Jennifer - I have NEVER actually commented on a how to video. I keep coming back to your video's as I am learning how to use my Cricut and various materials/techniques...blah, blah, blah. Your knowledge is amazing, your delivery is organized, your content is valid and the entire presentation isn't consistently infused with sales. I appreciate you!

This was extremely helpful for a stressed out bride trying to learn the Cricut while planning a wedding. I will be making tote bags for the bridal party. I liked that the video was short and I could put my vinyl on on the correct side. I am using gold Cricut Everyday vinyl on black tote bags. Your videos are the best!

I finally got my Cricut moved so that I don't have to weave between 5 different things & try not to knock anything over!!! I haven't even used my Cricut at all since 3-4 years ago. I have to have a wedding card done by Saturday. Wish me luck!!! 😳😒

Hi Jennifer love everything you do. My question is what blade do you use to cut iron on vinyl? Thank you

[@JenniferMaker]

It is cut with the standard blade that comes with your Cricut the fine point blade.

[@tomib6186]

I’m very new to this process. Have only tested my scan and cut on a small project. I read the notes below and saw the phrase “mirrored” design. Am I right in deducing that the matte side of the product goes onto the project then? That is the side that contains the adhesive ? So if I cut a name e.g., I cut it out in a mirror image of what I want it to read. Although the software is a little different I find the techniques you demonstrate are applicable to my Brother Scan and Cut. And I love watching your videos.....so upbeat and easy to follow. Thanx.

That's a great tip! I agree, it's hard to tell it would be nice if it were marked! :)
