- In this video I show you how you can print larger than the 6.75 x 9.25 inch restriction that is currently on the print and cut feature in design space.
Using the slice tool you will split the image in half! This will allow you to print your image and join it together when placing your decal or heat transfer or whatever material you are using. You can slice images into four if you want even larger images!

Thank you so much! I wanted to make a 20x20 pillows and the design was too small. When I found your video, I jumped for Joy! Your explanation was clear and concise and easy to follow. Thanks again
Oh my gosh I finally found a video less complicated!!! Thank you for this!
Best instruction I’ve seen compared to other videos. Thank you
Thank you!! You just helped me with a project as a new store owner that has saved me. You made it make sense.
May you make an extended video to show how you snip the picture to a different program , print the picture and place/apply it to the tshirt ?
I’ve been so busy teaching and in my Facebook group that I haven’t had a lot of time to make more videos. I will definitely try to get around to this.
Thanks, just what I was looking for. Simple and straight to the point.
I am glad that this video is helpful to folks. I will try to answer as many questions as possible. I do teach how to use design space and your machines in my Facebook group Coco brown Creations. One thing that is very different about my teaching environment is I don’t allow or encourage negativity or judgement. I will shut that down. Any question is valid.... but some comments need to be kept to your self!! Be humble. Be mindful that somebody’s taking their time out of their day in their life to try to help another person. Most of us on CZcams don’t get paid and we’re not sponsored. The majority of people that need help may not feel comfortable asking for it and it takes a lot of courage to do so. More teaching, love and less judgment. Again I hope you found this video helpful and if you didn’t.... Hopefully you’ll find a video that is.
This is a different way of doing this. Great information
This is very helpful. I half todo this for an order.I did it but didn’t think to resize once sliced. 😊 thank you
Thanks so much - I love the advice of just going for it to learn and be better!!
id love to see a video of you actually laying the sliced image on the shirt and pressing it. that is what im struggling with right now
Your tutorial was a life saver today
I have tried and tried to do this thank you 🙏 with all my heart ❤️
Love it ‘chucky you just got cut in half’ super cool video thank you
Yes hands on is what helps me learn , even if that cost me material sad but true .
thank you for the golden nuggets of info...i like your style at 5:52...take care
Thank you so much. This was the easiest video to understand. 😊
Thanks I'm try it like this hope it works and your T-shirt is 🔥 🔥 🔥
Thx yu sooo much this is so simplified and direct and helpful thx again
Thank you for not making this video super long and very direct to the point. Can you tell me how you added the blood splatters to the shirt?
I used red ink from a pen for my first shirt. After about 2 washes it faded to pink. The next one I made I actually googled blood spatter images and printed them on printable vinyl aka heat transfer sheet. I used light transfer one. I cut them and placed them randomly. That looked way better and didn't fade. You could also use sublimation instead of heat transfer sheets.
@@cocobrowncreations3508 aww man that’s cool I’m going to do some research on this bcz I want to try it in a different scenario
Helped a lot, thank you.
Hello I just saw your video and I really like it but I believe now we can make the images larger on Cricut. Have you done a video with the new settings?
5:28 That's the problem with the slice method. It always leaves some part of the image out. And if you overlap it, it won't be lined up together perfectly. It'll be uneven. There's still no video on how to fix that. I'm a perfectionist also. And that tiny white line drives me CRAZY! 😂 Especially when there's multiple pieces, and there's white lines EVERYWHERE!
I’m trying to make an image larger too! Do you think I can tape the pieces together and press or should I press one piece at a time to make sure it’s lined up properly? Thanks for the video!
Great Video❤️❤️❤️
I’m having a problem with overlapping and having a line through the image.
This helps a lot ..thank you for sharing
Thanks for that tutorial u just taught me something
Could you show us how you do it with another program? Do you print with another program and still cut it with the Cricut machine?
Thank you so much this has helped me alot!
Great video thankyou
I’m confused if I’m trying to print out color images how would my Cricut do that?
Thank you so much for this tutorial
Why when I add my pic it does not want me to slice it don't day nothing at the bottom
What happened to the cut part? I’m having a hard time with that
I don't know why, but this totally didn't work for me! When I sent the project to the printer it came up with four different pieces to be cut, on the same 9.25 x 6.75 page....they didn't even look like they were mirrored images of the same shape! any thoughts?
When you print from word or paint how do you get your cricut to cut it out for you ?
You'll have to cut it yourself from Word and Paint. And if you cut it with Cricut, it leaves white lines. Meaning Cricut cuts off some part of the image when you slice it. You'll have little missing pieces of your image when you go to put it together like a puzzle. That's the Con of Cricut. (B.t.w. If you know how to fix that white line/missing pieces problem, please let me know) The Pro of Cricut is it'll give a clean cut. The Con of Word and Paint, you'll have to cut it out yourself. The Pro of Word and Paint, it'll print out the FULL IMAGE, minus the white lines/ missing pieces.
Ok is there a video where you show the 2X or 3x, and also what if the sublimation paper isn’t big enough like a regular sheet of paper. Or do you just fit each separate image onto the sub paper?
How to make the square larger?
It still tells me that the image is too large , & to reduce it to 6 inches :(
Amazing!! I did it 🥰🥰🥰🥰 Thank you!!
Thank you so much for this video🙌💞
What was your print dimensions to make it over lap with out leaving a line in the middle great video I'm trying to do this with heat transfer paper to make larger images but it leaves a line great video
Same here and the line is noticeable xc
Wow great video thank you❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow awesome
Thank you for the video super helpful. I got all the way up to taking a snip, I'm able to take it but when I paste it on word it has the ENTIRE screen not just the image. How do you go about that?
Ur a Freakin AMAZING...Thank you
so glad i ran into this video. Just getting started and learning anything i can. When I say just getting started I mean like 3 days old. so im a baby at this LOL when yo mentioned going to word and said print on regular paper...was that just to see how it came out or are you using regular aper to transfer image over when heated? sorry for the uneducated questions.
Imma dumbaxx I need the whole process. 🤣🤣 like how does it come out when u print it . Are u printing on 8.5x11 . Is it better to print in multi page printer preference or this way . 🤦♀️🤣 I'm a newbie
Thank you so much for this🤗
So how would the machine cut it if printed with another program without the registration square?
How do you cut the image after you print it in word doc, back in design space.
No matter what i do, this won’t work :( can someone help
How did you cut it after the using word?
I
When transferred to word how will you be certain it will match up if you resize the spliced parts?
Hello! I need help please with trying to do a print then cut for a 3x shirt; the smaller images won't look right. If anyone can direct me to a youtube for this and for the snippet tool. Thanks so much!
What printer do you use..I have an Epson 2720 but my pics come out dull
If you move it to another program how would have your cricut cut it out?
Thank you
Thanks that helps
Once you print from another program how do you calculate the Cricut to cut it?
I managed to split a logo I need to do. But it won't allow me to cut it with my Cricut. I have the Cricut maker. What would you suggest I do?
Thanks
so how do you cut after you have printed using the cricut. Also I tried slicing and used heat resistant tape and when I pulled the tape off, it also pulled out color how did you resolve this?
How do you do that in word?
What transfer paper did you use? The colors are super vibrant.
WHATS THE SOFTWARE
What website are you using to design
Nice video👍🏻
Hi I know I’m late, but after printing it from somewhere other than DS do you hand cut it out?
Can you send that file?
What is the best print transfer paper?
If you did it in Microsoft how did you cut the image out ?
How would you cut it? Thanks
For this specific project I was using light heater transfer sheets So I just trimmed around it with my scissors. If I was doing something like this that required the cut, I would use the Silhouette or the outline of the design and bring that into my cutting program. Whatever size it tells me it is in word, I put that dimension into cricut. Then I will place My papers down onto my mat where it shows me it’s going to cut it out. If it’s simple I’ll just cut it by hand.
Love it! If you do it in Word, how did you cut it afterwards? By hand?
Because I was using a light heat transfer sheet on a light garment I did not need to use my machine to cut it. If I’m doing sublimation or heat transfer on like I often times will just trim the image by tearing it or cutting it quickly just to remove excess paper. If I was to be doing this on dark heat transfer or card stock, etc I would upload the cut file (outline) of the image. In the video you will see how I choose the print and cut option for checking and not the cut file. And then I slice the image and bring it over to Word. You would do a second step by uploading the image repeating the same steps but this time you would choose a cut file. Whatever the size is for your complete image when it is put together, that is how big your cut file would be. I actually got the idea from watching people making over sized standees. If you ever watch any of those videos it’s the same concept. I will definitely have to make a video on how I go about cutting things. Because it differs depending on what I’m working with material wise. I will try to make a follow up video for this
Hi once you have sent the 3 images to print and cut do you put 3 transfer paper in the photo copy machine?
Great video never seen this done before!
Good idea wizard
How do you get the Cricut to cut it if you print from word ?
I was just about to ask this question
Whatever the dimensions are in word I plug those dimensions into design space. In order to know the true dimensions you have to remove the background of whatever image you are using if it’s not a traditional rectangle shaped picture. I hope that makes sense. So for Chucky the background looks white but I actually removed it so it was transparent. Then you will know the true width and height of your picture image or character or what have you. If you go to the format tab in Microsoft Word and select your picture it will tell you exactly what the width and the length is. Those are the numbers that she will use in design space. The only differences is that she will not be doing a print and cut you will just do the cut. So when you upload the image into design space with a transparent background you choose the cut option. Then plug in the numbers and send it to your mat. Now comes the tricky part because you have to line it up on your mat exactly how it looks on the screen.
How do you know what size to make the image for tees?
And do you hand cut it??
Hi, great job! Where did you find the pgn?
If you upload to another program, do you then have to handcut?
I was thinking the same thing!
Yes. For this particular shirt I was using light heat transfer sheet on a white shirt so I didn’t have to do really detail cutting I just cut the majority of the excess off. If I was doing this on a dark shirt using dark transfer paper I would definitely have to hand cut it with detail. Anytime you cut something outside of design space you’re gonna have to do it by hand. The problem is is that design space can only cut up to 6.75 x 9.25. Before I had the machine I used to do a lot of hand cutting because I’m a seamstress so it doesn’t bother me that much to have to hand cut something out every now and then. But yes if this is something that you don’t care to do I would suggest making your image small enough to do it in design space
I have a question
How do you cut the sliced image if you use another program to print other than DS? Thank you.
I hand cut it. I’m usually doing sublimation or heat transfer sheets. For this particular project wasn’t a big issue or detail cutting. I only use my maker for cut files. Anything that Involves printing I generally bypass my cricut or my silhouette cutting machines.
You can always use your snipping tool on a PC or your screenshot feature on your device to take a picture of the sliced images From whatever program. You can then upload into design space like a picture and just upload all of the images. You’ll have to resize them to make sure that they look good and you can then cut from design space
What would be a good transfer paper?
The slice option is greyed out for me I cannot even click it as an option ?????
If the slice option is grayed out its because of 2 things. 1- you only have one item/layer selected. 2- you have more than 2 items/layers selected.
When designing images (print and cut) you have to flatten all the layers into one. For text and others (cut), you have to weld first.
Then select 2 items at a time and slice.
Which heat transfer paper did you use? I have this image and been trying for days to get the sizing right in Word to get it on a large shirt ugh!!
I use NuFun brand. I like 3g opaque for my dark transfer sheets as well.
Wait, did you say you overlapped the image rather than lined it up precisely?
Also, I’m confused as to why you print on another program. Does printing from cricut not work as well?
For your first question about overlapping. If you try to line it up precisely you will have a gap. I have learned through my experience that if you try to line the papers up you will end up seeing a line on your garment. You have to have a slight overlap of the papers. For your second question as to why I print on another program. Because design space has printing limitations. 6.75 x 9.25 is extremely limiting. When I do my sublimation prints or other images I need to print up to 13 x 19“. So I use another program to do that like Photoshop or affinity word or I print directly from my files. It’s to avoid the printing limitations of cricut design space.
@@cocobrowncreations3508 My printer also prints 13x19! Should I use this method to print that big?
HOW DO I GET THE GRID OFF TO DO A SNIP
Top left corner between the numbers on the computer, click until it goes away. On iPad you go to your settings to turn it off.
How do you get rid of the break line when you slice
If you’re talking about when you are pressing it on your garment I slightly overlap my image maybe 1/32 of an inch. That way you don’t end up having a line and it’s completely seamless
Okay so what if I need to make a 3x shirt how do I make it big enough please do a video on this topic for design space 😩
I typically make my decals really big. For a3X shirt I would do it 12 or 13 inches wide. The same steps are going to apply here but you may need to use more than two pieces to do so. Another technique that I will encourage you to research is oversized printing for standees. That is when you take a larger than life piece of foam board and make a dinosaur or a Dora the explorer out of. I will try to make a video when I get back to town on how to do this and make a updated video
@@cocobrowncreations3508 okay thanks so much but can we do this in design space I know nothing about the silhouette stuff I have a Cricut explore air 2
@@GetglammedwithNahnii Yes I would do this in design space
Okay so I make the pic as big as I can and just slice the image more then once cause it’s telling me I can’t make it bigger the. 12 inch
@@cocobrowncreations3508 if you are using printable htv light, how are you able to get 12 or 13 inch width?
So how do you get the picture to print from word, get it on the transfer paper while also cutting it? I thought that you had to use cricut to have it evenly cut out, I’m just a little confused how you were able to get the image cut and get it on transfer with word. If you could help me that would great!
When you print on heat transfer sheets, you load it in your printer like reg paper. I used light transfer paper so no need to cut. Its like sublimation, the white background doesn't transfer. Just your image. No need to cut, you can trim around the image if you'd like. For dark transfer you would need to cut. The process requires a second step of uploading the image as a CUT not print and cut. You have to size it the same height and length as your sliced image put together. Then you would print your sliced image on your transfer sheets, tape your papers together (look up all over sublimation shirt to see how they "tile" the papers together, also check out oversized standeez with cricut). Once together you would need to place on your mat exactly as it shows in your screen. Move things around until it looks right. Then cut.
Can I use heat tape for dark transfers great video
Will you have to hand cut it? And are you using transfer paper or vinyl
Has to be transfer paper cus you can’t print onto the vinyl. It’s too many colors
I will only hand cut if I’m using light heat transfer sheet on a white shirt. If I was doing this on a dark shirt I would also use heat transfer sheets and I would not hand cut it because I don’t want any of the white background to show.
Do you need to use a program to print it or can you just use design space? Thanks
You can use design space for sure. I use word because I can make larger. Just remember you have a size restriction of 6.75 x 9.25 in design space. If that's not large enough for your design after slicing into 2, slice into 4 pieces. "Tile" it together and press.
Where you get that image from?
From google
Does Cricut cost? How do u download it in your laptop is it a website
Cricut is a cutting machine. When you purchase one of their machines, you download and use a program called Cricut Design Space to create your designs and use the machine to cut material. The program is only for people who have a machine and you can use it on an iPad, laptop or computer.
S L O W down, lady! Geez, switch to decaf!
I generally don’t drink coffee. This is more a video for an advanced crafter. A newbie could actually watch this video and probably figure some things out but the tools and the concepts and I’m using are a little more advanced. I do slow down for folks in my personal Facebook group and do one on ones.
@Denim Gardener When you have three businesses to run two kids and you still teach you try to hurry up and get through tutorials another people ask you to do as well. Somebody actually asked me for some help and I took the time out of my life to make them this video. I am a teacher I’m not a CZcams influencer. Hopefully this video helps you. I don’t care for negative comments or put downs.
Are you using sublimation or printable vinyl
For this particular shirt I used heat transfer sheets.
Confused you will be
Why mention Word that can only do that page size....No end product......Ok we are all busy but this does not help you not needed save your time and effort for he kids. I will rewatch and see what you are trying to do. Hopefully my wife can reproduce the tee shirt. ❤️
What app is that
Im using Microsoft word and Cricut design space
