This has been the best and most comprehensive / instructive video on the new mug press so far- and I’ve seen most of what’s been posted. Thank you.

[@LeapofFaithCrafting]

I'm so glad it helped, thanks so much!

[@Alia-J]

You are soo good the first lady who take it slow and showed us all the steps including the machine Botton , thank you ❤

[@Valerie-yc9op]

I have to agree with Chris and Lorraine by far the BEST totorial I've seen. I just received my Mug Press and was trying to find out how to start a project and you made it possible. Thank you. thank you, thank you!

[@LeapofFaithCrafting]

Thank you, so glad it was helpful!

[@sunshinepuertorio16]

One of the best video about how to work with the Mug press! Thank you!

[@paulmenard6219]

Just bought the machine and I have to be honest... this video has made me consider returning it. If this woman (who clearly has done this a lot) can't make a couple cups without making mistakes... I'm screwed...she legit has to throw away two cups... so wasteful. I think I would be WAY worse than her... and she didn't really knock it out of the park here. This WAS a very informative video though. Very detailed and I do appreciate you keeping the mistakes... truly, I give this a huge thumbs up for your honesty.

[@ShivarAnne]

I love your tutorials! I’m just starting out using my Cricut and mug press. You explain everything so it’s simple to use! Thank you!! I will continue to learn from your expertise! ❤️

[@sharonlawson302]

This looks like a fun new project to learn.

[@imanimyers4587]

[@anniewilliams114]

Excellent learning Cricut mug press video.

[@mssurfdog]

Thank you so much for this video. It was extremely helpful

[@HFDay-qi6yc]

Thank you for sharing! I love this idea! Im making this for my niece, that's getting married in two days. I was having problems finding the same exact fonts. But, I finally found them. But, instead of using the Monday cricut font a went with a different one. I'm So excited. I hope she likes it. Thanks again!

[@LeapofFaithCrafting]

Glad it was helpful! I'm sure she'll love them!

[@juliestulz]

Great VIDEO. Thank you 😍

[@benjaminpastrana9662]

Excellent walkthrough 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@LeapofFaithCrafting]

Thank you! 👍

[@tb45405]

This was a great video. I learned a lot. I learned what I was doing wrong. Thanks

[@carolherndon1367]

Thank you for this video! Made my first mug! I still have much to learn about using my Cricut, as well, but this truly helped a lot!

[@LeapofFaithCrafting]

I'm so happy it helped! I am still learning too because there really is so much it can do!

[@rimaali5949]

Thank you so much, I found your video really helpful 😊

[@LeapofFaithCrafting]

So glad it helped!

[@marisollopez-caldwell8137]

Tyfs I just got mine for Xmas will be making my first set soon very helpful

[@LeapofFaithCrafting]

Have fun!

[@janinebrown9773]

👏 very thorough tutorial! Thanks for keeping it real and showing us your upside down mug. You can glue some flowers on the bottom and make yourself a shelf decoration 😁

[@LeapofFaithCrafting]

Great idea, thanks! Right now I use it as a pen holder, lol!

[@nancydesigns6983]

Waiting for it to come out!!

[@LeapofFaithCrafting]

You'll love it!

[@juliabresee8068]

this has been a great video.

[@rebecca8808]

Nice job 👍🏻

[@annmarieport2173]

Love the tutorial. Could I have the link for the fonts used? I would love those those same ones for the Mr. and Mrs.

[@Musicbird83]

I appreciate the tutorial! I just got done making my first mug and it came out great but I’m trying to figure out how to do it inverse so that the mug is covered with the color and the lettering is white. Still figuring it out!

[@angelaprcs1]

Use a rubber band to find your center, you will use less tape and have a center line on the cup! Cute cups!

[@arcinesmith5837]

Good idea, I was thinking that’s a lot of tape being used

[@LeapofFaithCrafting]

Great tip, thanks for sharing!

[@lauriedalessandro5103]

Awesome video. Thank you! Where did you get the crafting saying for the mug?

[@octaviabrowncraftsanddiys]

Question should I keep my mug press setup and plugged in like I do my Cricut or if I unplug it and plug it back in later will it still recognize my mug press again TFS

[@Mrsangierice]

Beautiful job! I will get my machine !, thank you 🥰, you got a subscriber, me🤩

[@jmessinis5498]

Great video. I had just gotten a mug press and before it is even sublimating it stinks so bad. Does this one smell? Thank you

[@nananjdz]

Where did you purchase your tape dispenser for the heat resistant tape? I noticed the core is a little larger than a regular scotch tape dispenser core.

[@denisem9645]

JoAnn has a great buy on the blank mugs, half off! Ink also

[@nadzikhan5130]

Sorry I’m a newbie. Can I use any cups to do thisx

[@carolinagrutzius1580]

Hi there. What cut setting you have your material set up to?

[@keshiacoleman331]

Will this mug press work with my Cameo 3?

[@griselledominguez9061]

Best tutorial by far!!! What font did you use in the mug that says "I can't. I'm crafting"? It's awesome

[@LeapofFaithCrafting]

Thank you so much! It was actually a image in Cricut Design Space!

[@rebecca8808]

On the spots I just scrape it off when still hot. Works well

[@Amy-uy2hb]

What computer do you recommend getting in order to run cricut design space?

[@kristinkuykendall2640]

I'm a newbie here...I've tried two mugs and I still get lines where my infusible ink transfer was stuck to my mug. I did a letters only one like your second example. Any suggestions on how I can ensure I don't keep having to throw out mugs? Thanks in advance.

[@stephanienicole6949]

Can i have the link to the clear beer mugs?

[@lilobennett9291]

Are you able to use the heat transferable vinyl in the mug press?

[@berninagaitan9661]

I wish I could afford one of this good looking machines. 1 day , fingers crossed. Love it, thank you for sharing!

[@LeapofFaithCrafting]

🙏

[@telisabell4709]

Try QVC. They allow you to pay monthly. It’s how I got mine. And they ship after first payment .

[@ritamasala5142]

Good Evening But all mugs can be used?

[@oceangal1000]

So when cutting font you just hit attach and not slice?

[@torresmatos1]

Can we use any mug or has to be cricut mug

[@DonaSBlackman]

Thank you for your video. I have the original cricut which I believe is not compatible with the mug press. What cricut machine would you suggest I purchase?

[@now22207]

I think you should be able to plug your Cricut cutter's usb cable into your laptop/computer, then update the firmware for it. If you haven't updated it in a while, it's good to do periodically; as Cricut often comes out with new files and features for the machines and Cricut Design Space. Hope this helps.

[@pattishelton3169]

Love the video, WHERE DID YOU GET THE TAPE DISPENSER.?

[@LeapofFaithCrafting]

Just on Amazon! It came in a two pack I believe

[@shanequa0225]

Great video, I have found that my lines tear in my circuit when too small, how did you get your small lines to not tear? And also did you just eyeball the leveling, to make sure it was not crooked, any tips on that?

[@LeapofFaithCrafting]

When the template is cut out it just wraps around so you should keep the template level with the bottom of the mug. Make sure your blade is nice and clean and also your mat needs to be nice and clean to get the small intricate cuts!!

[@corabooth8993]

how big is the decal

[@msdeedee1808]

Just picked up mine from HSN for 5 flex payments. Also picked up 4 Cricut mugs on HSN as well. Don't want to build up a mug stash yet!

[@Thiainfullbloom]

How did you get to mug design setup? I can't find it

[@yolandabranner6200]

Thank you can you tell me how can I do vinyl on the muds and use the mug press?

[@LeapofFaithCrafting]

You can't use vinyl with the mug press. Only infusible ink, infusible ink markers or other sublimation paper.

[@cheryleaston6820]

Are these mugs dishwasher safe? I know the vinyl ones are not. Great instructions on how to use this new machine

[@LeapofFaithCrafting]

YES!! That's what makes them so incredible!

[@aviscquinn1]

I love upside down!

[@LeapofFaithCrafting]

Lol! I love the color of it so I still use it to hold my pens!

[@rosalindalozano233]

Great video! The tape is not needed. 🥰

[@seemaahmed5855]

Hi Can you plz share what kind of mugs is required for this mug press? regular or sublimation?

[@now22207]

Sublimation...because they have a polymer coating for the infusible ink to adhere to.

[@MsGRINCHA]

Can you share where the font is?

[@silviamendez46]

Hello . one question is the blade different? Everything broke for me.

[@shellybrower4103]

Thanks so much for your video. I set my cricut to infusible ink, but it didn't cut out...It didn't make the cracking sound like yours did in the video. Any suggestions would be so helpful..>thanks...

[@allgenresofmusic8777]

Only the infusible ink sheets makes the cracking sound before you weed it, hope this helps you.

[@allgenresofmusic8777]

Infusible ink sheets are the ones that cracks before you weed it

[@moniquewilson650]

Can you only use mugs in this machine? or can you also use blank sublimation tumblers?

[@LeapofFaithCrafting]

I haven't tried, but they need to be straight walled to get an even press and I don't think tumblers are.

[@connieruiz7595]

Can you use Cricut Joy infusible ink for the Mug Press?

[@carmenvalentin8716]

Yes you can.

[@DonnaSimo]

Ok just watched like 20 videos and went ahead and messed it up anyway. Lol one more video :)

[@rebecca8808]

That’s me and waist paper, oh well practice makes perfect

[@elib7311]

I’ve yet to find the image above where I can set up the mug with scalloped or straight edges. Maybe this is an older version of Design Space? So frustrating.

[@irenesingco8732]

Do I need to purchase every mug design from Cricut?

[@sandybal3380]

I got my today and I have no clue on what I’m doing can you please help 🙏🏽

[@emmahershey2104]

Does anyone know if i can use this with a google pixelbook?

[@salmafirm8441]

Could you have done the Mr and Mrs mugs using an infusion marker or pen?

[@LeapofFaithCrafting]

Yes, you could! You could have CDS

[@josieguillen2019]

where did you get the tape dispenser?

[@LeapofFaithCrafting]

I didn't but I'm not selling them. The ink can scratch if something sharp hits it. Just depends on how careful with it you are. If you wrap it in tissue each year, I think they'll be fine!

[@trose5627]

Is Cricut going to fix Design Space anytime soon?

[@LeapofFaithCrafting]

There was just an update I saw yesterday so hopefully things will get better!

[@cupcakebuttercups6922]

I wonder how much they will start to charge to use this mug press...2.00 per mug lol....came out gorgeous

[@elib7311]

Thank you for showing the flawed cup-which I’d TOTALLY keep-sometimes, some of these videos, I swear, are created by an A.I. :D

[@sidinthe6ix]

Do you need the actual Cricut maker to use the mug press? Or can I just print my digital artwork directly onto a mug using just the mug press?

[@LeapofFaithCrafting]

No, you don't need a Cricut. You could use a sublimation printer or just Infusible Ink or sublimation markers!

[@rebecca8808]

Was the I supposed to be on there, I just noticed on one side.

[@rebecca8808]

Never mind someone asked 😊

[@DestinyMusgrove]

The mugs are established June 22, 2021. Today is the 21st. Just thought it was cool.

[@lindamotley6217]

Can you use other mugs beside Cricut mugs?

[@rebecca8808]

Yes as long there sublimation

[@rebecca8808]

That’s my understanding I tried it worked

[@Dabintodifferentflavours]

I needed to know that same question

[@heathergarcia2846]

I need help

[@deea8655]

No butcher paper?

[@susiebutterfield6906]

Isn't there a piece you should of weeded out?

[@LeapofFaithCrafting]

Yep, always seems like I miss something! Need to put on my glasses more!

[@caplingerp]

Great video, except for the background noise

Please comment on Cricut’s NEW (3-13-21) policy forcing users to subscribe to Cricut Access just to be able to upload more than 20 personal uploads a month. This policy makes the expensive Cricut machines I own (I own three machines) virtually useless unless I pay for their subscription. I design on other platforms because Design Space is not a space to design. Additionally, it is only available via the Internet and is not stable or efficient. The constant crashing causes me to lose my work or have saved work magically disappear. Will you still be promoting the Cricut products in light of this flagrant GREEDY and sneaky business decision?
