I am new to this whole cricut maker thing and cutting with it. I bought a used cricut years ago when they first came out. I lost interest because I just couldn't afford all the cartridges so I was limited as to what I could do. I am so thankful I found your video. I am pretty good at computers but making svg's really was confusing for me. Give me a messed up photo and I can almost fix that with my eyes closed. LOL I have watched so many videos and even tried a few programs that convert files for you. Those did not work for me. Your video was so easy to follow and not rushed like many I have seen. I've subscribed now and will look forward to watching more of your lessons. Thank you so much! Come be my neighbor!!!LOL
This was perfect and explained the process incredibly well. After a bit of trial and error with the conturing feature, I picked it up quickly and WOW - GAME CHANGER.
Wow, you have quite a gift in instructing. I am very tech savvy but for some reason I've always been intimidated by certain functionality in Design Space but not anymore. You really make it simplistic and explain things very well. I found you on Skill Share and your lessons in AI are exactly what I needed. Thank you so much!
Amazing. Thank you. You have made a seemingly complex process understandable. I’m a Cricut newbie but very ‘techie’ and computer literate but for the life of me couldn’t understand most of the crafty type videos out there. A breath of fresh air!
Glad I found your video. Thank you for making this complex idea super easy to understand/follow. I'm feeling confident enough to try this on a PNG image I recently saved for Cricut project!
You're welcome! My channel has lots of tutorials geared towards beginners. Let me know what you want to learn, and I might be able to create a tutorial for it!
I just started working on svg's and iron ons and was so lucky to find your channel for my first project. I followed all the steps, so clearly explained but to my dismay once I uploaded my image to the canvas I noticed some unwanted little spots that would affect the clean cutting of the image. All of this said: can you tell me if it's possible to go back and remove those unwanted spots and correct the jagged lines? Thank you!
Yes you can! If your file has layers, you can open your Layers panel, select the pieces you don't want and hit Delete. If it's a welded design, you can try this method: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vEC26l5HWYY.html
Excellent and simple example. I would like to add one more step to this example if possible. For 3D printing, i would like to have each layer in the SVG file at a different height. Each layer would be 1 mm thick. This would allow me to print each layer with a different filament color. Typically I am looking for 2 - 4 colors or layer/filament changes. I would then convert the SVG file to an STL file, slice the file in PrusaSlicer and set the filament changes for each 1 mm. Is this possible? Thanks David
SVG is 2D, though. Doesn't your filament/layer material come at 1 mm thick already? If not, I would cut it all to that thickness first. Then you could use the SVG (STL) to cut through your 1 mm material.
Thank you so much for this my question is at that point once you’re done would you just save it as a PDF file and then pull it into whatever laser software that use personally I use lightburn
@@SVGCF you can do a print and instead of printing it if you have Adobe on your computer it should give you a print pdf option and what it will do is convert it to a pdf and not actually print it. I have the whole Adobe suite in my computer but I think you just need reader.
I finally was able to get this to work on Mac, but when exporting to PDF, you will lose your cut lines (it is converted to a raster format). So you would need to create cut lines again inside Lightburn.
@@SVGCF I’m fine with have ti have it retraced in lightburn I just love the fact of how you can separate the file into layers like that. I usually do it in photoshop Duplicating the file for each layer and then using the paint with a combination of the magic erase tool which can take some time to do. The way you showed would be much quicker. Lol
Usually I keep the square so it's very easy to line up after cutting. But if you want to delete it, you can unweld - here's a video that shows that process: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vEC26l5HWYY.html
It sounds like you may not have the design selected, or you're on the grouped layer. You'll want to choose a single layer on the right to get the contour button to be clickable.
