@ashpoe I used rayon for the cupcake top and had no problems with it shredding, the bottom was cotton and I cut it out by hand.
Was excited about cutting fabric because I do a lot of embroidery digitizing for applique & cutting the fabric pieces to make them fit is tedious. Made 3 cuts with best luck on the first. It went downhill. I cut the letter N from one of my computer fonts using the SCAL software. I think success depends on the complexity of the design and pure luck in getting your piece of fabric to stay stuck to the mat. Make sure when you cut a letter to flip it in your SCAL software. More later!
just got my Cricut
saw tis video and was excited i bought every thing in the video
but i am having problems with the fabric keeps shredding what am i doing wrong i have the expressions
i am haivng so many problems with the fabric shredding i am so frustrated i want to send it back can someone please help me
wow so amazing!! great help thanks
Hello, I am Completely a novice at this whole thing, and thanks to your video, I am going to attempt to try this using my Cricut
expressions in order to make a banner for my son’s t-ball team. I would like to make BIG letter for the banner…so I would need a ton of that Steam a Seam 2 for each letter, right?? How much would that cost? And its Blade 6, Pressure hi, and I want to make each letter 8″ (paper size)…do I need the painter’s tape? I am so nervous abou messing this up.
One more thing I just remembered!! Adhere fabric to mat successfully by using a straight edge or spatula from mat instruments. I rubbed the spatula over the fabric firmly quite a few times so that the fabric stayed adhered without the tape.
That all made it work for me…
Wanted to also let you know how I successful after trying several times and failing. I used the regular blade set at 6 in my expression machine with SPEED on 3 and pressure on Hi or Max. I ironed my fabric onto the SAS2 as directed. I took off the paper backing that was still on the webbing. Faced fabric web side down. Did not need to use flip button. After loading, I used the up/down arrow so there was fabric showing before the blade began to cut. Questions — let me know!!
I just finished a project yesterday using Sas2. You can get it Joann Fabrics.
@amjPeace We’ve only ever used 100% cotton, nothing else. I have another Cricut
demo on Saturday so I might try it one more time but I almost think using the Sizzix to cut fabric might make more sense since there’s no way for the fabric to move out of place on that.
@rgrover5690 I actually do the Cricut
demos in my store and I’ve tried multiple times, multiple different ways and have only had moderate success cutting VERY BASIC shapes. As in circles, hearts, etc. My boss said that she used Heat ‘N Bond in between 2 pieces of fabric and that it worked for her. I always try it with 100% cotton like a calico or fat quarter. I’ve tried the tape, etc. I feel like the moon and stars must have to be in alignment for this to work right. LOL
OMG thank you. I am happy that you made this vidoe. It was fun and easy to understand. I do have only 2 queston where do you get the steam a seam 2 and can you use either Cricut
to make this project.
@mstennille12 I am having the same problems as you and getting so frustrated with the video that makes it look so easy.
Have you resolved the problems if so please quickly tell me how. I have a project due tomorrow!!!!!????
Thank you so much…my head is swirling with ideas. TFS!!!!!
THANK YOU!!! Holy cow, I tried a million different ways to cut out fabric and it did NOT work like it did in the video. Why I never tried painter’s tape, I don’t know …. I’m so trying this tonight!
I love this! I can’t wait to try it out.
This works BEAUTIFULLY! I said I was going to wait til my girls went to bed for the night, but one is napping and the other is content, so I went ahead and tried it. Thrilled with the results!!! Love love love it! thank you!!
I got my Cricut
today and plan on trying this as soon as my girls are asleep tonight! Thanks for a great tutorial!
Good tip using the painters tape! I wasted a lot of material before trying this. Thanks for your help!
If i use blue tape on the paper that I got, then I don’t have to buy new cutting mats, correct?
I love that! I’m getting my Cricut
today and I can’t wait to try this! Thanks for sharing!
Great video. I plan to give it a try!
It workes! I am so happy. My first attempts to cut fabric with the Cricut
was a disaster. I used microsuede and Heat N’Bond. You can buy Heat N’Bond by the yard for next to nothing. It’s usually with the pellon. The backing kept tearing, so I peeled it off before I cut and that fixed everything. The painters tape really helped. I did speed: high, pressure: max and the blade turned to 6. Thanks Emilie!!
Thank You sooooooooo much for making this vidio i am making a pillow that has a word on it ang the fabric kept curling up and annoying me now i kno 2 use tape thnx
Hi, could anyone tell me what blades can I use to cut fabric better? I heard about some other blades compatible with the Cricut
but I forgot how are they called. The ones they sell are expensive and not so great in my opinion. Thanks a lot!
