Tip for you. Weed right to left when doing words because most open letters like e and c open on the right side. This way the inside of the letter comes out easier.

Thank you! Used your exacto-knife trick to make this weeding easier this evening. Will add cut lines in the DS next time. Hadn’t thought of that so thanks for the spark! Jeremy Studio 34 Design

Would love to know where you bought your weeding pick tool? Sorry I know your video is very a year old but I just started following you and saw the weeding tool. Thank you

How do you get the square/rectangle around the sign? Newbie here!

@lauramartin7300 3 года назад

Thank you for video. I LOVE WEEDING.love your tip for the letter " i ". The dot was being a pain for me, now I see how you got it down. TY. And using you scrapper to hold the group down at one time is helpful too. Do you ever burnish your cut down before weeding? I have and it helps with things lifting... except the i. Lol not always. Good luck with your venture, you did great with video. Thanks again.

My vinyl will flake off and roll in on itself while it’s cutting small details 😢any idea how to prevent this?

@LisaSaliture Год назад

I'm new to making cricut vinyl labels and I'm wondering where you bought your weeding tool from? I'm also wondering how your Letters are already outlined in rectangles in this particular video? Did you score them with the cricket 1st? I'm working on vinyl labels for my candle vessels and a Font I'm using is very delicate and having a few problems with the font sticking to the backing. Seems like the blade is doing a good job at cutting on a vinyl but it's me weeding at that seems to be pulling all the fonts off. Thank you for this video. Its very helpful!!

@athomepixels Год назад

Thank you!! It was actually from a tool kit I got years ago from Costco! I haven't looked around to see if there's anything similar. I don't use a cricut. I use larger cutters and the software that comes with them which add the weeding lines around the graphic. Even if the blade is cutting the vinyl ok but you're having issues with weeding, it is still a blade and/or pressure issue. Make the sure the blade is at the right depth and that its a sharp blade. Mess around with your settings and do lots of small test cuts to get it just right - it's worth that time tweaking it perfectly because it makes the weeding process SO much easier and faster!

@arlenecastillo9234 3 года назад

What brand of permanent Vinyl do you use?

@wedadams803 3 года назад

I’m curious as well, when I pull mine they won’t stick

@mitchym1944 3 года назад

I noticed in your video what in the corner a magnifying light .. can you tell me where to find this or one similar for weeding?

@Stevebwj 9 месяцев назад

You are actually weeding wrong. Always weed in to the character. i.e weed text from right to left and numbers from left to right…try it. Put weed boarders around text and numbers separately. Been weeding since 1996 ❤

how do u edit a desing with a lot of shading

@clarissaccfitzpatrick4944 3 года назад

how did you get a box around each decal? I noticed how you could start in the corner of each one and it would not mess with the rest of the decals. I am kinda new to this.

@athomepixels 3 года назад

My cutting software has an option to put a weed box around the design. Any cutting software should have that option. You could also do this in your design program by putting a stroke line around the design.

@noelleouellette6558 3 года назад

Hi! I found this video so helpful. I am wondering how you in design space you add the boarder to cut out the square that helps you with your weeding??

@athomepixels 3 года назад

My cutting program adds that for me as a weeding line. You could also make it on a design program yourself as a stroke line

@cr9389 2 года назад

I was wondering that too!

@Flutesy 3 года назад

Hi how can I make my own phrases on vinyl before weeding? Do ppl use stencils over the vinyl to cut? Thank you!

@athomepixels 3 года назад

You can use a vector program, the cutting software, or purchase designs and cut them with a vinyl cutter.

@nulle1968 3 года назад

Why don´t you do reverse weeding? It´s so much easier and the i dots will stay.

@athomepixels 3 года назад

For individual personal projects, reverse weeding could be better and faster. However I make decals for sale for others to us. so to not have the backing paper and needing to reapply it doesn’t make much sense. As long as you have correct cutter settings, small decals can be weed just as quick as reverse weeding in my opinion :)

@nulle1968 3 года назад

@@athomepixels Thanks for the answer. For me it´s just a hobby, so I don´t do many of the same motives at one time.

@minecraftgamers2767 3 года назад

Hi, I use the Neenah Jet Opaque 2 HTV paper and with the settings I have it doesnt weed well and takes lot of work, I use blade level 3, force 8 and speed 3 how can I make this process easier?

@minecraftgamers2767 3 года назад

Should I put the blade level up or the force?

@athomepixels 3 года назад

is it not cutting through the htv very well? if that's the case, you'll need to mess with the blade level and/or force.

@minecraftgamers2767 3 года назад

@@athomepixels I figured it out, the blade wasnt locked in

@crispykartel 3 года назад

Im trying to print reallllly small like 8pt font using font athelas to press on a "neck label" so its about 1.5 inche tall and 3 inches width, do you suggest this? I think its definitely way smaller then the font youre using. Help?

@athomepixels 3 года назад

Yeah it’s doable! As long as your cut settings and blade are good, you shouldn’t have a problem!
