Your video saved my cricuit. Seriously, my hubby got it for me and I wasn't sure I could do it. I'm legally blind and thought I'd NEVER figure this vinyl thing out. I was ready to give up and then I watched this video. THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!!!!!

@BeesKneesSVG 2 года назад

This is the best comment ever! You are amazing. I love that you tackled the Cricut and won. Kudos to your husband for knowing that you got this. ❤️ You are going to create so many wonderful things.

Omg 😊 I just tried the bandaid rip tip on a very small flower I was having trouble with, I ripped the vinyl and it came off perfect, can't believe it, thank you for the tip

@BeesKneesSVG 2 года назад

I am so glad it worked for you. It can be so scary to do sometimes because it seems so opposite of what I usually do when weeding which is go slow and be careful. Thanks for letting me know!

Baby powder hack was awesome! Thank you.

@BeesKneesSVG 2 года назад

I’m so glad you liked it. I use it all the time!

I've been working with vinyl for years, but I was stuck in my old ways. These tips are terrific, especially the one about drawing a box around my designs. It's exactly what I've been looking for, and it's especially helpful when I have multiple designs on one sheet. Weeding is now much easier! Thank you for these great tips!

@BeesKneesSVG Год назад

Yay! I’m so excited to hear these tips helped you. Thank you so much for your kind words. It makes me so happy to hear this 😄

I'm so happy to hear that. Don't give up! There are always easier ways to do things. You just need to find them. :)

@bananariverrods1046 Год назад

Finally, someone with a worthwhile Crikut video! Thank you for all these ideas, especially the "reverse" weeding.

@BeesKneesSVG Год назад

So nice of you to say. Reverse weeding is a lifesaver. Now knowing it, there is nothing you cannot weed.

@Disembodied_Toast 2 года назад

you explain things very well! snap weeding is so nerve-wracking unless you have a back up pieces in case it backfires.

@BeesKneesSVG 2 года назад

Thanks so much! I definitely agree. If that’s my last piece of vinyl and it’s a new design that I haven’t tested - I’ll do reverse weeding instead.

@mariaheffernan7205 Год назад

Thank you so much for the Reverse Weeding, I have had so much trouble with my transfer tape and I was getting really frustrated but that makes so much sense to do it that way because all of the letter is stuck to the transfer tape instead of there potentially being a slight rise around each letter. Fantastic. Thanks again for that. Also Great Idea with the baby powder. I use lots of the Vinyl Metallic Rose Gold and sometimes it is hard to weed because of the reflection.

@BeesKneesSVG Год назад

I hear you! It's so hard to see those lines on the metallics, but they are so beautiful when they are done. Baby powder definitely helps and reverse weeding has saved so many of my projects. Before I learned about it, I could never do small script vinyl. Now it's no problem. So glad you found these tips helpful too. Thanks for watching!

@bcannon1792 Год назад

Great tip. If your design has different colors, I’ve had to piece all the different colors with the box which was challenging.

@BeesKneesSVG Год назад

Thanks! That sounds like quite a challenging project. I bet it turned out great.

Thanks for your tips. I was wondering about the ring weeding receiver tool. I just ordered one via your link.

@BeesKneesSVG 2 года назад

Wonderful! Thanks. I hope you like the ring weeding tool! I love it. It's perfect for a large project with a lot of little intricate weeding. I also use the suction cup one a lot if I'm doing a project with larger pieces of weeded vinyl. They are both so useful. Otherwise I end up with vinyl stuck all over the place. Lol!

@savannahbrown5396 Год назад

I almost wanna give up worried I won’t figure nothing out :/ I’m so stressed and overwhelmed I’m taking a break today and the next couple days from it. I use sign master and a vevor cutter. Which I don’t understand how to use. Do you think these tips on what I use compared to you would still work?

@BeesKneesSVG Год назад

Hi! I had to Google a vevor cutter. Looks so cool. I use a Cricut, but when I started I was so overwhelmed. Nothing made sense, it wasn’t intuitive to me. I was even in tears at one point. But I eventually got it. I just started really small, do a simple project. Get those small wins and it will build. I know you can do it. But yes (not knowing sign master) I think most if not all of these tips can apply.

@mlistander Год назад

I can’t get either one to work for me 😢. What setting do you use for material?

@BeesKneesSVG Год назад

Which ones are you trying to do and what material are you working with? For reverse weeding with regular permanent vinyl, I always use washi sheet setting with more pressure. This helps cut the intricate pieces.

@sonyasonya9047 2 года назад

I'm intrigued with the snap weeding; I've never seen this method before. Very often, after I've cut my vinyl, the tiny pieces of the design have moved out of their place a bit (for example, the dots on "i"s are not perfectly centered in the holes in the vinyl), so I don't think this would work then. Lately, I've been cutting my vinyl on the Washi Sheet setting, to try to combat elements moving, and it has helped somewhat, but not completely. Does anyone have any intel for me on why my tiny elements don't stay put when they're being cut? FYI - I'm using a Cricut Explore Air 2.

@BeesKneesSVG 2 года назад

The dots on the i's are such a pain. You are absolutely correct - I've found the best setting is Washi Sheet for those small cuts. On my Explore Air 2 I have to change the pressure to more on the Washi sheet setting. If I don't, it doesn't cut all the way through sometimes. Then I reverse weed. Even if the dot on the i moves a little (which mine doesn't seem to on Washi Sheet more pressure), but even if they do, reverse weeding always saves the day. It takes me a little longer to reverse weed, but saves time in the end because I'm not struggling with finding my missing dots.

@sonyasonya9047 2 года назад

@@BeesKneesSVG Thank you for your input. I did actually successfully reverse weed a bunch of TINY text yesterday - you're right, it was arduous, but not nearly as bad as "regular" weeding. I need to remember reverse weeding more often. I might need to make a reverse weeding reminder sign for my craft zone 😋.

@mlistander Год назад

What vinyl are you using?

@sonyasonya9047 Год назад

@@mlistander Whatever I can get my hands on cheaply 🤣. Usually I get "scrap" vinyl from professional signmakers - so stuff like Scotchcal 220 by 3M, Avery . . . but also "vinyl" from dollar stores, as well as house brand vinyl from Expressions Vinyl online. It doesn't seem to matter what I use, I continually have this problem.

@mlistander Год назад

I just tried the snap method. Not one thing stuck. 😭

@vlg8482 2 года назад

Great video I’ve subbed thank you. I’m having problems with my projects not completely cutting through the vinyl any idea why and do you have a video on this . Thank you 😊

@BeesKneesSVG 2 года назад

Hi! Thanks for subscribing! First, I would check your blade. Make sure there is no debris on it. I clean my blade often by pressing it into a waded up ball of aluminum foil. Next check and see what you have your material set to. There are so many different settings for vinyl (custom setting on the dial for Cricut Explore Air). Either choose the exact vinyl you are using, glitter, metallic, etc. or try one a bit harder to cut than yours so it uses more pressure. I usually change the pressure setting to more as well since I have an older blade. Hope this helps!

@vlg8482 2 года назад

@@BeesKneesSVG thank you so much for replying. I’m using Cricut vinyl so I had been using the setting it says. I will check the blade and try your tips thank you 😊

@BeesKneesSVG 2 года назад

I’ve never had much luck with Cricut vinyl. That might be the issue too. Ironic - I know. 😆 If it’s adhesive vinyl I like Oracle 651 and if it’s HTV I like Siser - both solid brands - easy to cut and easy to weed. Also if you are looking for something unique, Teckwrap has some really fun vinyls - color change, rainbow etc.

@vlg8482 2 года назад

@@BeesKneesSVG maybe that is my issue thank you I will buy some and a new blade to try and solve the issue . Thank you for your help x

@kellyphillips8913 Год назад

Does the baby powder impact the adhesive?

@BeesKneesSVG Год назад

Hi! It does not. Just make sure you gently wipe away the excess baby powder with a damp cloth (let it dry) before you apply the transfer tape to the top of the vinyl.

@magsbain8143 Год назад

What type of vinyl do you use plz

@BeesKneesSVG Год назад

In this video I was mainly using Oracle 651. Always a good choice. But I’ve recently discovered Teckwrap Vinyl and I’m in love! It’s so fun and easy to work with.
