A beginner to cricut, i just hit a jackpot seeing your video. please make the video speed a bit lesser, its too quick for me to understand. thank you. this video is hugely help

[@Cricuter]

I'm so glad you found me and that the video was helpful for you! I need to make a new version of this since they've changed the software a good amount since then. I'll be sure to go slower in the new one!

[@koaladeesresinart]

Omg this has been the best easiest and most informative video I've seen. I learnt so much thank you thank you. Straight to the point!! 🙏

[@Cricuter]

I'm so glad to hear that! Thanks for watching and the nice comment!

[@TamiT3]

Holy cow!!! I've been using design space for years and had no clue how to find old fonts!!! I can open more than one screen? Wow!! I'm blown away, thank you!! You made my life easier!

[@Cricuter]

I'm glad I was able to teach you a thing or 2 😊 subscribe for more cricut tips & tutorials!

[@duvertwid]

I loved every single hack because I’m new to the cricut world and I finally have the intel on all the extra buttons I didn’t know how to use yet. My favorite tip was how to cut an image into the shape you need it to be without using the slicing button. That will save me a ton. Second favorite was the color sync. Really good info! Thank you so much! Definitely subscribing

[@Cricuter]

That is awesome! I'm glad it was informative and thanks for the follow!

[@stormshandmadekreations]

You've just made my CRICUT LIFE so much easier : ). I've been using my cricut for 5 years now, and had no idea I could do a lot of those things. Thank you so much for sharing those amazing tips.

[@Cricuter]

Glad I could help! Thanks for watching!

Thanks so much love your tips.

Glad you like them! ❤

[@carolynneff4980]

Before moving objects from one mat to another - move them to the location where you want them on the second mat then move them. This prevents stacking on the final mat. For instance if you want to move the blue items to the bottom of the pink mat, before moving relocated the blue items to the bottom on the blue mat then highlight and click move. The blue items will be moved to the bottom of the pink mat instead of to the top of the pink mat. I find it easier to see them instead of having to relocate them when they’re stacked on top of the pink designs.

[@Cricuter]

Thank you for sharing that! I never knew that tip!

[@gloriahenao4865]

That is great thank you

[@Cricuter]

You are so welcome! Glad it was helpful!

[@theresaforte2202]

Such an awesome video! 👏🏾 A wealth of information! I learned a lot today! One hack I discovered when wanting to move a design to a different mat, is to place the design where you want it to be on its original mat. Then click move and it’ll appear on the new mat exactly where you want it to cut! Vs how before it would place the design at the top of the page on top of the original design in that mat!

[@Cricuter]

Thanks for sharing!! I'll definitely be using that tip in the future!

Thanks so much 😊

[@leslieeaton662]

Thank you!! I have been fiddling with Design Space to make some 1/2" x 1/2" stickers with a Texas flag. The blue always printed very faded. I was ready to re-build my graphic in Photoshop when I found your video. Changing the print setting to photo (my older HP printer calls it "fine") did the trick. I now have 140 small stickers with a blue that is the proper intensity instead of washed out. You have saved me hours of work rebuilding my files to print with intense colours

[@Cricuter]

That's great I'm so glad it worked!!

I just found you and truly enjoyed this video. It was so helpful. However, I am trying to find something you talked about. It had to do with the fonts and what to do if you choose a font that might be hard to cut. Could you remind me what you said?? (I DID subscribe and clicked the bell! :) )

[@Cricuter]

Hello! I'm so glad you found me here on KZbin and that my video was helpful for you. Is this the tip you're searching for? How to make fonts thicker? kzbin.infoFLZDG1_yNsI?feature=share

Best comment ever 😍 thank you so much!!

[@Savedbygrace04]

Thank you so much for these tips! I don’t use my cricut often but I just recently went in to make a shirt with multiple colors. When I went in to attach my design, my entire design changed to one color. That was not always the case. Any idea as to when this changed?

[@Cricuter]

I'm not sure, I'm sorry!

[@Savedbygrace04]

@@Cricuter thank you! I rarely use my cricut and tried calling their customer service on this issue but the person assisting me wasn’t much help.

[@Cricuter]

@@Savedbygrace04 I think on my computer if I attach print then cut images it doesn't change the color but if I attach cut images it makes them all the same.

[@olwethumaseti8666]

Thank you for sharing. My design space does not show three lines next to 'canvas' icon on the tool bar. Instead it shows 'home' icon and I cannot access other features (under those 'three lines') such as 'calibration' because of this settings. What may be the problem?

[@Cricuter]

Cricut Design Space did an update shortly after I made this video (so annoying!). When you're on the canvas look in the upper right side. You'll see 3 dots that will bring you to File>New Window or View>Reload. If you click the down arrow next to your name and then click settings you'll find all the other things you're looking for. Click the machine tab to find calibration. Click the canvas tab to adjust the gridlines. Hope that helps!

[@cindyabbott780]

I have been hearing chatter about how to upload more than one SVG at a time, but I can't seem to figure it out. Do you have any information about this? Possibly a KZbin video? Thank you so much! Cindy

[@Cricuter]

I've never heard of this, but that would be a great update!

[@debbiebea56]

? Can you still use the cricket to make stickers? That’s why I bought it but I haven’t figured it out. I seen tips and tricks how to but I don’t know if they changed it or what will be upset if they did oh well

[@Cricuter]

You can use the Cricut to make stickers on every machine except for the Cricut Joy. I have several videos on my channel showing how to make stickers

[@cleocleo9374]

Hi, what sticker paper do you recommend?

[@Cricuter]

[@normazaharioudakis115]

I only have a sublimation printer is there a way I can make stickers or do I need a new printer

[@Cricuter]

You need an inkjet printer. Sublimation ink prints all faded until it's heated up

My design space doesn't have the hamburger lines at the top left hand corner can you yell me why please

[@Cricuter]

One helpful but equally frustrating thing about Design Space is that they're ALWAYS doing updates. I spent days making this Design Space tutorial and then the next day they did an update and everything changed. Most of those buttons you're looking for are now in the top right corner. You'll see 3 dots > File > New Window and View > Reload. If you click on your name you'll find the settings tab. This is where you can adjust your canvas. I hope that helps. Let me know if you have any other questions!
