In reply to Barbara. Hmmm that is frustrating and you definitely shouldn't have to replace anything at a week old, though it does sound like it might be a faulty rotary blade :( Did they offer to replace for free? What type of fabric are you using?

I am new to Cricut I am struggling with my Cricut Maker when cutting fabric. I use the rotary blade, the pink fabric mat, and the Design Space to cut my fabric. The issue: it is not cutting through parts of my fabric, and basically just scores it. I tried to set the pressure under Custom Materials to a high pressure, but it is now starting to cut through the pink mat and still not cutting through certain parts of the fabric! Please help me. I did chat with Cricut and they are saying I need a new rotary blade…..the machine is a week old!

In reply to Barb. I have not - I am sorry! I believe there is a material setting in Design Space, though, that is for bonded fabric. I would start with that!

In reply to Cynthia Newman. I have been trying to work out cutting on the fold too. It will cut multiple layers if you use a temporary spray adhesive like 505 glue to hold the pieces of fabric together.

Have you tried cutting material backed with heat and bond on the cricut maker, if so what setting did you use?

Wanted to give you an update. I was able to print on fabric. Not the best, but works pretty well. But, of course, I’m limited to 12×12 single layer… so not a t-shirt, onesie, or pillow case. Now, if I can think of a use for a small fabric (maybe framed??) then I’m all set. Thanks for your help.

In reply to Marian. As long as your printer can handle the fabric, then I don't see any reason why the Maker wouldn't be able to handle that. However, I have not tried this myself.

I’m wanting to print on fabric, similar to how I’d print on paper. Would the Cricut Maker handle that? Thanks.

I haven’t tried folded fabric – you could try, but I think it would move too easily and the cut would get messed up ( As far as the longest and widest – the pink cutting mat comes in 12×24, so that would be the longest you could cut 🙂
