I find weeding some of the fonts absolutely ridiculous, they lift up altogether and when you're trying to pull the vinyl you don't need a way it comes up with it it's just drives me crazy. Lol😜😜😜
Wow.. i wish i had seen this video last night. i just wasted so much vinyl because it got wacked during the weeding process and i ended up redoing the whole thing using a thicker font. THANK YOU FOR THIS TUTORIAL!!!
Hi Katie, I wanted to thank you for your video. I was growing very frustrated with a project with a lot of small words and after searching on RU-vid, I found your video and it was a game changer. I was able to finish the projects. Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for the tips! So glad to know I’m not the only one who has trouble with the dots! I haven’t tried reverse weeding before so I will try this next time! Thank you!
Thanks for sharing this technique! For my first project I used t-shirt vinyl and it was so easy to weed. I did not know what to expect with self-adhesive vinyl.
So, I get that whole reverse weeding process, but how do you keep those tiny dots from not comimg off your objects once you apply it, particularly with permanent vinyl?
Hi I am new to your channel. Thank you for sharing this awesome weeding technique. I really like your weeding tool. Where did you purchased it from? ❤️🤗
Im going to give this a try tomorrow! I had such a hard time tonight not with the weeding. But trying to transfer to vinyl go thr transfer tape. Hoping this way will help with that. Not sure tho
I not only wasted 4-5 hours but also wasted a lot of material trying to weed small letters and finally gave up to continue tomorrow. Thank you for your video, will try again tomorrow but can you please share the font name that you used for your project. Thank you.
What if the pieces that you’re losing are pieces you need? I’ve been trying to use a design and it has very small lines and what not that need to stay for the image but while it’s cutting, it unfortunately releases from the backing. Anyone have any tips?
If you’re using the washi sheet setting with more pressure and you’re still losing them then it’s likely your design is just too thin/small. I personally use Inkscape to thicken up my fonts a little to get around this issue
I have an explore air and I am having trouble even cutting the vinyl with small lettering and of course when I go and weed it pulls the letters off, are you using the blade that came with the machine or a fine point blade?
@@katieodonnell-vicente6632 so with cricut settings less means more? for example my cut pressure for vinyl is 171and for washi sheet its 169. i have an air 2.
It will depend on your material. When doing smaller/thinner designs, less pressure helps prevent tearing but not for all materials. For cardstock, there is an intricate cuts settings that is amazing! But I wouldn’t use washi sheet for cardstock.
@@katieodonnell-vicente6632 its for vinyl. my lettering seems to come up with all the excess vinyl that isnt part of my design. making it really hard to get anything done.ive allready wasted alot of vinyl because i cant seem to get it right.. ive even upped my pressure mfrom 171 to 177 and still
I searched for this video because I just had a heck of a time trying to weed a small skinny font. Yes, I ruined it. I will try again tomorrow and use a box around the script. I couldn’t help but feel like some of my vinyl letters were not really cut all the way through. Can this be a thing? I don’t think it’s the blade because the machine is new and I’ve only cut 3 or 4 designs. Maybe I just need more practice.
for some reason i am having a really hard time with the glitter viynl ...just with the smaller lettering...i have used every setting i have seen on these channels from the vinyl to the washi setting blade is new ive only had it for maybe a month or so everything else seems to come out i have wasted so much glitter viynl im about to scream any help on this....
Toni McDonald if it’s just regular Cricut glitter vinyl there is a custom glitter vinyl setting. If it’s iron on there is a custom glitter iron on setting. If it’s the new Cricut shimmer permanent glitter there is a custom setting for that too. Not sure which machine you have but if you search through try those, do small test cuts first.
Desiree Schweiger if they’re very tiny it can be hard to avoid losing them. Sometimes I cut the dots separately using the washi sheet setting and then place them after the fact, tends to save a lot of frustration!
This idea is good but 1 problem this idea not work on heat transfer machine coz tranfer tabe mailt nd garment destroy any idea how to retranfer on tranfer sheet nd apply heat machine
akash fitness when using heat transfer vinyl it will already be like this and you just remove the excess vinyl, that’s what the clear sheet is on your HTV/iron on
@@katieodonnell-vicente6632 i know but some time small letter same problem like this vinyl my vinyl cut small leter after cutting letter slipping. Any idea how to solve this issue
akash fitness I’ve never had an issue with small letters but you could try rubbing your scrapper carefully but firmly over the design after you cut to see if that will adhere it to the carrier sheet more
@@katieodonnell-vicente6632 yah i do every thing but unfortunately not work on my vinyl little bit old my vinyl so any issues on old vinyl or new vinyls
@@katieodonnell-vicente6632 i yesterday one customer order 2500 pieces of small letters vinyl for lycra but unfortunately my design text not stick in sheet nd letters slipping the exact positions so my order are cancels please help
Katie O'Donnell-Vicente I was having problem with the cutting I haven’t heard of the washi setting I may try it but I did use a thin cursive yesterday and it worked 🤣
Can’t really see what you are doing- camera too far and your hand is in the way and as a beginner I don’t really feel it has helped me understand this.
Myndi Orr I’m sorry you feel that way! Sometimes watching a video a few times makes it more helpful so i hope a few views will make it easier for you to understand!
P Washi sheets are a thinner material so using that setting on thicker materials with more pressure can usually create a better cut on some thicker vinyl.
I’ve never had an issue with fine details but if you are experiencing issues you can try holding pieces down with your scraper as you pull the excess material away
Your design space is already set. What's going on with the Right side of the design space? You already had all of that up when starting your video. It would have been nice for you to explain what your doing on the right side of the design space! Not helpful for me.
Will this work on inkjet printed images too cuz i wanna make a shirt with small lettering but was wondering how im gonna line them up perfect onto the shirt.
@@katieodonnell-vicente6632 thanks for the heads up. In my case what should i use then? I dont plan on ever using vinyl. Im Just printing mu designs onto 3g opaque dark garment transfer papers but this is one huge headache im stuck on is how to get letters and details to look the way i printed em so i csn just put em on a shirt
EatThe Dead usually when it’s just letters people use regular HTV, not printed. Without being able to see your design it’s hard for me to say but printable vinyl is meant just for very complex designs that you couldn’t layer but that are big enough to hand place
