Things Cricut Beginners NEED To Avoid When Getting Started

This was such good advice, but I struggle with Design space.

Thank you for your honesty!! I'm looking to buy a cricut and this is so helpful

Lol... I've been wasting my vinyl trying to cut tiny letters

Someone gave me a circuit expressions 2, one of their very first machines. Will I be able to make anything in the circuit library if I join?

How do I join with the membership? Ty

got mine 3 days ago.. lol when he said a month or two? what??.. that's still a beginner? ahaha

Wow... nice studio.

thanks for sharing

I LOVE the "dont get the 'smart' stuff" i got a chuckle out of that. I do fear that with the maker 3 i wont be able to use anything but smart products or cricket brand so this helped ease thay worry.

Appreciate the honest advice. I just got a Maker 3 a week ago and wanted to use the font feature to make a word which was very small….well it was a failure. I haven’t even learn the features of machine or Design Space to be that aggressive. So this was an eye opener and it made sense. Thank you.

My very first project with vinyl was glitter vinyl and tiny letters to put names on ornaments. 🤣 I did pretty decently actually but was pretty surprised when I couldn't see the cut lines lol.

If I have the Explore 3 that is 13", how would I be able to use regular vinyl that is 12"? I am new to Cricut, but all videos I've seen don't seem to mention that that is possible.

Yes! Small letters suck, and also ,the script fonts are hard to do . I've gotten a little overambitious. That's what I did with the print then cut. Also, cheat! I had a hard time weeding even printable htv with thin script letters. So use an off-set the same color as your shirt. It still looks pretty good. Will definitely try the siser easy weed vinyl though.

You can also get a light pad that isn't "branded" for a lot cheaper than a bright pad

Where do I get free fonts?

Look, not the focus, but so adorable and that accent.

Hi could you tell me where you got the accessories holder on right of table , it looks like a joy

I hate the glitter! I’ve scrapped 2 projects and said no more 😂🤦‍♀️

black glitter sucks cause you cant see, took me 3 times.. lol. i got all my smart material on clearance...IM POOR. took me 3 yrs to save up o get the machine for heavens sake. pissed that after i find out i need to subscribe to even get to use it!

Over explaining

Thank you! I love the honest feedback. I will be sure to take my excitement level from a 10 to a 2 and get to know my Cricut better before deep diving into projects.

Just got my circuit yesterday and have not even taken it out of the box yet. Glad I watched this video FIRST!

I have a question! I have been trying to cut a logo out on HTV but it is not cutting through my color it is just cutting the clear stick part. What am I doing wrong?

My favourite was 'aspire to, and level up to' best encouragement 🙂

Wow all the mistakes I made just starting out a year ago, no wonder I didn’t bring it back for two years 😂

I use my ring light when I'm weeding.

the paper suggestion is great! thanks!

Could I cut out my own designs from my PC?

LOL! I have had my circuit for about 4 years and have used it 1x. I need help!

It’s a cutting machine not a game played over scones in white caps.
Kricut kri-cut
The end of the brand name is pronounced “cut”.

Consider my Roll Slowed 😁

Yesterday while using my Cricut the right roller bumper started to move to the left. This slowed the mat board and made my project slightly off center. Moving it back to its proper location was difficult but it will not stay where needs to be. Any suggestions?

As a beginner, you should try not to get that arm air caught in the vinyls….

I have a question how can you take a sewing pattern brought from a store and have your cricut explore air 2 cut the pattern out?

whoops.. my 1st cut was with glitter vinyl with a font with small details. I guess I work backwords.

Best educational video I’ve seen to date as a beginner, thank you.. New Sub x

I have to redo my seasonings because I used the Smart Vinyl and I don’t like the way it looks. I didn’t know there was a difference until I got frustrated and started watching videos.
I don’t have a Bright Pad but I do have something like it for $10 I got on Amazon. Trying to weed through the Glitter Vinyl was real hard to see. I love the Glitter Vinyl. I use the Hobby Lobby One. It doesn’t shed.

Wish I saw this when I got my Cricut! Did the small letters and wanted to throw the machine out!!

Swapping over from silhouette cameo over to cricut this year - thanks for the advice. Subscribed.

I just got my first Cricut yesterday and used it for the first time today and I don’t know how I went without it this whole time. It’s amazing and I am the type of person who isn’t good with electronics and can’t even set up my iPhone but I worked the Cricut perfect on the first time. I’m amazed.

Thank you!

I just got a Cricut today. Decided to try to learn more about it before I even download the app. Thanks for your video!!!!
I plan on watching more on your channel to get a head start and try to avoid some frustration. l

I just love how honest you are!! I’m a beginner and here on your channel to learn everything I can. I’m about to wake this Cricut air explorer 2 if I don’t learn how to use it. I know I can find all that on your channel. Thanks

Advice if your going to use the transfer tape try to get a lot of the sticky off by sticking it on a towel and ripping it off a few times

I like that you present professionally with detail yet to the point.

Help my vinyl keeps lifting after I apply it? What’s a good helpful tool with this?

Thank you so much for this vid. Really appreciate this. The way you talk and the informations are really helpfull.
