@amyclouser392 3 года назад

Thank you so much for this, it worked out for my 1st time. ALSO, advise for any Air2 owners, NO NEED to buy fabric blade, it's the same as the fine point, it is just a backup for me now, GEEZ!! Again thank you for this tutorial, it answered all my questions!!

@MakersGonnaLearn 3 года назад

Great tip! Thank you for your kind words :)

@colleenmiller2746 Год назад

I heard that you should designate a separate blade (if using a fine point) just for fabric just like you designate different scissor? True?

@Soo0_Many_Vibrationz90 Год назад

Literally was just about to comment and ask her if I even needed to buy a fabric blade hahah since I already bought it to use for this method 🙃 thank you for your comment!

@laikagonzalez9879 3 года назад

I can’t thank you enough I bought the cricut maker and have been trying to understand how to make the face mask. I’ve been so frustrated I contacted them directly after twenty minutes on hold I was somehow disconnected. More frustration. However even though I wish your video had one opening line like click in home! That way you see all choices clicking on canvas does nothing! After more frustration finally realized my error was being on canvas versus home! I did it. After several attempts I think I’ve got it. I’ve made over 700 masks so far and donated every one. Now there will be more and I’m hoping no more shoulder pain from cutting! Thank you so much!

Hey Becca. Thank you for your video! I am new to this channel but we’ll come back for more. I am researching circut machines and I am planning to get a circut air. But a question that will help me make a decision is. : can I use the same method ( and blade) to cut felt.

Thank you so much for this tutorial. I have the air 2 and eventually want to get the maker but there are a few other things I want to get first. Seems to me if the the air 2 has a wool, they would just add cotton to. So going to book mark this.

Kindly check the details of what comes with the machine you are buying. www.amazon.com/dp/B01GSOMVRG?tag=onamzmakersgo-20&linkCode=ssc&creativeASIN=B01GSOMVRG&asc_item-id=amzn1.ideas.33NCUASGO0CPU&th=1

I want to create applique letters to embroider over. Can I use an iron on stabilizer?

@kiddor909gmail 3 года назад

I've never used a die cutting machine but now that I get pain in my hands from very little activity, the air 2 seems right for me. Do you have to buy a bunch of plates and attachments to use it? Or do you program the design into the machine on a screen thats part of it? Do u have to buy ink cartridges made just for this machine, for printing a design on paper ? Could you print a design on fabric or Aida. To be embroidered? Would it copy a design from paper onto fabric ? Does it emboss card stock ? Thx for the video, ill probably join you group. One last thing. What machines best for cutting 8x8 squares of multiple pieces of fabric at once ? I want to make quilts with big squares or circles, than iron on nicely cut fabric appliques. Or do sunbonnet sue, or a house with trees & hills on it. Thanks so much

@MakersGonnaLearn 3 года назад

You do not need a lot of materials to use it, no. The Machine is controlled by a device like a tablet, laptop, desktop, etc and there is where you can have and use your designs for the machine. The machine is a cutting machine, not a printer :) The Cricut Maker can emboss cardstock. If you want to cut fabric, the Cricut Maker is the machine for you :) Hope this helps!!

@maroonraccoon0 Год назад

is there a substitute for freezer paper from Cricut, very curious!

@tinaa186 3 года назад

Thanks for the trick! Do you think cutting fabric using my Air2 will dull the blades quicker? 🤔

@MakersGonnaLearn 3 года назад

It most likely will, yes :) I would have some extra blades on hand!

@sup83 3 года назад

Use a peice of foild...crumply into loose ball...poke needle in and out to re-sharpen needle.

@Sedavis1982 2 года назад

will it work on wax paper? is it the same thing?

@@MakersGonnaLearn Thank you!

@graceduncan1780 3 года назад

Elaine this is a great question and exactly what I was thinking when I watched this video. Can I cut it with just my find point blade or do I need a Bonded Fabric blade? Definitely going to be buying a replacement fine point blade to have just in case this dulls my current blade and makes it so that I can’t have crisp cut lines anymore but that is some thing I would’ve had to do anyways and I am super excited to try may be cutting out some little eyes out of thin black fabric for some of the little crochet dolls I want to make for my daughter and possibly sell 😊❤️

@brittanyheimer6131 3 года назад

If you were to try to put a rotary blade into an explorer air would it just not work or have an error message or would it mess up the machine do you know what would happen?

@MakersGonnaLearn 3 года назад

So unless you've seen a Cricut Maker it won't make much sense, but the Maker has a set of gears in clamp B, gears which intertwine with the gears on the rotary blade, the knife blade, etc. Without the gears working together the blade/tool will not do anything, it will simply not work. Good question though! No one's ever asked that before, it was fun to answer!! :)

@StarQuality28 3 года назад

Any specifics on what fabrics work for the air? I was thinking of purchasing the maker but if my explorer can cut the fabrics i work with then I can save me some money lol

@MakersGonnaLearn 3 года назад

Super thin cotton fabrics. Don't try to cut anything thick :) If you're wanting to cut anything thick, you will need the Maker! Also stick to large and simple designs :)

@sandradeleon4121 3 года назад

I am new to this and I don't have either of the supplies (mini iron and freezer paper) Is it safe to use regular iron and wax paper?

@MakersGonnaLearn 3 года назад

Regular iron is fine! But wax paper is not. You need freezer paper because it only has wax on 1 side, which is necessary for this :) Great question though!

@ummekulsumkutub4791 3 года назад

Use a lighter mat :) Make sure your blade is relatively new, and choose "more pressure" :) Good luck!

Love your name ;) But yes, I definitely have found that the EasyPress is much easier to use in my experience. The Cricut website has instruction on how long & how hot you need to use the press on your project. It also tells you if the vinyl needs to be pealed hot or cool. The timer feature is great, too. I will say that depending on the size you get, if you live in an older home, your lights may flicker 😅

I have been cooking all my life and am a pastry chef and I have never heard of freezer paper. What is it? Is it like wax paper? Or parchment paper?

@MakersGonnaLearn 3 года назад

Freezer paper is like a 1sided wax paper! You heat the shiny waxy side and the wax melts and binds to the material, then it peels right off with no residue. Freezer Paper: amzn.to/3eQtUCk

@ac2586 2 года назад

Right?? I was thinking the same. I cook all the time so when she said freezer paper, I had to rewind just to verify the box said "freezer paper"! Kinda funny how we've cooked/baked our whole lives but never heard of this. The old adage 'you learn something new every day' is so underrated. 😄

Hello, is it better to get the rotary blade for this. 😊

@MakersGonnaLearn 3 года назад

Well, yes. But the Cricut Explore Air 2 does not have the capability of working with the Rotary Blade, which is why we made this video for non-Cricut Maker owners :) However if you have the Maker, yes, use the rotary blade.
