I have the deep housing blade. I have tried cutting it at different speeds, different pressures, and blade depths and I cannot get a clean cut. I have changed blades, mats, and used various types of chipboard. Why wont it work? I am not lone my friend is having the same issues!
Great video! You’re so cute and have so much enthusiasm. I guess we all get excited about our crafting & Cricuts, ,lol. Question please…is there a way to cut a custom sized square? I like to layer when I make cards and I only see the way I can get the width on the Cricut, but not make the length custom. I continue to have to cut these with my paper cutter. Aaaargh, there has to be an easier way. Thanks in advance.
OMG! Thank you thank you! Oh, #7 is it! That is why my cuts have been not complete! I am soooooooo happy! Oh and your music is the same we use at our church! How cool is that?!
great video….great tips very useful for us newbies
My Expression was cutting funny and I couldn’t figure out why until I saw your tip #7. I also don’t know why the number and the arrow need to be facing you, but you are absolutely right… if they are not facing you, you will not get good cuts! Thanks so much.
Love, love, love these tips! I’ve sent them to several of my friends! Thanks a bunch!
Love the tips, but I had trouble downloading the cutting chart from your blog.

Great tips! Now I need to go print that chart.
Thank you for all the great tips. I’m going to go turn my blade housing right now!!!

Joy great tips, especially love the one about the blade, now that I tired it, it’s true, much better when it’s facing you!!!!
Thanks for sharing, those were great tips. I figured out the thin paper one the the hard way.
Thanks for all the wonderful tips.
I do have that cutting gudie inside the lid of my cricut too thanks to your blog.
Have a great new year.
Some great tips! I love my Xyron X and I keep those refills in stock in my house! Have a drawer of about 4 at all times!
This will really help out…..thank you so much for all the great tips.
THanks for the great tips
Thanks for the tips.
Thanks so much Joy!!!

Thanks for sharing, I did not know #7, maybe that is why I have trouble cuts sometimes. Have a wonderful New Year.
can u make your own designs?? example: if draw a picture can that be cut on the cricut??
Where do you get the roll of Transfer Tape?
OMG EVRY1!!! I Just found the COOLEST ZEBRA VINYL for cricut cutters. Just go to ebay and search cricut zebra vinyl. u gotta check it out its awesome. I cant find nething like it newhere.
will this be in arlington this year???? please tell me yes:)
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!!!
i was there it was amzing
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!
I so agree wit you Jazznjava!
A lot of us are looking for simplicity first… just getting started!
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!
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.
Very nice!!!! thanks for sharing!!!
Thanks for the great video!
When can I purchase transfer tape on a big role like the one you used?
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.
