Cricut Expression 2 tutorial 

Hi Melody, I bought this Cricut at a yard sale and wasn't sit was going to work and you gave great directions and it does! Thank you! Gina

Thank you for taking the time to go through those icons. I have had my E2AE in a box for a loooong time after my first attempt to get through it on my own.

This is JUST what I have been looking for to show me how to work my Cricut. THANK YOU!!!. I think I have been cutting vinyl wrong so I will change the setting to "kiss cut" and see if that helps... I learned so much from this video...

Thank you for taking your time to do this great tuturiol..I upgraded from E1 to E2 and this help me a lot!

thank you so much. This really helps as I just bought one and I was so regretting my purchase of the expression 2. Looking forward to watching all your videos.

thank you for the great tutorial. I didn't even know about the arrows taking me to new functions. You did a good job.

I just got an expression. Will be binge watching your channel

Thank you so much for this tutorial. This machine seems to be completely different from the Expression (1). Maybe even easier once you get the hang of it . . . gee I hope that's true! You have a real knack for teaching this way .I don't do change well, which makes your tutorial so necessary (and appreciated) to learners like me.

Hi, Melody Lane. Frisco Lane here! I am torn between buying the Pazzles, as i like the computer connection idea. Does it really do any more than this? Will Cricut hook up to a PC? Sorry if I missed it in the vid. The Real Frisco (my mutt) kept bugging me the first time I watched.

Hi Melody I know this video is older but was helpful and I just upgraded my expression to an e2 n was wondering if you knew if there is or ever will be an update that we can just move our images around to place them like we do on our gypsy instaed of all this space and line return key buisness?? lol

Hi! I’m a brand new ! I have been given an Expression 2 ! I’m super excited to get started! I watched your video and do understand a lot more ! Thank you! I want to make my first project as a monogram but I’ve been frustrated by trying to understand how to weld letters! I saw where you said you didn’t think it would do it. Did you ever figure out if it could be done? If not, do I need to just put them as close together as possible? Or should I invest in gypsy ? Design space won’t work because of no way to connect it to internet! Also, how big should I make a monogram to fit on a t shirt ( to fit on where monogram would usually be applied) I would like to use fabric so I’m not sure if I need to buy a special backing ? I will also be trying iron on vinyl as well! Thank you so much for any help!

Great! I'm registering my machine and will download cricut craft room software as well. I would really love to see your tutorials on making phone charger wraps. Please and Thank you! You are wonderful! Have a wonderful weekend! Many thanks once again! Sooo appreciative !! You are amazing and awesome!

I just got the cricut expressions two. And I was just wondering if I can use the silicone keypads from the cartridges with it. I couldn't figure out where it goes if I can. Thanks!!!

Found an Expressions 2 at a garage sale. Had no books with it,so am trying to figure it out. I have a Christmas cartridge and found it requires an Universal layout pad. How do I use it when my machine does not require pads? I was told I could still cut all the items in the cartridge,but how do I use that Universal one so that I can get the finished details on my projects?

I totally appreciate you're tutorial on this. I had not used my E2 in like forever and it's nice to have your reference handy. Thank you for sharing.

Thank you ! You have explained a few things that I didn't know !

Hi Melody. I'm trying to decide what machine I need for my purposes. I am not a scrap booker (at this time!). I'm looking for a machine to cut vinyl saying and quotes for craft purposes. I want different fonts and sizes. Also, is it possible to create your own text with either expressions machine...or by adding a gypsy? Also, for glass block or tile vinyl, do you need the vinyl that can be repositioned or not? Thank so much!

Hi.. can you use this E2 from a cell phone with just Wifi? I have currently a joy.. lol

I lost mine too. Now I just buy these for my cricut and my daughter's ds. If you look up ds stylus on amazon, it'll take you straight to the really cheap 4 pack styluses. They work really well!

Great tutorial ! Very helpful! I am needing help with my Circuit Expressions 2 machine. I am a beginner and just learning how to use the machine. I am wanting help with detail information on how to make a phone charger wrap-- they need to be 1 inch x 4 inches in size. I will have a design on each side and then a monogram ( single or 3 letter monogram in the middle). Not sure how I locate a 3 letter monogram as well? Not sure if I can make it or need to buy another cartridge for 3 letter monogram fonts. REally enjoyed your tutorial. Many thx in advance. Awesome job! THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

Hi, thanks for the quick response. It very much answers my question. I like the PC option, but the stand alone feature for the cheaper price has just about sold me.

Help! I just purchased an Expression 2, this is the first cricut I've ever operated. Does it work with the Design Space website and the Craft Room website? What's the difference between them?

Thanks!!!! I have been very frustrated with my machine. I just could not figure it all out!!!! Thank you!!

What usb cord do I need for my cricut expression 2

Great video! Can you tell me if when you cut scallop shapes if it cuts good? mine looks a little lop sided. Maybe I am doing something wrong.

Hi melody. I know this is an older video. I have an opportunity to buy a cricut expressions 2 second hand. Do you know if the software will still be loaded if I have to re register. Sometimes you never know with second items.Thank you for any tips and suggestions

Hi I have this machine can you hook this machine up to the circut design room? If so can you show how?

i am trying to cut cardstock and the machine ruins my project what blade setting can I use to avoid it?

I just got the machine and don't know how to advance the items I want to cut on the next line once they are done from the first. For example, I wanted some more images but finish the first line. How do I cut the next items ? I have the first Cricut and know how to move the location of the blade to cut numerous images to fill out the 12 x 12.

Please help!.. My Expression 2 is brand new been bought a while though!.. It does not change from the first screen even with a 'soft start' !.. Have U heard of this problem from anyone else?.

Thanks for your reply!.. I've never heard of ''firmware' .. Where can I buy that, I'm willing to try anything at this point!.. The people at Cricut did say there's nothing they can do, I can't give up because I have a lot of cartridges I bought to use with it plus it had cost me over $300. CAD 😩

Does this work with the new circut app? I am so confused on how to use where do I put paper and do I put it in machine with mat ? I Am a newbie Thank you

I can't seem to press the buttons the way you do,. I just opened my cricutexpression2. I have my pointer but that doesn't seem to work as easy as your finger...What's the button pressing secret. With the alphabet i think i'm hitting the correct letter but the next one shows up. I appreciate the arrow line up on the cutter. I never would have figured that out without wasting lots of paper.

Do you know if the Cricut Expression 2, will let an artist load their own art onto maybe one of their blank cartage?

please explain how to use one of your other cartridges?

I just bought one of these second hand and am wondering is it too outdated? I don’t see anything sold for it :(

What do you do when it shows hold zoom button tap icon to see icon label?It won't do anything.

How do you resize the letters when you print?

I would like to know how do you move your images around on the mat to fit paper space?

I am trying to cut a heart out of the center of an 8.5 x 11 paper that I have printed on already. I can't get the heart I have chosen to center in the middle of the paper. The space bar doesn't move the heart over at all until I add it about 4 times, then it is too far over! Help!

I am trying to write a word and make it where I don't have to put each letter on my vehicle window one at a time. I can't figure out how to make the word one line down the 24inch length of paper it keeps putting letters all over the place how can I make it in a row and rotate the letters. I have the letters rotated but I can't get them to line up

trying to figure out how to read the tiny cartridge books. They say go to cricut but I couldn't figure out the be prepared

How do i get my cricut expression 2 to work with the new design space online? Also how do i get the wifi adapter to work online?

Hi! I know this is an old video. But you seem knowledgeable about cricuts. I have an opportunity to buy a cricut mini second hand. Do you know if I can upload my own images with that one? I'm wanting to make a birthday shirt for my daughter as well finally start scrapbooking. Thank you for any advice or help.

Where is the mirror image on here for letters

howdy new to this e2 or any other circuit, i just want to learn how to make stencils so i can make t shirts. i am just trying to use text and move it around, you make it look easy. but not so easy for me.

I wish i could find something that shows you what each one can be used for? I mean other than cutting shapes for a scrapebook what can you make?

Is it possible to load my cartridges using my Gypsy directly to the Expression 2?

can you cut fabric ?

I need to know how to "load last" as I already made cuts on paper and want to reload and have machine begin cutting at the end of last cut

I was disappointed that the presenter wasn't as familiar with the product as I had hoped. I purchased the expression 2 and have use the cricket room but am having trouble with using cartridges I have. It was easier with the cricket expression and the overlays.

I thought cricut filed a lawsuit that bans you from using anything BUT the cartridges. I need to research this.

Como cortar tecido?

Across not acrossed. Thanks for the tutorial!

I use a pen because I can't get it to work right. Lol My finger just wasn't doing it.

I wish I new how too use mine

If you are going to do a how to tutorial, Please, know your machine so you can help others. Your explanation is very unsure. Sorry!

Listen to that entire vid. Wow!!!! Ah ha ha ha ha!!!!!

Was pure torture watching this. Also, next time, may want to have someone else operate the machine with shorter nails so that you speed it up. Was annoying having to watch you attempt the buttons over and over due to your large nails.

forget my last comment. I see you sent another email.

I was seriously considering buying a Cricut. After watching your video, I am completely put off. It just looks so flipping fiddly and didn't exactly explain anything at all. The questions I want to know are: Does it connect wirelessly to my PC, Can you still cut using normal dies with it, Do you get everything in the box to get you up and running, or do you need to buy other stuff as well (I've seen tools, pens etc) This is a big outlay for home crafters, so we need to know it will do what we want, if we've had to save up for it, and not be disappointed because we want to illustrate something we're going to cut, but dont' have any pens supplied. How do you upload your own designs to it? So many questions. Sorry, but you didn't seem to know how to do much at all, the video goes on for ages without actually telling us much.

Watch the first part of your tutorial. 12"X24" . You say " You just load it how you want to set it up." Something... Yep, 24", gonna fit right in that 12" slot. Think Melody. I'm not happy since the owl thing. "Um... they were on the table." REALLY!!! COULDN'T GIVE ME THE NAME? U R TUNED OUT!!!

Never mind, I'm an idiot. :D

Not very nice.

Before getting the E2, I had the original Cricut. I never updated it. Didn't realize I could or should. How do you update? I do have the wi-fi too.
