Tips and Tricks for using Cricut Machines

Surprisingly, sometimes it's worth trying a brand not cricut (oracle, for example) for premium vinyl. It works on the same setting.

This is back from when I first opened the cricut and placed it on the dresser, but... absolutely make sure that it has the needed space behind it. The mat gets pulled through it, so it really does need the space behind.

Keep the mats covered by their plastic when not in use

Again, a kind of obvious one but... make sure that in design space the correct material has been selected!

I heard this one on a facebook group...to make the design not go all funny and out of place, before you hit the "Make" button, make sure to select everything and attach it. That way it all stays where you put it, and you only have to arrange it once.

This first one isn't really so much a tip as a warning. It probably goes without saying, but... the weeding tools are sharp. Be careful not to poke yourself!
