Katie, what a great article! I’ve had my Maker for 3-4 years and was waiting to have a craft room in my home. Long story, but I now have one and the Maker came out of the box and I’m just staring at it. Your article gave me the motivation to set it up and create. Thank you so much for ALL the links. You’ve done so much research and I appreciate that. My 1st project, whatever it is, will be dedicated to you!

Hi, just found your site. Got a cricut while home during this covid pandemic. Your tutorial on the heated vinyl was really informative and easy to follow. I think I will try that next, thank so much for posting it!!

In reply to heidi. Transfer paper/tape is a sticky material that is similar to contact paper. It helps to easily move vinyl to the blank you are using. A test cut isn't super easy with Cricut, but you can just add a small item to your design and put it on a separate mat and do a test cut with just that mat with your material. Our Cricut Support Group on Facebook is a great place to get answers!

In reply to Cyndie. Hello! I'm glad this was helpful. I would recommend getting the fine point blade for that project. The next blade I would get is the deep cut blade.

Hi. I bought my Cricut 2nd Hand last summer and, at that time, only registered it. I now want to make labels saying “PEACE” to apply to white tree ornaments. Your tutorial above has helped me get ready for this endeavor including knowing what vinyl, transfer tape, mat, & tools to purchase. My one question, so far, is what blade to purchase. Thanks for any thoughts you can share.
