I want to cry from joy after watching this. I was up last night until 2 am redoing a small project with small text over and over again. Thank you sooo much, I am so grateful! 🙌🏽

@foxycreationskc3242 3 года назад

Wow thank you so much! I’ve literally been in tears trying to weed the teensiest letters ever! This just made my life so much easier!!

@chrissystempihar4417 Год назад

Thank you!!!! The Washi setting was a lifesaver! i changed my blade, moved the dial trying settings, wasted vinyl. Googled ideas, The washi setting was all I needed!!!

@cgarrett325 3 года назад

I've found it helpful when I'm reverse weeding, to use small pieces of strong grip transfer tape to tape down the corners of my project to my (self healing) cutting mat.

Thank you so much for this great tip! I had to weed these tiny smoke stack hearts and this tip made it so easy to weed. I didn't lose any of the hearts doing the reverse weeding technique. Thanks again!

I was about to give up and saw your video, and all of a sudden everything's fine, perfect weeding, love it. Thank you so much for the technique.

@lauramartin7300 3 года назад

I forgot about reverse weeding. Could of really used it for Christmas ornaments, but like you said, apply soon after you do it. Doing in regular way,I was able to weed several at one time, then I did apply back on backing to keep te sticky from getting anything on it.worked for me so far. Lol like the reverse for small letters ,which I indeed had. I would of stuck it back on cutting sheet to use as a third hand. I do all my wedding on the cutting mat,it holds it down for me to have more control. Love your videos, always learn something. Ty HAPPY New Year

@bernadettebertrand6474 3 года назад

Thank you SO much for this informative video! I am very new to vinyl crafts and have Oracle vinyl and Paper Studio and a couple of others. I was pulling my hair out with some tiny letters. I watched this video and ordered all the things recommended and while I couldn’t get a cut through any vinyl, even StarCraft, the vinyl setting worked beautifully on it. You’re the best! I appreciate you knowledge and talents. Thanks for sharing!

@dianagwaltney1683 Год назад

Thank you so much for showing this video because I was in tears eeeding my project. I wasted 5 or 6 pieces of vinyl because I pulled off some of the parts of the project itself. And vinyl is not cheap. So I was just actually throwing money in the trash! So thank you for this video. I have not tried it yet but I will definitely give it a shot!

@scripturetrinketsbyap 11 месяцев назад

Thank you! Thank you ! for this .. I do scripture trinkets, a lot of scriptures on keychains and the fonts are usually small and delicate, it has been a struggle. But since watching your video I did a slight redesign and tried cutting them using the washi sheet in default setting and trust me it has been much easier to weed. Granted I didnt use the reverse weeding but I feel so much better doing my trinkets 😍

@Vizzpat 7 месяцев назад

Great video tutorial! I’m new to Cricut and have had some weeding problems with small details. I’m going to give your method a try. I think it’s possible that some of the vinyl I received as part of my Cricut bundle may be a little “older” and may have started to fix itself more strongly to the backing it came on even before it was cut. Patience is the only thing that seems to work but maybe your technique will make things a little easier. 🫰🏻Thank you so much for sharing your expertise and insights!

@CorinneBlackstone 7 месяцев назад

Older vinyl will for sure do that. And honestly if it’s cricut brand you’ll come to learn that is not a quality material

@Vizzpat 7 месяцев назад

@@CorinneBlackstone Thanks. Nearly all of my vinyl supplies are Cricut brand - some coming with my machine as part of the bundle. It’s a learning experience but I’m a pretty quick learner. Thanks for your guidance as to better product choices. I’m seeing more and more endorsements for the Star Craft brand and after checking out the prices, I’m sure going to give them some business. I’m really glad I found your channel, Corinne. Happy Thanksgiving!

Hello, your tutorial is great , You know any tricks to cut and weed Cricut infusible ink transfer sheet , because I have noticed my Maker3 is like not cutting all the way through like it needs just a little bit more pressure, even though I used more pressure when cutting! I’ll be looking forward for any advices Thanks

@CorinneBlackstone 3 года назад

Hmmm to be honest I haven’t cut infusible ink in forever. You can look under custom materials and see what the pressure is set to then find something that’s a bit more and try using that

@vanita1838 3 года назад

When applying tiny letters to glass, what would I use to seal it?

@CorinneBlackstone 3 года назад

You don't seal permanent vinyl. it causes more issues than corrects. However if you must seal it Epoxy has been the best way to go. If you are doing tiny letters I would look into stenciling it and painting it on or having it done with waterslide

HI, yOU MAKE IT SEEM SO EASY! I HAVE HAD MY CRICUT EXPLORE AIR 2 FOR A MONTH AND I HAVE YET TO MASTER ANY OF THE PROJECTS. THE MOST EASIEST THING TO DO WAS THE SAMPLE PROJECT AND IT TOOK ME THREE DAYS TO FIGURE IT OUT! I HAVE TRIED THE WASHI SHEET AND IT DID NOT WORK, I ALSO TRIED USING THE WASHI TAPE AND THAT DID NOT WORK EITHER. I DONT KNOW IF IT IS THE VINYL OR IS IT ME. i AM USING THE CRICUT MOVABLE PREMIUM VINYL I DONT KNOW IF THAT MAKES A DIFFERENCE OR NOT. I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO CUT THE FONTS TWICE YET! BUT THANK YOU!

That’s pretty tiny. It may be ok but you won’t know until you try :) the vinyl can also effect how the small fonts cut so trying out different brands of vinyl is always a good idea too

@ladylizzy10 Год назад

Great video!! How do you suggest using smart vinyl?

@CorinneBlackstone Год назад

I don’t. It’s not a great quality product and it’s more hassle than it’s worth. If you absolutely must cut off mat buy the teckwrap version of smart vinyl it is far better quality than the cricut brand and easier to work with.

@chloenkitty 3 года назад

I make a lot of wood door hangers for people that want an SVG of their dog on it and when they are long hair especially the tiny little pieces are in sane. I am new to this and I find it especially difficult if the vinyl is white. So what method should I use if I am needing to weed an SVG of a dog that is very detailed? I never even heard of washi or reverse so what exactly do they mean?

@CorinneBlackstone 3 года назад

Reverse weeding is what I show in this video. Its when you place the transfer tape over the vinyl before you weed. it helps keep those really small pieces down since the transfer tape is sticky.

@CorinneBlackstone 2 года назад

Calibration is only for print then cut, the knife blade or the rotary blade so it won’t do anything for cutting vinyl or htv. I would try making sure your mat is laying completely flat and is good and sticky. You can put some books or a paper towel roll in front of the cricut under the mat to help it stay straight

@lindao7887 Год назад

I've been in tears over weeding and transferring tiny stuff for Christmas ornaments lately, can you tell me how the "washi" setting cuts different and benefits the weeding/transferring? 😒 No washi sheet setting on my "Joy" 😓 Just my laptop or just not meant to be?

@CorinneBlackstone Год назад

The washi setting uses different pressure to cut which helps not pick up the small details of the vinyl and get them lifted by the blade. The joy lacks in settings a little bit. I would recommend test cutting and creating your own setting to see what works best for your machine
