Thank you so much! I’m so happy it was helpful!

[@ginameredith686]

Wow thank you

[@LockBits-ts6eo]

Loved the video. I bought a used Joy and some 3rd party vinyl and worked my way through the tutorial, it was very interesting, but changing the pressure by as much as one hundred points made absolutely no visible difference at all! I wxpect that it is the cheap flimsy material I'm using, I'll have to buy some nicer stuff to play about with. Thanks again.

[@prptink]

This is great! Thanks 😊 stay blessed love 🥰

Great tip for checking the backing. I’ve never done that when doing a test cut

[@DIYAlex]

I’m glad you learned something new!

[@DIYAlex]

We missed you Rosanne!! See you next time!

@@DIYAlex I look forward to the next one. Just hope the notice comes to me on time. Thank you for the message.

[@DIYAlex]

@rosanneheller6584 I know KZbin doesn’t do a good job with notifications! I’ll try to tell you ahead of time via e-mail ☺️

[@nahnisjourney1406]

I know it’s going to be NICE!!!

I hope it's helpful!

I have the correct setting for my vinyl, which is Everyday Mosaic + More. I want to avoid having to select more each time. Does anyone know how much the number increases with adding "more?"

[@DIYAlex]

It only increases the pressure points about 4-5 points! You can customize your settings and bump your Mosiac setting up about 5 points so you don’t have to select “more” each time!

[@barbra429]

I have Joy Xtra. Stickers was die cuts and instead kiss cuts. Stickers paper is non Cricut paper

Can you please do a tutorial on how to make a football team logo in design space. I'm new to the Cricket world .

[@DIYAlex]

Hi Sonya, welcome! I'm not able to make super specific tutorials, but I do have a few resources that may be helpful! I have a Cricut Beginner's online course called Cricut Chemistry that gives an in depth tour of Cricut Design Space. It doesn't necessarily cover designing in Design Space, but once you know what features are available, you can use them to create any design you'd like! You can find more info here: diyalex.com/cricut-chemistry-2 I also have a Cricut Design Space playlist here on youtube! Many of the tutorials are older, so there may be changes between what you see here and current Design Space, but most of the features have just moved or improved since I made these videos. You can find it here: kzbin.info/aero/PLdqAY6wTCkWCxWLIpwk_TNRKfrWw-BX7S
