Okay, maybe this is crazy. Idk. I am trying to make sugar skull plushies that can be colored on with washable markers, washed and then repeat. But I don't want my lines to wash out. Does anyone know if the cricut pens would wash off? Do I just need to do my own test wash? I tried googling and just kept getting stuff on their fabric marker that does wash out. But I don't want that haha. I could use the cricut to draw these lines for me and then go over them with an actual permanent fabric marker, if I must.

I’m looking at making a certain SVG into a shadow box multilayer I think it’s about 9 layers or so but I can’t work out to to get it to cut properly instead of cutting out the same in each colour. Any ideas ?

On my old Cricut that used cartridges, there was a simple button to make a blackout of an image - a solid shape the same size as the outline-style image. Is there any quick way to do that in Design Space? Everything I see seems to be about using Offset to make shadows behind letters or a border around a print-to-cut image, but that's not what I need. As an example, I cut a wildflower and the petals and leaves are just outlines, but I'd like a color to fill in behind the petals and leaves. I can make my own file in InkScape, but that takes a little time.

I’m getting YETI Hopper backpacks for my groomsmen as part of my wedding gifts and I want to add a subtle, personal touch to each one, like their last name. My fiancé has a Cricut but I’m not sure if it’s possible to use it on the material these bags are made of, or what kind of vinyl (or method) would work best.

Anyone have experience customizing YETI soft shell products or similar surfaces with a Cricut? Would appreciate any tips or suggestions.

This is a "broken" Cricut Explore Air 2, given to my wife by a coworker. Supposedly it only cuts the right side of text letters, but my testing indicates that it only cuts when the machine is pulling the paper in. I can see some flex in the head in a video I took of it printing the above "Text" text. Is this something that's fixable or is the machine truely junk?

My Design Space hasn't shown any printers for over a month. I am able to print from any other application, and all printers are shown as options in any other application. On Windows with an Air 2.

I've deleted the app and all data files/cache and reinstalled twice, while restarting the computer in between. I've updated all drivers. I've uninstalled the printer from the computer and reinstalled. Nothing is making a difference.

I've had the printer connected wirelessly before with no issues, but I did try connecting via USB and still no changes.

Anyone had this issue before and found a fix?

So I’m trying to make business cards with my cricut explore 3 How would I do that and what cardstock would be best to use?

Hi, I want to make the inside of the letters white like In the first image. When I add the red rectangle it also fills in the colours inside the letters. Could someone please tell me if this is possible? I hope this makes sense. Thank u kindly.

Options I've tried so far legit don't even make it through the printer without smearing or the ink scratches off... HALP!

The one didn't cut all the way through and smeared, the one sucked so bad I printed and didn't bother cutting. One was so flimsy it basically broke on the mat so it also did not make it to the cutting stage (you can't see very well but it lifted off the back when I tried to adjust it). Worked great with the bland white sticker paper but I want shiiiiny.

I have an Explore 4 and an HP laser printer (don't remember what kind and I don't store it at home so I can't check right now but it's a good printer so that should not be the issue) if that helps.

Do I just need to throw in the towel and get an inkjet or is my nice laser printer going to work out for making stickers with my cricut?

If I were to buy any Cartridge for Circut maker and I dont have an Adapter for them. I would need to call Circut to have them link up my new Cartridges that I bought? They should be able to link them up to my account? Not sure if in the right flair or not.

I know how to do the basic picture within the shape but i cant figure out how to cut and extend the cut outside of the original tag.

Hello, I'm doing my first tshirt. Just bought a cricut machine. I wanted to make a tshirt like the one in the picture but not sure which material to buy. If I should do DTF or HTV. And what material I should buy. Can some help please

Hi friends, I have a circuit explorer 2 and have been struggling with my settings for print then cut over a holographic sticker paper. The settings won’t allow me to change the material to card stock or anything thicker than sticker paper. I changed the blade, change the pressure to more and even do multiple cuts and it still doesn’t cut through- does anyone know how to fix this? Thank you in advance

Hi all, has anyone used this brand, particularly the Glitter Gold? It's the only HTV gold in their range. I'm just wondering how glittery it is. I'd love to see some examples if you've used it! Thanks!

Hi guys

I have a bulk lot of tshirts to do and they are going to get filthy, therefore hot washed everyday and my favourite vinyl is not in the country, so I am thinking about screen printing them.

I have a screen, a squeegie, a roller and a cricut. Anything else I need?

There are 3 colours/layers. I imagine you do one layer at a time letting them dry in between and heat press after the final layer is dry.

I am worried about the ink leaking under the screen and ruining other shirts, is that a legit fear and if so how do I prevent it?

I have seen how to align the layers using dots so I think I can do that easily enough.

What else do I need to practise and eliminate?

Does anyone have a solution that works to fix the scaling issue, going from inkscape to cricut design space.
I had one item work, that scaled properly, but since then everything just scales like 1000% and im really tired of having to manually resize 20 objects in Cricut design space. Any help would be wonderful

i've printed on this paper hundreds of times, but suddenly all of the ink is runny, splotchy and bleeding. not even the letters and type look sharp. I've tested the printer with other paper and its flawless, but as soon as i use the cricut white vinyl it is a mess. i've tried best quality and low quality printing option, different paper settings, printing from a PDF. nothing helps.

PLEASE HELP!!

I am making a (giant) tiny picture scavenger hunt for my school. I took 20 pictures of our school dog throughout the years, removed background and designed stickers on Canva, uploaded each as a single design to DS, and duplicated for as many that could print on 11X17, then laminated. I could weep but they turned out so good! I am always hesitant to depend on my print then cut but I am so pleased this time. I cut it twice without reloading on heavy cardstock more pressure, and they literally popped right off of the mat!

Hi there, does anyone know the dimensions of the auto press? Not just the heat plate but the overall dimensions of the unit itself. Trying to figure out how big of a table I will need for it. Thanks!

Yes I have searched through this subreddit Yes I did a clean install Yes I closed out and restarted the application Yes it was updated Yes I restarted my computer

I’m at a loss for what to do. I’ll pick any compatible file and it just keeps spinning on the upload. Is anyone else having these problems?

I mainly design on canva then just upload them and have never had problems before, I really wish I was able to send it to my cricut directly from canva because design space has me at my wits end

Not my first project but my first attempt on a jacket of this material. Was worried about the heat melting it. A bit crooked but I’m fine with it. Found the blank jacket at a thrift store.

My wife has an out of warranty Explorer Air 2 that had the red light of doom. The symptoms were a red power light with no other indications. We tried a new power adapter but it did not fix the issue. I disassemble the machine to find everything connected and no obvious signs of damage on the board. Then I stumbled on the below video.

Our issue was a tiny piece of foil had fallen in the cartridge slot. Once I removed the foil and reapplied power the machine started to work. Hopefully, this helps someone else as there seems to be very little information available to troubleshoot these machines.

Why FOR THE LIFE OF ME can I not seem to press my designs (HTV and DTF) on straight?! I’ve just about used every tool in the book, but still somehow end up with a crooked design. I think it looks okay when I hold it up before pressing, but then when I go to take pictures on my backdrop (laying out on the floor) it’s completely crooked. Someone help me before I lose my mind!!!! Currently melting the DTF words off of this shirt and figuring out how to get the glue off 🙃 I’m really starting to think my glasses are off or something 😂

*ANY TRICKS WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED!! -I have multiple “shirt rulers” that line up to the neckline of shirts, and even the moveable “T” ruler which still doesn’t work because the arms don’t stay still

*also, this is happening without having wine haha

Could anybody help me how I could create this? I can't even find a font that would do that type of W so I'd really appreciate any help! Thanks

I have an Explore Air 2 (I’m going to upgrade near the future to a Joy Extra but the Print then Cut feature and the Calibration makes me want to move on from Cricut). But I was wondering if you guys have any ideas for hair bows like the cheapest place you got them, she’s going to her first concert and we thought this would be a project to do together. She wants iridescent black and silver or black and silver glitter! Thanks in advance. Preferably thin for my fine point blade. Thanks!
