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!
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
Thank you for sticking with it so you can teach people that want to learn
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!
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😇
Using transfer tape on the back to keep the mat clean was absolutely mind blowing for me. Thank you so much.
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!
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.
Thank you for your precise and so very clear instructions, as usual. Thanks again!
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.
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 :(
:-) so many comment... but also as a leather worker, I use a large sharpie to dye my edges and Tokonole to smooth those edges to a nice smooth finish. While I'm not a patch guy, I like the idea of tooling floral designs. I need to try this to save time. thanks.
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.
Two things to try: 1) wet your leather with water mixed with approximately 10% alcohol ( rubbing of course) and put in the refrigerator if hot outside, wrapped in plastic bag to maintain and preserve the moisture. Let the leather air dry for a while before tooling, does not have to be natural color or completely dry.
When tooling on a work bench the bevels are cut very shallow before setting the figure tools to leather and it sounds as though you may be able to accomplish this with a lite setting on your blade and then running the burnishing tool. I don't know cricket so just idea from an old leather worker . I love what you did!
Great tutorial! I learned so much! Thank you!❤️❤️
Honestly, I have viewed numerous instructional videos and have never been more impressedthan I am with this one! Two thumbs up!
Awesome tutorial! Thanks so much for sharing your experience with us!
Thank you so so so much for this tutorial!! I love my little patch!!

Love, love, love this! You are awesome! Thank you
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.
Thanks so much! Especially adding links for local stores. You are awesome!!!
That was awesome... well put together and easy to follow. Thank you.

Excellent!!! Thank you such for all your hard work and research! Thank you for sharing!
This is a great tutorial! Thank you!
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.
WOW. Epic tutorial....thank you
Thank you so much, best clear video ever watched x
Another great video Kay! I so appreciate your time and attention to detail! You are a gold mine! Thank you!
Great job! Really good tutorial! Very thorough! 👍🏻
This tutorial is AMAZING!!! Thank you so much.
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!
Super informative! Thanks for sharing the process!!
Thank you so much for this video. I can't wait to try this.
Great video. Thank you.
Thank you for such detailed video!
Thank you for such an amazing tutorial!
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!
Great video! Thank you for sharing this process and for all the work you did to finally devise the best way to do this! I’m excited to try it!
This was amazing tutorial. Thank u
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.
Wow that was awesome!! Thank you for the tutorial ❤
Thank you for a great tutorial, very comprehensive :)
