASSES on EDITING I WOULD BUY IT!!! Be BLESSED😇
My goodness! This is one of the best tutorials on anything I've ever watched! Thank you for such clear and thorough instruction! 🙌🏻
All of her videos are like this. She is the best on teaching techniques using the Cricut , you won’t find anyone better IMO 👍👍👍
I second that. So, so good!
What a phenomenal tutorial. I genuinely can’t thank you enough for sharing this valuable and inspirational video. I do hope the world returns the favor multiple fold for your talent and generosity. Off to tool leather now!
@@joancook8454 much agreed, I have tried many, and there is so little structure to other videos, hers are wonderful.
@@joancook8454his - not her
I bought my Cricut Maker YEARS ago and was quickly overwhelmed so it sat gathering dust until I discovered a couple of TH-cam channels that made it look not only fun but EASY! My “go to” being YOUR channel. I made my VERY FIRST PROJECT LAST WEEK! And thanks to your easy tutorials, I was able to pull it off without a hitch on my very first try! I am so thankful I stumbled across your channel because this was a very special project I needed to do in a short period of time as the intended recipient was someone I had never met (but will now be a forever part of my family) and was only in town for one week and I was nervous I wouldn’t be able to pull it off. It turned out BEAUTIFULLY and she LOVED IT! Now I’m off to find some leather and try this new adventure! Thank you sooooo much for sharing your knowledge and all the time you spend perfecting your craft to help us newbies LOVE our machines! ❤
Got my Maker in 2020 and I have been stalled! I have an OG cricket and was a master… now to try this!
Using transfer tape on the back to keep the mat clean was absolutely mind blowing for me. Thank you so much.
Thank you for sticking with it so you can teach people that want to learn
Wow! I really appreciate the clear, no-nonsense (i.e. the lack of annoying chitchat) approach of this video, no to mention the years of experimenting that it took to get to a good, usable formula. Thank you Clever Someday!
DITTO: the lack of annoying chitchat. Especially during those live streams :(
As a leather worker, I always thought there must be a way to use the Cricut Maker to tool leather. Thank you sooo much for all your time in discovering the way!! This has created endless possibilities for me in my leather shop!!
I don’t know if this will help anyone, but when I stain edges on leather, I use a q-tip and roll it along the edge to minimise spill over. Amazing video!!
Came across this by accident, your calm manner and precise instructions lured me in. I'll check back often and watch for notifications. Thank you.
What a fantastic video! Love the step by step. One thing is that with all the updates that Cricut does to Design Space so often, I have to figure out how to figure out some of the steps. Hopefully you will.make an update. Once again fantastic video. You are the only one that has a video for leather patches. Very insightful!
I have to say this is the best tutorial I have ever seen and listened to. It is clear and easy to understand as well as covering all the important information. Thank you.
you could also go along the back of the leather and scrape some of the thickness off to make your patches more pliable.
Honestly, I have viewed numerous instructional videos and have never been more impressedthan I am with this one! Two thumbs up!
This was such an amazing tutorial! Thank you so much! Having so much fun making patches!
This has got to be the most comprehensive, and well thought out, "How-To" video I've come across in a LONG time! Thank you so VERY much for sharing, and being so thorough.
Edit: I just read through all the resources, links, and more in the description. WOW! Kay, you are AMAZING! Thank you for sharing all your hard work with us.
Precise and thorough ! Thank you for an excellent tutorial!
Kay, as always, your tutorials are precise, thorough and awesome! I can just imagine how many tries you had to do to arrive at this quality. You think of everything and we can be sure that if we follow what you do, we'll arrive at an awesome project too! Great job!!
I just finished the "finisher" on your van patch. Thank you so much!!!
As a leatherworker, I love that the cicut can open leatherworking to others in other flexible ways, however, I def feel it would be much easier to just manually tool it.
Thank you. Straight forward instructions, easy to follow.
Awesome never knew you could emboss leather too !! Love your instructions thanks so much !!
I have been doing this with my Scan N Cut for about 3 years now. I use the emboss feature. I draw up many of my own designs in Ai and bring them up in Canvas Workspace and transfer to my SNC. I wet the leather as well. I use double sticky sided Cat Scratch tape. I have used it on belts, bag patch logos, dog collars, key chains , ornaments and several other leather craft items. I use about 2-3 oz veg tan leather. Do a test to make sure it clears your machine machine head. You will need to set the scanner level to 2. Hard pressure and slow speed on settings.
I also do half cutting on the same leather using the same technique-water and tape. Light pressure settings, slow cutting and I interchange the fine vinyl auto blade (sky blue cap cutter)into the standard (black cap cutter) for a much cleaner cut. Once complete I roll the leather back and forth with my hands to open wide my cuts then take a stain pen and run over the cuts which soak it up to a deep rich color then go stain the whole item with normal staining styles.
Or you can just stain the piece at one time for a more specific subdued look.
You can also draw or emboss your complete pattern for hand cutting too.
This is the best tutorial for custom embossing leather. Thank you!
Kay you are, as always pushing boundaries. Thanks so much for your patience and sharing your amazing techniques. This video is amazing. I want to do this right now xo
Thanks so much! Especially adding links for local stores. You are awesome!!!
Absolute genius…… well organized and easy to follow…… I can’t wait to do this…..
Thank you so much for taking your time to share your knowledge with everybody. This was a fantastic class . It motivates me to do leather projects.
The finished pieces look beautiful! I have been wanting to tool leather using my maker because my carpal tunnel is getting worse. I’m so excited for this! Thanks for another great tutorial Kay!
Kay, you never cease to amaze me! Thank you for this very informative tutorial. I can't wait to give this a try.
I have been looking for a way to tool leather on the cricut for months! Thank you! This looks amazing!
I absolutely love the look you achieved. I really appreciate all the testing and tricks and detailed instructions you come up with for those of us that are not rocket engineers.
This is simply amazing! Thank you so much for all the advice. Great tutorial!
I enjoyed this tutorial. Very clear and not rushed through.
Kay, your tutorials are always so clear and so thorough. Thank you so, so much for the time and effort you put into this work! You constantly push these machines to their limits and open up possibilities and doors for us all. Cheers!
Thank you Kay! I stumbled across this video on a Cricut FB page. You are so good at explaining things! I can't wait to watch more of your videos!
Another great video Kay! I so appreciate your time and attention to detail! You are a gold mine! Thank you!
Agreed! The best tutorial I have ever seen. So thorough. Thank you!
What a wonderful tutorial - it’s like you knew exactly what questions I was thinking of and answered right there in the video! This is so exciting and adds an entirely new aspect to my burgeoning creativity - thank you!!
This is the best Cricut tutorial period. Thanks!
Best tutorial ever! Thank you .
I really like your style of tutorials. Also yay campers. I hope I follow through on trying this myself. Thank you.
I have had a bag of leather scraps in my cupboard for over 40 years from when I used to sell leather bookmarks at Tasmania’s famous Salamanca Market. Always thought I would go back to it but now with my cricut maker 3 (which I love) I will be unearthing my stash and getting back into leather crafting thanks to your well produced and easily followed instructions. Well done and thank you and you now have a new subscriber! Clyde Stawell Australia
This is truly amazing. I love your knowledge. You don't post often but when you do you blow it out of the water. TY for all the work you put forth.
Kay, you are the best instructor ever. I have been following you for years and have learned so much. I don't have a Cricut at this time (I'm a Silhouette user), but I still continue to watch your videos from start to finish because I really enjoy watching the whole process for your projects. Thank you so much.
what a great job of explaining. I could listen to you all day!! thank you.....can't wait to try this.
Thank you so much for this detailed tutorial! I am exploring everything my Cricut Maker can do and sharing my experiences on my weekly crafting podcast. I can't wait to share my experience making the "shine" leather patch! I will be shouting you out on my podcast and social media. Happy Crafting!!
Your videos are incredibly well-made, no-nonsense and informative. Thank you.
Once again you gave us a way to expand these machines beyond anything I, at least, ever imagined!
Hearing you say “pin layer” reminded me fondly of why people in the southern US states say “ink pin” when they are referring to a “pen”, meaning the writing instrument. I once asked a colleague, who had asked me for an “ink pin”, why she specified it that way, and she responded, “well, as opposed to a safety pin, of course!”, like I was the dullest knife in the drawer. 😊. Accents really do tickle my ears. Love yours. And your content, of course!
Thank you so so so much for this tutorial!! I love my little patch!!
Thank you so much for all your hard work and trial and error to bring us this video!!! I LOVE THIS!!! 💕 BEAUTIFUL WORK!!
This is so beautiful! Thank you very much for this very clear tutorial video. 🌸

This video is probably the best instructional I’ve ever seen on ANY subject. Your precise directions and clear enunciation made this so informative! I don’t know if my poor underutilized Maker 2 will ever see this project, but I’m definitely saving the video. You just gained a subscriber. Thanks!
