I just saw a couple of videos where they used transfer tape on fuzzy side and place that side on mat. Then they duplicated each cut piece stacking right on top. So cutter made 2-4 passes especially on thicker leather. It made the cuts much cleaner and sharper. ☺️ But I really love your vids. Thank you for the help.
Use the Purple super strong mat and bray your leather to the mat really well. It makes the mat a mess at the end but big deal, the leather does not move on the mat!!!!!! Works great for me. The braying is the most important part so it doesn't shift around during cutting!! Happy Crafting
@@AppalachianHomeCo I understand....if I have too much coffee, forget it!!🤣🤣🤣🤦🏻♀️😉 However, a great hack for that is to use a wooden or straight edge ruler to guide one side! 🤍🙏🏼
Hi, I just found your channel and it has been so helpful. Did you make a video of sewing the wallet? I am trying to make a wallet, but I am having a hard time with my sewing machine settings when I get to three layers of leather. I was curious what settings you used. Thanks!
Hi! Thank you I'm so glad you enjoy my channel! I believe I used the 90/14 needle but my leather was really soft and pliable so you might need larger for tougher materials. I used a regular stitch but increased the length to about a 4. And sewed pretty slowly. Hope that helps!
Thank you!! I didn’t use any closure, for this pattern the wallet stayed closed well. I really want to make a ladies wallet with hand stitching and maybe a rivet button clasp but I haven’t used the magnets before either.🤔
Thank you for this video! My friend asked if I could make this mask that is the Brown Eagle from LOTR I think. I found a pattern on Etsy but it includes tiny holes around the eyes to weave a visible string. I had my Cricut for over a year but have not tried the knife blade I bought yet nor leather. If you see this, do you think the little holes are possible or would they be problematic (for instance pulling the leather perhaps)? Thanks for any tips if you have any!
Hi! It depends on how tiny the holes are, ...I bought a punch for doing tiny holes on leather so I usually don't try to cut them out with cricut. I think I got the punch from amazon.
I'm trying to cut genuine leather with the knife blade and my maker 3 will not detect the blade. I went through the Cricut troubleshooting and it's still not detecting it. Anyone have a solution?
