Dan,
EXCELLENT Video. I am ready to try my vinyl. Great instruction and great reasoning at the end.
It is so good to have a CLEAR step by step instructional video that is easy to relate to and so easy to understand.

Thanks for the great video!
When can I purchase transfer tape on a big role like the one you used?

Hmm, This is an interesting video. In it the demonstrator uses every toy Cricut sells, and quite frankly he is showing about $600 more stuff than one needs to make that simple cut. It is a poor representation of how simple, cheap and efficient Cricut can be.

Hi Jazznjava – you make compelling points, no doubt! He is a reseller though and a popular one at that! Some people have never seen Design Studio software in action so part of the video lets them observe that….just a demo of all the stuff at once! As you stated, definitely NOT needed to cut vinyl. Thanks for watching!

Thank you for this video. The settings of pressure medium and blade 4 didn’t work for my non-Cricut vinyl but your comments helped me fine tune my system. “it should cut like butter so the blade will just barely cut through the vinyl and leave the paper. I ended up making a single cut repeatedly until the blade cut through the vinyl like butter instead of a jagged edge. That blade depth was 1.5 on my deep cut blade. Hope this helps someone out there!

Yea, excellent video-except for the incorrect explanation of the material thickness (3 millimeters?!), improper technique (applying transfer tape, removing the backing sheet and applying the vinyl), wrong terminology (wax paper) and incorrect information (60 degree blade for cheap cal vinyl?!, just scratch the surface, double faced transfer tape) it’s great!!!
