I think in this particular instance, you were cutting a square so it was extremely easy to cut by hand. If you were cutting a pattern of a purse with different pockets and linings and an oddly shaped exterior cutting with the cricut would definitely be so much faster than cutting intricate pattern pieces by hand . I have the cricut maker 3. I just subscribed to your channel. Thank you for the video.
I am 68 1/2 years old and just bought a lil sewing machine. And I’ve been using my Cricuit for cutting materials & faux leather because I don’t cut accurately 😂. I enjoyed your tutorial comparison. I’ll be watching more of your tutorials❣️
When using a different pattern with curves and notches, I think the circuit might come out ahead. Having to cut out a pattern to trace or pin then cut with scissors or even some lines with a rotary cutter, I think the cricut will be faster. If you were making multiple bags and had a couple/few mats you’d be cruising right along. Fun to see how close in time this style pattern was. I just got a maker and am excited to use it soon. Some projects with deadlines have to come first.
I just got air2 for my birthday a couple months ago. I have arthritis. My daughter thought this would be cool for me. I purchased a Lynn’s handmade pattern a couple months before that I’ve been cutting by hand how do you upload a pattern into Design Space
I have a Cricut Explore Air 2 and i cut fabric on it only once. but this is a great idea to use it to cut fabric. i know i will have to use heat and bond to put on my fabric before cutting (i will also have to buy a new mat for fabric)
i just really use Cricut for sometimes designing my bags with glitter vinyl embellishments. But i would like to try it in cutting actual pieces for putting together a bag.
I’ve finally started using my Cricut Maker (which I bought used 3 or 4 years ago 😮). The second thing I cut was the Pocket Pal in garment weight leather! It was amazingly quick compared to trying to hand cut all the card slots. Which I would have never even tried.
Do I need Cricut Access to view this complete tutorial? Correction. Not to view the tutorial. Do I need it to follow the steps and to cut according to your directions?
I don’t think you need Cricut Design studio, all pieces could be cut by hand. If you have Trouble I’m happy to send you the pattern piece measurements by email
I am a new Cricut owner and I am chomping at the bit to cut out bags and embroidery appliqués. what I can't figure out is how and what I need to get to the Cricut. I'm pretty sure it involves an SVG file but I don't know how to start. if you want to change the size of a appliqué can you do it? I'm lost! I have an old Cricut that uses cartridges and I've had a lot of fun with it, but I wanted this new one primarily to cut fabric but I don't know how to start. Thank You!
I do have a video where I add SVG files into design space and get them ready to cut here ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zeGbdUnBdsI.htmlsi=jppJaPqtPZZCZ834 but I can do a more in depth one soon!
I have just started cutting vinyl with my Cricut Maker and am amazed at how easy it is to use. Finally got that AhHa moment with design space and it all clicked. I really enjoyed watching this video. I just found you today.
I have a SNC and have started cutting out bags with it that have svg files. It’s way more accurate than cutting for me. I’m going to start scanning the pieces to make svg’s. I’m having fun learning more about my machine and making bags.
The hand cut could have been done considerably faster if you had folded the fabric and cut both pieces at the same time for both the exterior and the lining.
I have a Cricut to use with my bag making but am still learning how to use it. I want to use it for more difficult cuts of pattern pieces and I have a permanent set up spot for the machine. Thanks for your video!
Well done! I would not have known it was your first video without you saying so. My only critique is the sound. I have to have my volume all the way up to be able to hear you. You did a great job of recovering after the zipper pulled out. I hope you continue making videos!
Thank you! Yes this was one of my first before I purchased a microphone..sorry about the sound! I’m working on a few video ideas so will hopefully bring lots more! Now to just get a few more watching! I’m planning for this to be my retirement side gig ☺️ still a few years to build up a library and viewership !
Have you tried to cut vinyl, canvas or leather? I have been thinking of trying to cut sewing pcs with it but wish the cricut was wider than 11.5 inches
Quick question. How do you get the shapes, including any markings, into the software? I would use my machine for cutting everything but very few designers include svg’s. I’ve found that the process of creating the svg’s on my own is extremely tedious and time consuming. And some I completely gave up trying to convert. It’s usually the ones with unusual shapes, which are the ones I need the machine for the most.
I am considering buying a Cricut Maker or Brother Scan n Cut. I am a bag maker. I sew THICK materials like marine vinyl. Would like it to cut out patterns
