Yes I did. It’s vinyl on a balsam thin wood.

Thank you. I realized that the music was way too loud after upload.

The blade and a black one comes with the machine. You can always buy more pens and blades as needed. :)

This is the riot joy vinyl as it comes on a special paper that does need to be on mat. They also came out with smart vinyl which is very similar. These are not for clothing. You will need to buy HTV heat transfer vinyl for clothing :) and a heat press machine' .

We planted the clear part. We used an oil base dyes that we used for our epoxy projects.

You got this! It takes practice and trial and error 😉😅

No the machine will usually align it for you. 😉👍

Glad you found this helpful my friend 🩵

I think medium to heavy cardstock would work okay with the machine. I found that the joys don’t cut deep or are they sharp enough in my opinion to cut stencil material. Just something to consider. 😉

I use creative fabrica and print on a sawgrass printer www.creativefabrica.com/subscription/ref/476735/

You are so welcome! I am glad you enjoy the content. :)

Do you have the link for the free font please i cant find it in the description xx

@@chloek9862 Hey my friend that was 4 years ago but do not worry, I will send you to where you can get tons of great fonts and save tons of money. Don't buy off cricut. Check out Creative Fabrica for all your fonts, pngs and svgs. :) www.creativefabrica.com/subscription/ref/476735/

I would like to use the cricket to design t-shirts.

Thank you for your kindness.

No you can use whatever cardstock you want. Just note that light yardstick will tear or snag easily. So keep it to the medium to heavy type. :)

The extra might work better for small letter stickers again if you go below 12pt font you will run the risk of it messing up. I try to keep those projects for drawings or print only. :P

Wash with warm water- Hand wash only. I wouldn't put them in the dishwasher unless you epoxy them. :)

Yes the corner slits can be a pain at times. This can be due to the machine needing to be realigned/calibrated.

Not for the joy blades.

I am so glad you found value in my tutorial! That makes my day☀️🎉🤓. I will see if I can get a short video out soon on how to resize and match it to your mat so you can get correct sizing from screen to vinyl;).

I’m using a 65/35 poly cotton blend. These are the only shirts I used for sub/bleaching. 👍😃

To be honest I have not heard a fan on mine. I don’t use it for a long period of time and it shuts off if it isn’t used in a 10 min period I believe.

Let me see if I have my manual :)

Right! I was like dude! 🤣🤣🤣

Aww thank you my sweet friend. I am so glad you found value in our content 🩵

140 F is the lowest :)

@@SolHarmonyHolistics oh wow! Thats neat. Thanks for replying fast. Looking to use it to flatten paper prints and dry mount.

First my apologies for a late response. My friend let me see if we can figure this out. The cricut machines all come stock with a standard blade. I rarely use my fine point blade. I just reduce pressure if I have a lighter material. I wouldn’t sign up for any of their plans lol. Just base platform usage. I used creative fabrica platform for all my svg and cut files. Snag that deal here and it’s great deal where you get unlimited access. See if it makes more sense for your crafting needs. www.creativefabrica.com/ref/476735 You can use sweetcountryglam30 for a subscription . So my next question is what were you cutting ? Was the blade all the way in and down in the clamp? Could you see the blade coming down and making contact? I know you said it cut poorly so it clearly was but I’m curious if you saw how much of it. You might need to have spare blades. They are on Amazon for pretty cheap. I always swap mine every 3-4 months based on usage. Let me know your answers and keep me posted on your progress. Let me just say this. I have had weeks where nothing cut right and there was always a jam of some sort. Just be patient with yourself and as you learn this very sassy machine 😅.

@@SolHarmonyHolistics hi, thank you for your reply. Much appreciated. The first thing I cut was the sticky-backed vinyl which came in the box and it cut that very well. It was the thin card which came with the machine that cut very poorly, plus, I think the standard grip mat is too strong for card. Parts of the pattern barely cut through. Other parts cut quite well. I did check the blade and it was showing and positioned correctly. I look forward to hearing back from you 🙂 Hi, I’ve just tried cutting thin card again. The cuts show up on the front of the card, but only pierces 0.01% through to the back of the card. It’s only thin card!! What is going on?!

Hello Pam :) thank you. Check out this video - GLITTER EARRINGS YOU NEED TO LEARN HOW TO MAKE czcams.com/video/BqdE4LT6sfY/video.html

You can only print with the cricut joy xtra machine my friend

Absolutely !

Good to know! I will try that! ☀️

Yes you can as long no debris is stuck to it. I reuse it a few times.

You can hand wash it. Permanent will last longer than removable.

Only write no print option on the first joy. Get the cricut joy xtra for printing :)

65/35

It honestly isn’t that scary. I wasn’t tech savvy with this stuff and the more I played with it and learned how the platform worked, it got easier and opened doors to new creative possibilities ☀️🤩

Well, to cut out the boring part/ it was just a bunch of tightening bolts. It took my husband an hr to assemble with the Allen wrench is provided.

Rude

Cricut design space. When you buy the machine it will be in the welcome packet.

Awww I am so glad to hear that my sweet friend !!
