Michael don’t be so hard on yourself! True Crafters don’t expect perfection! Thanks for being YOU...amazingly wonderful!

[@pattycak8333]

I loved you kept the part where the transfer tape slipped out of your hand and showed us how to fix it.

[@rosanneheller6584]

I also want to say: A truly remarkable teacher is human. Having an oops moment is very helpful. You are truly remarkable!

[@nicoledavis9980]

That slip of the decal was probably a blessing in disguise because you taught everyone how to salvage the project. It happens, don't stress!

[@cindifairchild1846]

Thank you for showing the “noooooooo” moment so we know how to fix it when it happens to us. Love the medium tack transfer tape and the Starcraft vinyl. Both are game changers for me, thanks to you.

[@karynlattimore-el4748]

Love how you showed the steps to save.

[@SuperDianaD]

I don't have a Joy, but all the tips and tricks come in handy. SO nice to see a pro have a boo-boo and actually show it, without editing it out. I find it interesting that the vinyl doesn't shift around while cutting, without a sticky mat. You ROCK Michael. Love the tray, but love it even more with the wording.

[@rennieneasey-oconnell7495]

What a great tutorial! And I think it’s great that you showed us how to ‘rescue’ a potential disaster, instead of editing it out! I’m subscribing!

[@conniereeves2711]

Being a new maker, I have watched a ton of videos. I have never found any one who explains their actions so well. You are a marvelous teacher. Most just talk atvwarp speed and say "click this, click that." So glad I found you. ❤

[@marinas2605]

Michael is the BEST!!

[@thecrazysnakelady4714]

This has been the best tutorial that I have watched. I'm gonna give this a try. Thank you.

[@splifsis25]

Best video ever you showed us real life crafting. We all mess up. Thanks for showing this

[@terrys4179]

Love the idea with the parchment paper!

[@leeyadrick4469]

I agree with the last comment! Thanks for showing how to salvage a product like that!

[@jasimeng9695]

Very handy tip for the joy....love ur videos

[@milliemendez3685]

I'm new to the cricut world. I just bought the cricut joy and cant wait to use it. I'm binging all of your videos before I start playing with my joy. I just downloaded the app on my phone. Wish me luck!!!

[@debbiemesser202]

I am glad you kept on going and let us see that even you have mishaps and showed us how to recover.

[@sharonwood2248]

So cool that you showed us how to fix the slip. Thank you

[@shirllundstrom4176]

The parchment paper trick is awesome!

[@starbrown1219]

I also love how you showed when the design went out of your hand. It shows we can all have mishaps working with vinyl. Great video.

[@mindyfox2000]

I'm convinced. Use the parchment-transfer technique! Works beautifully! Thanks Michael!

[@kathyshorter8150]

I've had my Joy Bundle for about a year and haven't used it I always use my Maker. We're going to the beach for a week and I made my husband pack it in the car to take so I can practice with it. Thank you for giving me motivation to learn to use it also.

[@jamainebrasseaux1183]

Love the “leave a quarter inch uncovered” hint.

[@jamiebianco]

Super cute! Love how you embellished a store bought tray! Excellent tutorials! Thank you!

[@tiffanyreed55]

Loved it! That Noooo! Is a daily occurrence when I'm crafting. It's beautiful. That tray is everything.

[@pudlajello]

Just found you! just purchased my cricut Joy and Im so excited !

[@denisewright6095]

I learned so much. Did not know you could use any vinyl besides smart vinyl. Will save me a bunch of money. Thanks for the great videos.

[@mrcraftypants]

The StarCraft HD is amazing! 😊❤️

[@MacT4972]

Faux pas happen. Thank you for showing how to correct them; that was very helpful, Michael!

[@Cangirlinaus]

Thank you! In 25 minutes you have answered every question I had floating around I my brain stopping me from starting a project! Btw - you videos are not only helpful and kind but beautifully designed. Your computer based tutorials are very professional looking! Now to find more of you videos!! 🤩🤩🤩

[@brendaramirez8788]

Thank you soooo much ! I just bought my daughter a lemonade stand, can't wait to add this vinyl to the front sign!!

[@mrcraftypants]

That’ll be so cute!!

[@wandadavis2468]

I just got a Cricut Joy for Christmas! So excited and glad I found you to help me. Thankful you had that mishap because it showed me what to do if it happens to me!

[@JewelrybyJeanette]

It turned out great! I'm glad you left the mistake in. We all make them, and it was helpful to see how you trouble-shoot when things go wrong. Maybe if you slid the parchment paper out a little at a time while burnishing , it would prevent that type of mishap. Thanks so much for the tutorial!

[@dnparker362]

Thank you for showing us your mess up. I honestly love this 100% Love seeing that we all mess up or have accidents and it’s ok

[@veronicaroddy2806]

Thank you so much. I’ve tried my joy for the first time and the struggle is real. This helped immensely.

[@cynthiamartinez8650]

Love your tricks and ideas

[@colleencraig5291]

Thank you so much for the amazing demo. You have a great way of teaching.

[@Zarim721]

Cricut newbie here and I am learning so much from you!! I started with the Cricut Joy due to limited space and love your Joy videos.

[@tbell4750]

OMG. I didn’t know that I could use something cheaper than smart vinyl. Ty,Ty,Ty‼️

[@rochellewayne6444]

I have a Cricut Joy. I did a small chalkboard. But this is awesome. I can't wait to try it.

[@pattishelton3169]

Parchment paper, wow! This is a great tip. Thanks.

[@donnaweir7745]

Thank you. This was very informative and the oops was so real.

[@sirrahinct471]

Thank you Michael, great video as usual. I had to call 143 vinyl last week regarding an error on my order. I ordered a white garden flag which Is polyester to sublimate on as my youngest granddaughter is graduating this year and wanted to make either something for graduation or the college she will be attending. What I got instead was an Easter garden flag with a white bunny silhouette on it. They told me to keep it and they would send another to replace it. I mentioned you to the person I spoke to (she knew who you were.) informing her that you highly recommended the Starcraft and because of you I am now a customer and buying the Starcraft vinyl, HTV softfex , and the transfer vinyl among other things. I made a couple of orders and make sure I spend over 50.00 to get the free shipping. I also use you link . Thank you for all you do ❤️

[@doribergman2573]

I agree that it was a great video. And, the thing that I have come to admire most about Michael is his integrity. I know that he wouldn't recommend something that he doesn't really believe in.

[@mrcraftypants]

This makes me so happy to hear, Gloria! This is exactly why I love 143Vinyl so much! ❤️

[@marywardach3856]

Missed the live but came as soon as I could!! Omg!! What a beautiful tray!! I love it!! I have had that same " NO" moment more than once but it's always worked out.. Not perfect but very close to perfect!! Thank you Michael for this video and for being" not perfect" like the rest of us!!

[@lizbeebe9649]

Thanks for sharing and helping how to save your project! I just got a JOY and I can use all the help!!!!
