Thank you for sharing your informative and concise video. I have wanted to see how Infusible Ink works but all the other videos were an hour or more and I haven’t had the time. Your 14 minute video answered all my questions. Great job!
The only reason they strongly urge the pen and markers users to use only laser printer paper is because it was designed for use with the heat the laser printer uses to adhere the plastic toner powders to the paper. I used both all printer paper and regular copy paper. The only difference is that the copy paper shows the beginning of scorching, yellowing. I also do traditional sublimation and have used the all printer paper till my sublimation paper arrived with no problems.
Will parchment paper that you bake with work in place of butcher paper? "so impatient I want to peek but I can't" you are adorable. (how this video got any thumbs down votes is beyond me. Lots of sour grapes in this world with nothing better to do I suppose.)
What a lovely sentiment. It's so bright and vibrant. I picked up the pens but didn't realize that they are different sizes. Can I ask what are the sizes? I love this machine and the press. I just wish I could afford them. Thank you for sharing. Jennifer
So many many months later, I’m sure the quilt has been washed. How does your quilt label look now? As a Longarm quilter this may be something I offer my customers, but I want to know how well it washes up. Guess I’m going to have to make one and see!!
Thank you. When you made your label did you write yourself or do on the Cricut. Wondering if you can utilize your own handwriting somehow when making the label.
Good video. Just needed to be closer. I need to make unique quilt labels. You left out what fabric you used. I am assuming it was the square that comes in the box with the transfer sheets.
Susie C yes I saw it on Jennifer Makers CZcams channel. She also demos using the original easy press and does a comparison video of the original and the 2
Thank you SO Much for this video! I just purchased a Cricut Maker mainly for quilting (cutting fabric) and have been searching all over on how to make labels for my quilts. Finally found your video and it has answered all my questions! One remaining question though is can you add a quarter inch seam allowance around the square? I using sew two fabric pieces together then turn inside out. I am new to design space and wondered how would you do this. Thank you Carole for providing this video, looking forward to following you!
absolutely you can use the Explore family machines or the Maker and I purchased my laser copy paper from amazon or any office supply store, like Staples or Office Depot
I love these fusible ink pens. I watched another video and they showed t-shirts, tote bags and coasters. Does cricut sell fabric squares? I like making my own labels one little square won't be enough for me.
Thank you for a great video. I really would like to make my own designs on fabric for quilting. Can you use this on a cotton poly blend fabric? The present Cricut blanks would not do this. Thanks.
I have old quilts my grandmother made. I wanted to put her name with her birth and death dates on the quilts. I wonder if it would work on different fabrics too
Carole's Cricut Crafts I don't own a silhouette either just a CRICUT , I have just seen videos on CZcams which show the fill option of both brother and silhouette .

I have a question about your desktop...what kind/brand is it?? TIA!! You’ve probably mentioned it before but I’ve never caught it. Thanks for sharing!!
I want to hear how it works on any fabric..... basic cotton pre washed no fabric softeners or dryer sheets. I’m thinking perhaps the same chemical treatment process as used to make fabric printable for inkjet iron on transfer fabric I know pre treated printable fabric is already available at most office stores.... I wonder if you might try that and wash and such to let us know how that works with the pens I have so many brands of pens for all separate projects and uses.... I don’t want to invest in a mother set of pens that use can’t be expanded to use on the limited “cricut” brand items. Thanks
Hi Carol, is there a way to add fill lines to the inside of a design to fill the design(s) with touching lines that are so close together the pens will actually color in the inside of the design as in this example your Stars? Love Cricuts New infusible ink items...
@@CarolesCricutCrafts Thanks Carole!!! Would you please ask Cricut to add a fill line option we sure do need one, hope they add one soon. Also need to be able to adjust design(s) placements using the arrow keys so we can get the design exactly Where we need it. (Some of us are not good at typing in an area on the mat. Also need ability to use a node tool to aide in creating our designs, also A Way to move/adjust where the tool carriage is setting like we could years ago All of these additions would be truly be Very helpful. Thanks Please Share These Request With Cricut management...
@@CarolesCricutCrafts thank you carol. I did watched another video by you showing us all the blanks and pens. Thanks so much for the videos you shared.
When I chose the draw feature to write out the fonts they are always outlined, not just solid. How do I change that so I can make fabric labels like you did?
This seems to be Cricut’s alternative to “sublimation”. If so, then this process should work on white polyester shirts, and other sublimation blanks (coasters, Totes). The pens, for me, defeat the purpose if unable to fill color and would prefer to use the transfer sheets for small embellishments such as the stars and also for solid images using the pattern sheets. You would still have to weed the excess material from the transfer sheets for graphics with detail or typography.
Yes, Infusible Ink transfers work like dye sublimation. What is different about the Infusible Ink system is that it is uniquely designed to work with your familiar Cricut products and tools to give you consistently incredible results at home - without the cost, size, and complexity of commercial dye sublimation equipment.
C Rob she stayed in a previous video that it will not work on 100% cotton. As with any sublimation you can do it but the results will not be the same as using polyester
Carole, another video I watched cautioned to not touch inked area as fingerprints leave oils that may mar design. But that was with the sheets not the pens. Does it hold true for the pens? Also can parchment paper be used instead of butcher paper?
and I haven't had any issue touching the transfer sheets so far but I would not make a habit of carrying them around in my hands... light touches while you weed haven't effected it
They made it sound like you can only use their “blanks.” Will they be also selling fabric? Did not see that in the product blanks. What fabric did you use?
This is exactly what I was looking for. You jump right into it and make it simple to follow. I love that. THANK YOU!
Wow,now this opens up new possibilities for clothing labels custom made
veronica, love to see what ya come up with@!

Wow. totally neat. great idea to customize all the love put into your quilt! they will cherish it for always
Carole. your freaking a rock star! thanks!
Perfect for quilt labels!
Love this video, very clear instructions
Wow this is great! Thxs for sharing. Can you put the camera closer? Its just easier to see the details and texture of things.
OMG CAROLE!!!!!!! THIS IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING!!!!!!👍👍👏👏👏👏👏👍👍THANK YOU CRICUT!!! ~😺Katz
if you remove cardboard from the mat after heating it will cool down much faster. ;)
wow I buy my cricut exactly for that , thank you
Great idea! Thanks
Thank you Carole, another thorough video!! 🎉❤️
Game changer for quilt labels
Will parchment paper that you bake with work in place of butcher paper?
"so impatient I want to peek but I can't" you are adorable.
(how this video got any thumbs down votes is beyond me. Lots of sour grapes in this world with nothing better to do I suppose.)
they are NOT THE SAME. Parchment paper contains silicone and should not be used with infusible inks
@@CarolesCricutCrafts I'm glad for these Qs and As! I was wondering the same thing. Thank you.
Very cool and nice tutorial !😊
gorgeous image ... and great video as well
Absolutely ♥️ this!!
That's amazing!! Great video!!
I love your work. Thanks for inspired me :)
This is so amazing !!!
What a lovely sentiment. It's so bright and vibrant. I picked up the pens but didn't realize that they are different sizes. Can I ask what are the sizes? I love this machine and the press. I just wish I could afford them. Thank you for sharing. Jennifer
THANKYOU so much for the great video. Can’t wait to try this.
Nice video very detailed. Camera too far away can’t see the end product.
Thank you for sharing, it was very informative!
Hi there, what is the differance between laser & ink jet paper ? Why laser ? Ive got the ones that can take both, will that be ok ?
Building the advanced future!!
hi. thanks. how did you get that 4" square for it to cut out? did you just pick a square in the image options or create one in text using lines?
So many many months later, I’m sure the quilt has been washed. How does your quilt label look now? As a Longarm quilter this may be something I offer my customers, but I want to know how well it washes up. Guess I’m going to have to make one and see!!
Thanks for the tutorial. How long can you wait before applying the design to the fabric? Also, the fabric has to be polyester.?
Can you use quilt cotton for the label? I just got a cricut maker for my anniversary. So I’m brand new to this world o’cricut
Thank you for this great video. Looking for a tutorial on how to do a tshirt of my gdr art for Christmas
Love this! Thanks for sharing!
What type of material was this you used? Can you use this method on cotten I wonder ?
Thank you. When you made your label did you write yourself or do on the Cricut. Wondering if you can utilize your own handwriting somehow when making the label.
Just a question Carole whats the difference between the Infusible ink pens and the markers ?
Good video...but really need to speed up the wait times...
Can the pens do all of the colors or do you have to only do the black and then hand color the others?
there are some new images in design Space that your machine will colour in with the pens/markers...and more to come...
What is the advantage of the infusible ink markers over using fabric pens? And does Cricut have a universal pen adapted?
The ink is fused into the fabric fibers, it is permanent
Can I go directly to my cotton quilt fabric label vs t-shirt material for my quilt label?
Why didnt you color the stars with the Cricut??
Can you reuse the same image? or is it a one time use thing? thanks for the video
reese jones you can with the pens but the second press will be less vibrant
What fabric other than Cricut brand can it work on ?
I’m wondering if the cricut maker will be able to write lettering to fit to label measures 1”T x1.7”W
Do you have to iron it on right away after creating the drawn image? Or is it ok to not for a couple days?
Cool stuff. Just curious - where are you from? You end every sentence with a high note, as if they're all questions.
Good video. Just needed to be closer. I need to make unique quilt labels. You left out what fabric you used. I am assuming it was the square that comes in the box with the transfer sheets.
that's exactly what she mentioned towards the end
can I just freehand draw on the paper with the pens... I dont have a cricut cutting machine but i do have the easy press
yes, you definitely can!
Susie C yes I saw it on Jennifer Makers CZcams channel. She also demos using the original easy press and does a comparison video of the original and the 2
Looks amazing! What font did you use thanks

Yes Chris, you can.
I’d really love to use this technique to make a personalized handkerchief, would that be possible?
Can I do this with explore air and where can I get laser copy paper from
absolutely you can use the Explore family machines or the Maker and I purchased my laser copy paper from amazon or any office supply store, like Staples or Office Depot
You are amazing and love watching all your videos #createwithcricut ✂️🖌💜💜
I am wanting to put a great grandma recipie on 100 percent cotton but I would rther not do iron on will this work for that project
The infusible ink pens are basically sublimation so need to be used on a polyester base/fabric.
so in theory, can we free hand using these pens?
Yes
What font did you use? It’s beautiful.
I love these fusible ink pens. I watched another video and they showed t-shirts, tote bags and coasters. Does cricut sell fabric squares? I like making my own labels one little square won't be enough for me.
There are lots of new blanks coming.,...

Nice, maybe use a fan to cool it off 😀😀
Thank you for sharing Carole.When will all this be available to purchase? ❤️
Later this month
Carole's Cricut Crafts from what I understand, it will be available at Micheals only on June 21
You can order online on June 16th from Michaels
This is great thanks for the video.
Carole, can you use this on material that has the bond product on it to make it Iron on?
Maura Ryan-Forrester excellent question!
I think with the silhouette you would be able to fill within the lines too ! Can I use this on genuine leather instead of fabric?
I have no idea about Silhouette ive never owned nor used one. but whatever surface you use them on needs to be polyester coated so no not leather
Carole's Cricut Crafts I don't own a silhouette either just a CRICUT , I have just seen videos on CZcams which show the fill option of both brother and silhouette .

How do the color hold washes ?
What type of fabric is it? Cotton? Polyester?
Polyester
Could you use the cool setting on a hairdryer to cool off the fabric?
tweetybrd78 I guess you could but it doesn’t take that long to cool...
Can we use A-Sub paper?
I have a question about your desktop...what kind/brand is it?? TIA!! You’ve probably mentioned it before but I’ve never caught it. Thanks for sharing!!
Karla ! My desktop? I’m using a 21” Mac
Sorry Carole I meant your tabletop...
@@klujan oh my tables are Ikea...
Carole, thanks for the video. Where did you get the butcher paper?
Marta Arguello it’s included with the transfer sheets
@@CarolesCricutCrafts Thanks Carole, but we run out where we can get it.
@@martaarguello7210 im asking about it, I can get back to you
Thanks Carole, because the butcher paper that Costco sale is brown and that is white.
Did you try Amazon
Do you have to use an Easy Press or can you use a clam shell heat press with these products? Thanks, Carole.
apparently it will work with a heat press but we will not be providing temperature and time settings. we recommend the easyPress
I want to hear how it works on any fabric..... basic cotton pre washed no fabric softeners or dryer sheets.
I’m thinking perhaps the same chemical treatment process as used to make fabric printable for inkjet iron on transfer fabric

Cindy Donaldson I’ve heard it can’t be used on cotton. Only a polyester blend. I think 95% polyester 5% spandex or something like that.
You cannot use these pens on cotton.
Carole's Cricut Crafts
Thanks.
So.... using it on just a polyester
What does it have to be treated with
I am anxious to get this!!!
Hi Carol, is there a way to add fill lines to the inside of a design to fill the design(s) with touching lines that are so close together the pens will actually color in the inside of the design as in this example your Stars? Love Cricuts New infusible ink items...

Will this work with non- Cricut materials? Could I use any fabric or shirts?
Cricut blanks are recommended. I have not tried any other brand. It does not work on 100% cotton.
IMPORTANT***Parchment paper is not the same as butcher paper. Parchment paper contains silicone and should not be used with infusible inks
So glad you mentioned that. I was thinking about asking this question.
Enjoyed your video. Can you to this process on black t-shirt or do you have to use only white tshirts
different colour t-shirts will be coming to the lineup but for launch there will only be white.
@@CarolesCricutCrafts thank you carol. I did watched another video by you showing us all the blanks and pens. Thanks so much for the videos you shared.
Can you set the Cricut to colour in the stars in separate colours?
not yet.
Can you use any type of fabric?
Can you use this on any fabric? I saw somewhere that Cricut would be selling "blanks". What is special about those blanks?
Cricut blanks are recommended. I have not tried any other brand. It does not work on 100% cotton.
It needs polyester or poly blend to work
Instead of coloring the stars in by hand, can’t you just use the machine to color them?
Nope, it’ll only do an outline/draw for you
When I chose the draw feature to write out the fonts they are always outlined, not just solid. How do I change that so I can make fabric labels like you did?
You need to find a font that is writing style and single line.
@@CarolesCricutCrafts ah I will have to see if I have one. I should get access but am saving my $ to pay the year in full.
@@suzanneyerks.3013 yes the premium access is the best... 20% off materials 10% off everything else and 50% off digital images
Can u use parchment paper.
Is the extra fabric squares or fat quarter available by Cricut also?
Rita Brassfield not yet....
The machine can not color the stars??
Can it be 65 lb card stock ?

Can you a regular iron for the infusion ink?
Zandria Mayweather no you cannot, a regular iron does not get hot enough
what kind of fabric can you use with the pens?
Polyester or a 95/5 poly spandex.
Can you use fabric pens instead?
no, they will not transfer
Would this work on colored fabric?
Nancy Riley when this product launches it will only be white but more colours are planned....
Can we use these pens in the Vrither ScanNCut DX?
Brother...
Deena Jeffrey I don’t think the pens fit in other machines
I hope they offer the transfer sheets in bulk
if they do it won't be for a while....
Carole, another video I watched cautioned to not touch inked area as fingerprints leave oils that may mar design. But that was with the sheets not the pens. Does it hold true for the pens? Also can parchment paper be used instead of butcher paper?
parchement does not work with the infusible inks as it contains wax
and I haven't had any issue touching the transfer sheets so far but I would not make a habit of carrying them around in my hands... light touches while you weed haven't effected it
Awesome.. are there more colors of the ink pens such as brown.
yes there are 10 colours so far...
They made it sound like you can only use their “blanks.” Will they be also selling fabric? Did not see that in the product blanks. What fabric did you use?
I used the swatch that comes with the infusible ink sheet but many more blanks are coming to the line up
Not only their blanks but you need poly in the surface you are working on
What pound of butcher paper should we buy to have on hand for extra? Thanks
jan fate 20lb
What is the fabric made of? Cotton or polyester?
Me and bestie these products do not work on 100% cotton, they are a blend.
How much is it?
If you catch my introduction video I give all the prices.
I thought you had to use cricut blanks
Sarah Dean that I a swatch that comes with the product, it is from Cricut.
@@CarolesCricutCrafts Oh thanks
