Cricut needs to fix this! It should not take this much effort! 😅 Thanks for this tutorial. What I dont get is how I can download a design. And it writes that just fine!! Fills it in just perfect……. Cricut do what she wanna do……she still my bestie though…..🤣

[@KatherineLord-w1z]

you make this so simple and straightforward! Thank you!

[@dottidd]

Cricut has been around for a long time and this problem needs to be fixed for sure.

[@trollenz]

For someone used to 3D printing, gcode, toolpaths and stuff this is the most basic thing, i can't believe cricut haven't implement an automated way and makes you go through that complex process of adding manually the lines... Insane... Thanks for the tips though, but I think I'll reconsider my choice of a machine.

[@CricutTime]

I definitely understand what you mean! When I first went to solve this problem I was surprised that there wasn't an easy button to just click on!

[@blessedmomma85]

Thank you so very much for helping with this. Both my boys are having a difficult time with multiple table. I know I could buy the cards but I'm learning what all I can do with my cricut and explorer why wouldn't I want to make them myself? Lol thanknyou for blessing me with this tutorial!

[@CricutTime]

Glad I could help!

Thank you for your help! And your no nonsense let's get started video.

You are an excellent teacher! Thank you for teaching this!

[@CricutTime]

Thanks!

[@largemarge5944]

I have to try this! I am trying to learn all of the things my Maker can do & this has been something I wondered about.

[@CricutTime]

Glad I could help!

[@NightWrencher]

I was helping my wife try to figure this out and I was like, "There's probably a setting that we can't find, let me look online." Nope, no built in setting, requires work around. Thank you for the video!

[@sabrinadavis9407]

After I weld the lines disappear and it won’t let me splice?! I’m so confused 😅

[@nlangley181]

Good video thanks. I can't find the same fill lines. I just spent money on the wrong ones. Can you tell me how to find the fill lines you used in this video?

[@shonaghferry7758]

Please help it still won’t let me slice when just two layers are selected

[@whitney24100]

Did you weld your font together?

[@alicebair1811]

Excellent instructions! Thanks so much!❤

[@CricutTime]

Thanks for watching!

[@angelicajacobs584]

OMG THANK YOU !!! I have tried to colour in and it never comes out nicely. Thank you!!!

[@berdierathman8820]

I will definitely try this. Thank you

[@CricutTime]

Glad I could help!

[@beckykearns1296]

This is the best video I've seen on this by far! Thank you! I have a Cricut Joy - I'm assuming this would work on this as well?

[@CricutTime]

Yes, it'll be exactly the same :)

[@ralphtravis1960]

After I made the 'solid' layer, I placed it over top of the outline layer. Then highlighted both layers, selected Align and Center.

[@shypanda945]

? I’m new to this, but what would that do/be the purpose of that?

[@liesbeth9810]

@@shypanda945that way the both layers (the outline and the fill lines) are perfectly aligned over each other instead of trying to put them manually over each other like done is this video 😊

[@dthomascful]

Brilliant!

[@Fandegandalf]

Hi! First, thank you so much for your tutorial! ❤️ It's very clear! I have a question : I thought that Cricut had a calligraphy pen for that, or am I wrong?

[@Katherine-lr2oi]

I have followed your instructions step by step, yet it won't let me "splice" anything? HELP PLEASE! I am beyond confused! Thanks

[@TheRealMsBlu]

Make sure both image or word is welded. Then make sure the fill line image is welded. Once both are welded, you should be able to select both and slice.

[@Katherine-lr2oi]

@@TheRealMsBlu it worked! Thank you

[@TheRealMsBlu]

@@Katherine-lr2oi You're welcome!

[@G0tenk0enig]

Thank you so much!

[@CricutTime]

Glad it helped!

[@amyward7718]

thank you...i think i am still finding files on etsy where the lines are too far apart or something because it is not filling in correctly :(

[@elfen12]

dankeschön du hast mir sehr geholfen❤ ich bekomme nur die Linien nicht enger zusammen bei der SVG Datei,was mache ich falsch?

[@CricutTime]

Thanks! You can try selecting all of your lines, unlock their size, and then make the width smaller. This will decrease the spacing between the lines. Good luck!

[@cordeliadaniels]

Yeah it works but I don't recommend using gel pens. Ink just runs all over the place. Cool hack though 😊

[@mariacacioppo6622]

Not working for me. After weld, it won’t let me slice 😢 maybe it’s because I’m not trying to fill in a word? I’m trying to fill in a border around the banner pieces

[@Loveyyplays]

No matter what I do I can’t get it to show me splice

[@ZariahsCreations]

While your tutorial is great!!! It would not give me the slice function once I welded the lines. I tried multiple times. 🙃 Hopefully Cricut is watching and will work to fix this.

[@sharonphillips8366]

Love your tutorial!!!! I'm having the same issue. Wouldn't give me the option for the slice function after I welded & put my fonts on top of the lines. Help!!! What am I doing wrong?

[@caroldesmond4366]

I'm glad I'm not the only one with this issue. @@sharonphillips8366

[@caroldesmond4366]

@@sharonphillips8366 I just found out how to do this. I had to weld my lines first before I put my font on top of it. Once I welded the fill lines, put my wording on top of it, selected both layers, slice was available. You don't weld the font to the fill lines.

[@CarpeUniversum]

Sure am glad i didn't have any intention of using this thing to color stuff.. I'd be doing a return. Not having this built in is... rudimentary. Not adding it by now is outright pathetic.
