[@mrs.rebelle]

I'm still new to Cricut, so I spend a lot of time watching KZbin tutorials and I have to say you are the best teacher ever! Everything was explained so well making it easy to understand. Thank you so much for spending the time doing these videos to help beginners like me. They are appreciated.

[@32ballkay4ever]

YES YOUR SOOOO RIGHT, he gives you a much better understanding about the Cricut. I Can watch all day.

[@leemarx4560]

I am also new enjoyed waching Mr. Crafty Pants videos learned alot

[@queenrae91]

I agree. How are you liking your cricut?

[@terrim.602]

I agree with this statement. I like the honesty and his little tips, like painters tape.

[@sandrascotland6836]

I don't understand why ppl dislike Michaels tutorials ...what is there to dislike...honestly some jealous ppl out there . Sending love from Scotland Michael x

[@jillbryant7128]

agree.. his tutorials are the best I've seen!

[@rosamccord9398]

I have subscribed to lots of videos trying to learn all this and finally him. I am stuck on his videos

[@cillhouetteasmr9743]

Agreed! He’s great!

[@marisolmondragon2010]

I messed this up a million times. And then I saw your video saying put the material face down. I wanna cry 😭

[@vgb10dst]

I’m so with you!! I wasted so much material.OMG

[@margaretvanessen6871]

Me too 😢

[@nglenn4919]

Your comment saved me before I even saw the video… So Thanks!! 😊

[@carlabetlem5962]

I have watched so many tutorials on vinyl for tshirts and was SOOOOO confused. I wasted so much material. NO ONE said use the MIRROR, NO ONE explained about the transfer. They went through this 1/2 hour long speech and didn't really explain the actual process. THANK YOU SOOOO much. You did make it so easy! I am no longer confused. I really appreciate your simplicity :)

[@mrcraftypants]

Carla thank you so much for telling me that! That really makes my day!

[@terryakendall2919]

you did this so cool, I am a librarian who was given this and I really have to try it, It has been in the box on the shelf for months, I will try it since you gave such easy instructions, thanks

[@natashaolivares6576]

I just want to say THANK YOU!!! This is the second video of yours I have watched. You are absolutely amazing at explaining things in details so all of us newbies can follow. This is very new and different for what I have been doing my whole life, because I wanted a change and to explore my creative side. I wasn't quite getting the just of things until YOUR video. Now, the the light bulb in my brain finally switched on and I am really comprehending how all this works. I can't thank you enough!!! I have already subscribed to this channel and will be following you on all the other platforms. Seriously thank you so much!!

[@rosamccord9398]

I am soooooo glad I found you. I've had my machine for 4 years. I've looked at soooooooo many videos and tried really hard to do this stuff. After soooooo many tries with no success I got frustrated and put my machine away. I watched one of your videos a few days ago and I actually made something. Thank you so much for your teachings. Watched a lot of different videos that just didn't help. I can really understand you and I feel like I'm right there. Thanks again

[@denisem5437]

As a beginner, you have won me over. Thank you, for thinking about us and keeping it simple.

[@NicoleSherman-l5y]

I love your videos! Finally, a voice I can follow. I get irritated by some how-to video voices, but I can always watch yours to the end. Keep posting!

[@amandaqueena3750]

🤭 I agree with you!

[@thefeays]

Oh what a relief. Easy to follow, fun and free of the sell, sell, sell vibe I've encountered elsewhere.....thank you!

[@tiffanyortiz9762]

I'm new to using my Cricuit & am watching videos before I attempt it. Your video has been most helpful especially since you showed what to do as far as measuring & the different things on your lap top! Thanks!

[@jerisworld]

I love Mr. Crafty Pants! Thank you so much for your simple, clear, talented videos. The mistake many vloggers make is being too verbose, getting off on tangents that nobody cares about, and isn't here for - and just being generally annoying. Like, get to the point - right? You do these Vlogs BEAUTIFULLY! Thank you - superstar!

[@kayyvee2212]

As a beginner I thank you so much for this. Facebook groups are no help. Thank YOU so much

[@anitageissinger2568]

Michael, I'm new to this. bought my explorer air 2 about 3 weeks ago and can't take it out of the box. I started watching your channel and you have made it look so easy and fun and I've built my confidence. My question is is there any way to get a complete listing of the videos you've made? I'm looking for all your beginner videos. Thanks again for all the hard work it takes to make these videos. Us viewers don't take them for granted. Continued blessings.

[@mrcraftypants]

Hey Anita! Thanks so much for watching my tutorials and I'm so happy they've been helpful to you. All you have to do is go to the main page of my channel here to see a list of all of my videos 👉 kzbin.info/door/teOkDMPlUTXvLazgsPoJ1Q

[@anitageissinger2568]

@@mrcraftypants thanks. Yes, I see all your videos. I should have been clearer. I’ve wasn’t sure if I could download a printout of the titles. That would certainly be a KZbin enhancement.

[@sharonbush14]

Thank you so much for the walkthrough! So many other videos skip steps I feel are really important! I haven't started my heat press journey yet, but I wanted to watch some tutorials before I start and your video took away the anxiety I was left with from other videos.

[@angelablanchard0320]

I got my very first Cricut for my birthday this month. i wanted to make some Christmas gifts with it. This video was insanely helpful and super easy to understand. Thank you for making it!!!

[@05Jonesey]

I swear you are my savior, I love you so much!!!! You have saved me from so many mistakes. You are now my one and only go-to for all my Cricut questions!!! Thank You

[@melissamorgan2357]

I would like to thank you. I have watched several different people but after watching your video you made it so simple and easy.

[@mrcraftypants]

I'm so glad it helped Melissa! 🤩🤩

[@haleybethea3395]

omg. I was hopelessly lost until I found your video. Like on the verge of tears frustrated ya know? So thank you!!!!!!!!

[@sushibinstwt_]

same

[@nickieestrada-garrido6140]

Same omg ur awesome

[@natashaolivares6576]

This is how I felt too!! Before his videos.

[@blancaguerrero4251]

Brother you saved me from a huge mistake, I almost forgot to mirror and to change the settings from cardstock to iron on. I avoided a mistake thanks to you. Thank you for saving me, I found this video very useful.

[@starrrozmiarek3322]

Why can't you wash it? You can put this on clothing that gets washed regularly, right? Please excuse my ignorance, I'm new to this, just trying not to screw something up!

[@definitelynotelsie2570]

I googled it and it said just to wait 24 hrs b4 washing vinyl iron ons

[@terrim.602]

Same here. I don't understand why it can't be washed. I've seen some videos saying the heat press is inferior to the big ones and the vinyl doesn't adhere as well. They said if you are trying to make a business, to definately buy a big heat press for shirts, or any clothing. I feel like cricut is false advertising for their flat irons for htv abilities. 🙄😕

[@marc-andreservant201]

It can be washed about 30 times. Obviously this is under ideal conditions (Everyday iron-on on 100% cotton / non-strech polyester, stretchable HTV on stretchable fabrics). A trick I found is that it lasts longer when the shirt is washed inside out. Also never tumble dry on the hot setting or it will smear (especially the stretchy vinyl which melts at a lower temperature than the non-stretchy HTV), just use common sense and a clothes hanger.

[@hrc3040]

Ok, Mr Crafty Smarty Pants. Love how you showed how to turn down the temp while setting it and that you explained why you put the tape on the right side because you are right handed.

[@eunicesantana443]

Most simple video I've see on working w Iron on vinyl. I always go back to it when I'm making tshirts!

[@mrcraftypants]

Great to hear! Glad it was helpful!! 🤩

[@jennyhackenberg3790]

I have one of the first circuts that ever came out and I have used it over the years to cut fabric pieces for my quilts I do. now I am going to be using them to make wooden signs. I have been watching you for a while and I live your step by step instructions. keep it up

[@renj627]

This was by far the BEST tutorial i've found on youtube. Thank you! I made my first iron on project thanks to your video

[@leannepropp5065]

Can I say that you are completely thorough. I love the fact that you dumb it down right to the point where you held up your computer turn bluetooth in the list of items needed!! I'm totally new. THANKS

[@inchristalone9071]

Lord I love you! I’ve been going through all of these videos trying to find exactly what you gave me here. I’m only on tutorial 2 and I can tell you are the goat.

[@marlsmccolgan]

I have watched a ton of videos since getting my scan n cut and have never enjoyed tutorial videos so much. I love the handy hints. I dont subscribe to channels hardly at all but you won me. Great job

[@gregmorrison8413]

So, I bought a Cricut Maker and felt excited and... extremely intimidated/overwhelmed for the first while. Not 100% sure why, but I would get annoyed by watching most other how-to videos. I believe it was your kind, patient and authentic disposition that held my attention. My friend tells me it was your handsome face, and so it must be true! Either way, thank you for offering your knowledge base. It’s very much appreciated. Excited to keep learning. 😁

[@lashundafuller5317]

I totally agree with you. I’ve felt the exact same way. The day my Maker showed up, I was so excited, but once I got it out of the box and all hooked up, I felt overwhelmed. I’ve watched so many videos and tried to grasp something simple like this, but it didn’t stick until I saw this video.💙

[@Jwls72]

I love your tape hack!! this is going to save me so aggravation preventing the decal from rolling up on me while I'm trying to peel and weed!! and for the weeding waste, I end up sticking it on my hands! Love your Crafty pants name too!!

[@llamalovesab]

I got a Cricut for Christmas and after experimenting a bit, I realized I needed the help of an expert! Your tutorials are the best ones I have seen because you explain everything so clearly and your crafts are so cute. I just made two tea towels and they turned out great! I'm going to try to do all your tutorials in order. I'm officially enrolled in Mr. Crafty Pants school!

[@emilystone1856]

This was the easiest to follow tutorial I have watched! I'm brand new to Cricut and it can be overwhelming learning how to do everything, but you made it super easy! Thank you!!

[@ericdearth4890]

This was the best, simple explanation of how to use iron on vinyl. Thank you for making just easy to understand!

[@BuiltByChris]

Hey Michael, you are a very good teacher. Yours is about the only channel that takes the time to explain everything properly. Love your work, mate. 🇦🇺👍

[@crissie1028]

Tonight I created my first personalized tote bag. You rock. I love how you take your time and walk us through this process. Thank you so much.

[@mrcraftypants]

Aww thank you Crystal!! I'm so happy this helped ya out!🤩🤩

[@michelleoconnor-salmon8985]

Cannot stop talking about your explanations, so easy to follow, thumbs up

[@brianm1800]

Just got my circut explorer air 2 and heat press ... .. i hope my first t shirt comes out good

[@mrcraftypants]

I'm sure you'll do great!!

[@whatsmynameagain7899]

The way you explained stuff was really great for a beginner like me. It was super easy to follow and easy to understand! Thank you! :))

[@mrcraftypants]

Thank you! 😊❤️

[@patti.j]

I’ve seen a lot of videos and it’s so easy to follow along with you. I love it.

[@anjanetteshadley8557]

I didn’t see when you put on transfer tape ~ can you use the regular transfer tape

[@queenrae91]

I am new to cricut and a little intimidated by this machine😂. Thank you for explaining everything so well and step by step!!

[@susieboo5566]

I’ve watch so many Cricut Beginners vídeos And was still struggling. I came across yours 2 weeks ago and I’ve Already master my skills I’ve learned so much from you... thank you! Love the way you explain everything step by step you literally make it easy to learn. 🖤🤗

[@Diamondblend]

question.. do you not have to heat it on the rear for 10-15 seconds? and what difference does that make? also. i’ve gotten by and not using parchment paper over the carrier sheet. what’s the difference on that? Thank you!

[@louisatanner4306]

Just let me say what a fine young man you are. Thank you for giving your time to help us folks learn how use iron on, on the cricut. I was ready to throw my cricut through my living room window 🤪. Sending blessings your way.

[@nailsbyhoney]

Thankyou so much for this video. I really was starting to get discouraged and wanted to get rid of all of my Cricut supplies and machines because I could never find a video that was as specific as yours thank you so much

[@amandakearney-qo8zb]

your tip about using tape is BRILLIANT!!!! i always have at least 1 tiny weeded piece that ends up back onto my transfer sheet because they're just free floating around, but i never see it until after ive ironed it and there's a random speck in the middle of my shirt!!! ugh!!! the tape is going to save my projects. also, other KZbinrs regularly suggest that you leave your design on the mat when weeding so it doesnt move. 0/10 - DO NOT RECOMMEND!!! the mats are not sticky enough for this, but they are sticky enough to be covered in lint, dog hair, etc. because you leaned on it while weeding. the tape method is the way to go. thank you so much for the helpful video!!!

[@mrcraftypants]

@amandakearney-qo8zb, I'm just happy to be able help!! 😊 I'm so glad this tip worked for you. Thank you for watching!

[@larrymcleod3544]

I made my first project following your video; it came out perfect! Your step by step was on point! Thank you so much!

[@lashundafuller5317]

This video is perfect for newbies like me. Most videos I’ve come across assume that the viewer already knows everything, but me being a new user to cutting machines, Michael made it simple to understand and got right to the point. Also, his delivery of explanation was excellent. Great for people like me who have the attention span of a 5 year old. I can’t wait to watch more of Mr. Crafty Pants.

[@JennyfromOhio]

I just completed my second project, of course watching your video over and over to make sure I had it right! Lol it turned out perfect just like the first project! Thank you for your clear, concise, adorable video! Keep up the good work you sweet man

[@mrcraftypants]

I'm so glad my videos were helpful for ya! Thank you for watching! 🤩

[@shaonnahrenee]

Just ordered my cricut and now im BINGING your channel! Love your genuine energy and how you break everything down.... thank you so much for sharing your talent with the world 😍

[@mrcraftypants]

Aww, thank you SO much!! You just made my day!! I’m SO glad my videos are helping! ❤️🥰

[@gitanad79]

Same!

[@Ericcoplin]

Yes, I just got mine up and runnig and your resourcefulness is so so handy. Thank you so much for your help and guidance!

[@homeofficeheroes9027]

Thank you so much for this video. We appreciate your detail on the angle with the tape, and about you being right handed. We did the opposite for my wife since she is left-handed.

[@terrilynkoetting3066]

One of my top three teachers for me and I subscribed so I can locate different videos easily to refresh my whatever I'm working on. Thank you Michael 😊

[@handmadebyMickie]

How cute, and helpful, are you! I just ordered a Cricut Joy and this is the first tutorial I’ve watched, excellent! Thanks!

[@Amused2bHere]

Even three years later, I'm still benefiting from this tutorial! Thanks again 🥰

[@michellewilson6137]

I just found this video and It’s fantastic I was under a time crunch for a last minute Christmas present and this was perfect

[@OpalApparition]

I just wanted to say thank you - this video was really helpful to me as a new Cricut user! I've been planning to use HTV to make book covers (on book cloth) and I think this is exactly what I needed!

[@kimhendrix4630]

THANK YOU soooooooooo much for this video!!! i got my easy press for Christmas and have been "scared" to use it. with your video and step by step, i did my first iron on and i'm sooooooo excited! thankyou again!!!

[@zanehussain]

Oh my God, I had to go through so many other videos till I found your video. THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!!! You made it so easy!

[@michelleniedzialek784]

OMG! I was literally about to just throw in the towel! I'm so happy I took the time to just search for someone to help! I'm so confused with the HTV, Iron on etc...Thank you so much!

[@rachelsmith6820]

Finally a person that explains it easily without detouring thoughts

[@kristymclaughlin7867]

I just got my cricut two weeks ago. Tomorrow because of your video I'm going to try to make something

[@kellybroderick968]

Thank you for explaining this in a way that I could just follow right along with no issues. Honestly, it's so helpful to have someone talk you through it step by step versus trying to interpret directions in the same way. Much appreciated! I was able to make my baby onesie super easily and it came out GREAT!

[@GilbertBeans]

Thank you!! I am helping a friend with a memorial shirt. She is tie dying it and asked me to add the words. I haven’t done one at all. This was so simple to follow!

[@DGIT619]

BTW I also have an old original expression that I use with the MANY cartridges I have. If you want to use HTV “just” type your wording backwards and then use the flip button. Saved me much craziness when I learned this.

[@robinwhitmarsh128]

You have definitely made this so much easier. Why I was so intimidated is crazy!!! LOL!!! I will be watching videos of yours everyday

[@tassiademetrio82]

What a wondeful video, so well explained. Thank you so much! Love all the colours on your work place.

[@latesttopviralsltv7919]

At last! I can finally use my cricut after a month in the box and this video is the only one I could find to makes it super easy and thorough! I did it along with this video. It took no time.Feeling like a pro on my first attempt. Thank you !

[@Carol-Bell]

Thank you for not just the clear instructions, but also for sticking to the subject and not adding a lot of chit chat. Without your “show and tell” demo, I would not have known there is the clear “transfer tape layer” on the vinyl. I’m in the middle (cut out, now ready to apply it) of my first iron on project.

[@theresabelmal9317]

I really learned a lot. watching your video. I never used my easy press that i received in 2022. Thank you so much

[@kimberlynmoriguchi5005]

Beginner here: I’ve watched several videos and none of them were as easy as this one - and from this video, I did 2 successful projects :) yay!

[@coralnathan4381]

Thank you. I’m a newbie and just couldn’t wrap my head around using the HTV. Your tutorial was excellent. Cheers from Australia 🇦🇺

[@amymanning5346]

This video is great. I like it because you get right to it without a lot of talking, and it is very easy to follow.

[@reneeminyard2197]

Hi! I'm brand new to Cricut. It's a bit overwhelming, but you make everything so easy to understand and follow. I am so happy I found your channel. TYSM!

[@joeguitar4548]

I am trying to learn all I can from you because you are a pro and know what you are doing.

[@aliciatomlinson9804]

This is EXACTLY the tutorial we needed! 🙌🏻 Thanks for going through the steps and making it simple to know what to do.

[@larayecobb1073]

I am ready to make my first shirt tomorrow. Thanks your tutorial was super helpful and stopped what would be a disaster I am sure.

[@Sashalee2011]

[@Celijoann84]

[@mrs.conscious]

[@mrcraftypants]

Thank you soooo much, Amanda!! You TRULY just made my day!! Iron-on vinyl can definitely be intimidating at first, but once you get the hang of it, it’s so much fun! If you have any questions please let me know! 😊❤️

[@wendybass8068]

I needed this video so much. I'm new to cricut and of course did everything backwards or upsidown. Your video was very clear and easy to follow and I finally get what I'm supposed to do. Thanks Mr. Crafty Pants!!!!!

[@mrcraftypants]

I'm so glad you stuck with it and my video was able to help! 🤩

[@melissabastian4320]

you do a great job! thank you - I think I have to watch parts of your video every time I do a craft!!!!

[@celesshizuku9612]

How you explain, it s really easy and no effort to get used to work with our cricut. Thx for those amazing videos.🥰

[@KristenCenci]

Decided to come and watch an old video in honor of your anniversary....Thanks for the tip of using painter's tape with the weeding.

[@sparrowhandmade]

Awesome video - this is the most clear video by far that I've seen, as you both explain and show in detail each step to make an iron-on transfer, in a relatively short time. Thank you!!

[@makeyourlashlifeeasier7117]

I literally have had my cricuit since 2020. Cut a design thought I did it wrong and gave up. Today I watched your video and step by step cut a new design. I also realized all I had to do was peel the transparent layer from the other 😂 and boom there’s my design ready to press. Thank you.

[@barbaragorin2235]

Total beginner here and you were so fun to watch. Thanks for a fabulous tutorial!

[@MarieOrtmanPhoto]

Love your energy. You got me through the project quickly. No long stories. Really appreciate it.

[@anabellmedina9954]

[@kathymcdavid376]

I've had my Cricut Explore for a while, but just got the Easy Press Mini. Your tutorial was SOOOO helpful! I'm experimenting with Iron On Vinyl for the first time and all your tips were exactly what I needed!! Thank you Mr Crafty Pants!!
