This is the most stressful part of using vinyl. I have ruined so many pieces when I first started. This would have been so helpful when I first started. It seems simple and like I should have known it but newbies will be so happy to know this. Braying is something that I never knew to do. It just goes to show that we all can learn something new.

[@OakAndLamb]

Thank you! You saved me!

[@lisaashby148]

Thank you, your tutorials seem very thorough. I will have find some of the StarCraft vinyl and try it. I have very little time to learn and play and it's so discouraging. Told my husband I'm close to selling it😢 . I'll try a little longer. Also, any tips on taping of wine glasses for glitter and different colors? TIA

[@priscillaonpurpose]

Wow...just wow❤

[@LeahSimone]

Is it ok to start weeding before peeling the vinyl from the backing?

[@raynebannister4159]

Aloha from Hawaii🌺🏝 Thank you for sharing your weeding technique. I had the hardest time weeding my vinyl as i kept lifting my letters up which led to messing up where it originally belonged. It took me awhile as i had 6 lines that i made to put on my late brothers urn. (ie: His name, sunrise date, sunset date, and a few words that followed) 1. I didnt cut the excess vinyl off, 2. My excess vinyl got crinkled up, hence losing the dot on the i's and apostrophe's on the s. Had i seen your amazing video prior, i probably woulnt have had those issues and i thank you very much for your well-explained tutorial. Lastly, one question: My vinyl backing sheet is shiny/slippery in the sense that my letters kept moving and sliding, is that normal?

[@lisaashby148]

Does StarCraft fall under another name by chance? I can see it through 143viny, but cannot find it through Amazon? Thanks in advance 😊

[@beckiegraham303]

I have a problem with my cricket Joy…..small letters. Lifting, not coming away from transfer tape…ugh

[@cheril.1691]

I have a weeding challenge for you girls. I made the mistake of selecting a font called Algerian for project last week. Eeeek...I usually see a project to the finish but I quickly cut it out in another font 😂

[@OakAndLamb]

Ahahahahhaah! You KNOW we love a challenge!! ❤️B

[@wendyvalerie6624]
