I am a leatherworker. My wife wanted the Cricut maker, so I bought one for her as a gift. Until she asked for it, I had never even heard of it, let alone used one. She and our adult daughter both have one and use them to make all sorts of very interesting and lovely things. It's a really interesting and useful tool for art, but as for any sort of serious leatherworking, I personally think this is something of a hard pass. Perhaps on some extremely lighter leathers, such as 1-2 oz kid skins or such it might have some limited applications, but I can't see this being useful enough to warrant having one specifically for leather work. Overall, this was a very good video. Thank you for sharing this.

Very informative video and a lot of questions answered, but I have a couple of questions to ask. Can I cut up to 3mm natural vegetable tan leather? The blade knife can be replaced on that housing part and where to find it and how many times can cut that kind of a leather. Thank you so much.

I appreciate your video, I do leather work and have had requests from my neace to make her some earrings with leather. Thinking I may dabble in the jewlery side for her. Genuine is the split under the top grain. The leather you used also looked like chrome tanned leather which is very soft. The thing I kind of wonder is how it will cut full grain veg tan leather. You would have to cover the flesh side with shipping tape and put that side down and smooth side up. Once leather is stuck down wet the surface slightly and it should cut very well.

This is a great video with great information. We're considering getting a Cricut and leather is one of the reasons. You video is very helpful. I suspect that the Cricut-brand leather is veg tan, which is stiffer and the suede side is tighter, whereas what you obtained from the craft store might have been chrome tan, which is much more "floppy" and the suede side is more "hairy", if that makes sense. I theory, I would think most 3oz/1mm veg tan leathers would work just the same as the Cricut-brand leather. Milled veg-tan leather is softer - somewhere between regular veg-tan and chrome tan. I'm not sure how it would hold up.

The mats have an adhesive but it doesn't harm anything. Putting the other side down will ruin your mat VERY quickly.

@gotwardrobe, I know this is old, but test a scrap piece is the key. All adhesives leave a residue which will affect how the leather will take the dye. I can't imagine an adhesive strong enough to hold leather on a mat for cutting is going to have less affect. My thought process is to tape down the flesh side to place on the mat, and keep the grain side up. I'll be trying this soon for a scout project.

hi Angie, what is the best way to cut wool, wool blend with either polyester or rayon? the wool will be from fabric store and not the Cricut wool. I am trying to make letters to sew on to sweaters and banners and want to use better quality wool than the really thin and "cheap feel" version. I am on the fence about purchasing a cricut maker. I use a laser cutter but the edges get burnt as to be expected. Thank you for your guidance!

Was it moving? Leather has a tendency to move on the mat and then it does all sorts of crazy things. Also did you move your star wheels over? They might have been creating a drag which messes up the placement.
