How to Cut Pattern Pieces with the Cricut Maker 

Thank you so much for this video! I've been pulling my hair out all day trying to figure this out and I was ready to just give up, so thank you, thank you - I really appreciate you sharing this information!

Exactly what I needed! Thanks!

Thank you, you did a wonderful job detailing the steps. For those who have a ScanNCut, it will scan the pattern and you will get actual size scan, set down fabric on the mat and it cuts the pattern piece just like that. FierceKittenz, thank you for all your incredible videos, always well done.

Hubby bought me a cricket two Machine last year,I just pulled it out of the box and have no clue how to work it. I’m dreading it lol, but I did promised him I would use it this year. Thank you for teaching us newbie’s.

Soooo...I love to sew lots of different things. My hubby really wanted to get me a cricut maker 3 for Christmas. I balked. I don't do paper crafts. What the heck am I going to do with this expensive thing when what I really want is another sewing machine? Well...I've always wanted to make these sweet little animal dolls with outfits for my niece. Your video showed me how to cut the dang little pieces on this fancy cutter. HOW COOL IS THAT? I am so grateful! You are funny and a great teacher. I push myself through some of the lousiest youtube vids to learn new things. Yours was actually fun to watch. THANK YOU!

OMG thank you so much! This is sooooo useful! I've been using my Cricut to cut applique shapes, which I LOVE but had no idea I could do something similar with PDF patterns. WOW!! So glad I found your channel!!

Thank you I am 52 and just starting my sewing journey. I wanted to say I am a Cricut gal. There is not a day I dont find some way to use my cricut. Cards (I hate my handwriting) decor, recipes, christmas tags with halographic sheets, notecards, pantry labels, gifts, paper ornaments, glass etching, wood burning, grave flags for pets, I even made a gift for a friend's children of coloring pages, now my new chicken coop. The sky is the limit now this. I'm loving it.

Great video! You can also group pieces by changing the color, so if you made the exterior fabrics blue and the interior green or whatever, cricut will keep them together on the cutting mat. However if you still don’t like the layout when the mat view comes up, you can manually rearrange & switch mats 😊

I love that you did this video!! I'm all set now!!

Awesome. Thanx for sharing your knowledge.

Thank you for doing this tutorial. You are a really good instructor. You point out the details.

THANK YOU!!! This will save so much time!!!!

Thank you! I'm about to go home & try this out on my new Cricut M3.

Again, thank you. I've been trying to figure this out for days. Your awesome.

Thanks for the video. It makes me want to put a cricut on my Christmas list for 2023 or sooner.

This video is exactly what needed to learn to cut vinyl.

That’s a great help, I’m hoping to start using my Cricut maker 3 for cutting pattern pieces because, like you, I HATE cutting and fusing interfacing. So, thank you

Thank you so much for your instructions! To save on fabric and avoid cutting the fabric to size an advance. You can cut a square bounding box around your pieces. This will allow you to place a 12 inch wide by unlimited inches long piece on your mat.

Thank you, you are awesome

Excellent video! Many thanks!!! You just sealed the deal for what my wife, a vinyl bag making addict, is getting for Christmas! Hopefully it gets more use than the projector setup for last year ( which at zero, won't be hard 😞 )

Thank you for the tip on using the Heavy Fabric like Denim setting for marine vinyl!! I wasted so much material using the wrong setting. I was ready to kick this Cricut to the curb. 😂 You and your videos are awesome!

Thank you so much. Every question I had was answered. Now I just have to do it. I had better make myself a cheat sheet.

Thank you so much!

Great video. I have all the tools but always reluctant to pull it out. It is awesome for wallets with card slots, though. One thing you didn’t mention is to look at pattern placement before grouping when using one directional fabric. The Cricut software likes to save space (sometimes) and moves individual cuts, so grouping together first is important.

Thank you for this video! It is very easy to follow along. This is a huge help! Please show us more tips and tricks for the Cricut Maker 3. Maybe share your settings for different materials? Getting the settings right is what really damages my calm.

Love your videos and no bullshhit attitude!

Thanks for this awesome tutorial, I'm always on the lookout for ways to justify the cost of my Maker 😉 I think pocket facings would be excellent candidates for the Cricut! Also, for future tuts, maybe making custom faux leather/cork bag labels? Thanks again, you rock! 🤘😁

Thanks !

To prevent making dents on your fabric during the Cricut cutting process, you can push the 4 white wheels on the Cricut machine over to the side. I also highly recommend Jennifer Maker’s videos on the Cricut machine. There is hardly anything she hasn’t done with it, and she’s a superb teacher. Good video, thanks.

Awesome!

Couple tips for cutting Marine Vinyl. Purple Strong grip mat with the front facing towards the mat. The pink fabric mat is great for cottons. I'm still trying to figure out what is best for WPC so it doesn't shift but taping that down is also a definite must too. Thanks for sharing such a great tips, learned a different way and I'm appreciative.

Great video I am going to try this as I also hate the cutting out part of making anything. That was the number one reason I bought my maker. Now of course I realize all the other awesome things it can do. Anyway you got any ideas on how to get the cut on fold pieces? Love your videos

I always measure my pieces. I have not had success with the square. Thanks for the production tip.

Awesome video! Now I’ll finally use my Cricut for fabric cutting. Where did you get your glasses frames from? They are so cute!

Have you tried the fabric marking tool in the Cricut? My next challenge is trying to get the markings on my pieces too! Also, did you know that you can change the screen print button to be the snip tool? Great time saver for me! Just hit the print screen and it brings up the cross hairs.

Fab...thats a quicker way to do it!! When i cut out anything with sizing square, I use the shape tool to make a bright coloured 1inch sq. I then place that beneath the sizing square and it makes it easier when dragging the shapes to correct size as you can see it. Phew..lots of squares n sizes going on there in my explanation😂😂😂

I wanna know how you’re so organized….my sewing/craft/office/art studio space looks like 4 toddlers had a sugar filled donut party up in huuuuur 😂

I Have a Cricut Air two that i use to design my tote bags. i want to know about do you have to use any heat n bond to adhere to the mat when cutting a piece on Cricut.

Thank you!! I questioned if I should, at some point, invest in a cutter. Wasn’t sure how much it would really speed up cutting. Now, I just have to decide on WHICH cutter. Why did YOU choose the cricket & model you did? If you have a recommendation for a comparison video, would love to know.

Hi, LOVE all your videos. For the life of me, I can't find any videos about cricut cutting vinyl that has been fused with decovil light (or heavy). Not sure if it's possible. I wouldn't mind cutting decovil separately... but would love to know the cricut maker 3 setting for it. IF you read this... and you have some insights, I would really appreciate it. Thank you!

I just got my cricut and this is so helpful, thanks. Low tech question: if the 1" box was already on the pattern page, why did you skip in the first snip, then add it back? Thanks

Did you calibrate the rotary blade for the Maker 3? And if so - can you show that?

I have an explorer 3 can i still do this? What cutters should i use? And should i use woven interfacing on my cotton fabric parts before cutting or will the fabric mat be enough? Sorry im new to the cricut but ive been sewing for a few years and i wanna speed up my process so i can sell some stuff. I'll also be making things that use marine vinyl as well

What kind of heat press did you get?

Everything I’ve read about cutting vinyl is you should place it face down on the mat. Which is best?

I just want to know how you fix your hair 😅🥰

L I K E 👍👍👍 👍👍😻😻😻😻😻💯💯💯💯

is t hat sewing themed washi tape???

I use my scan n cut. I make bags and doll clothes and it cuts all patterns and fabrics.. love my scan n cut i have a maker but to much thinking involved. Im 74 so don't waste my time overthinking.😅😅😅😅

You can get washi tape for $1 at Walmart

How about Mac users. You focus on PC users.
