SVGs Made Simple 3: How to Modify & Customize SVG Cut Files in Cricut Design Space

[@christinaherman206]

You are amazing at explaining everything to successfully use the cricut. I have had the cricut maker 3 for about a month. I can’t thank you enough for all that you do.

[@JenniferMaker]

I'm so glad that you find my tutorials helpful, thank you for the kind words! ❤️

[@donnamcl6134]

Jennifer, THANK YOU SO MUCH for your informative videos. You have been a life saver! I got the Cricut without a clue of how to make anything on it. I cried a lot even after watching countless tutorials. I kind of consider myself a computer dummy but with your awesome tutorials I can say I am learning tons and making lots of fun stuff. I never expected there would be so much to learn about this little machine. I have messed up a lot and wasted a lot of money on vinyl (didn't know there were so many different kinds) but I am not giving up! Thank you again!

[@gailoleary8424]

Totally overwhelmed Will have to rewatch the videos. However I’m totally enjoying them. You re a wonderful teacher and really explain things that even i as a senior can understand. Thank you

[@jandavis1971]

I have had to watch these videos several times but finally have a basic understanding. Thank you for being such a calm and clear teacher.

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you!

[@paulineohara8]

Oh wow, this is a loaded lesson! I'll likely need to review it multiple times. You are one smart cookie!

[@JenniferMaker]

Aww thank you SO much!!

[@suemiller8578]

OMG! I got over excited watching video number 2 and I had to watch this one as soon as I could. I had no trouble getting into the Library and the password arrived very quick and while I was there. I also purchased your book that looks great fun so after cutting and making my first Cricut greetings card. I used to do a lot of crafting especially unique cards for unique people.but can no longer do it due to arthritis in my knuckles and various other pains and aches that leave me housebound unless my husband can take me in the car so I need something to fill my days when I have some ME time. I can’t wait to get started but I have worn myself out so I have to rest. Thank you for wanting to share your designs and skills with others I am very grateful x

[@JenniferMaker]

You are so welcome. I bet your cards you made were beautiful. I'm so glad the Cricut can be very helpful for you. 😊❤️

[@CapeNTiara]

The way you go step by step is so great! Thank you for doing this to help us who are so excited about Cricut and have NO IDEA lol... You are the best and a TOTAL credit to the maker community. I'm so excited to find my people.

[@JenniferMaker]

Wow! Thank you so very much!💗✨

[@kfossi1986]

Jennifer you make it all so much easier. If it wasn't for you I would have sent my cricket back but now I'm having fun. Thank you.

[@JenniferMaker]

You are so welcome! Thanks for watching!😊🌻

[@brendaowen999]

I didn't get to concentrat so much on this video, since I am at work, but listening to them is a good start. That way when I get home I can go back over them, if there is time before the Academy tonight! You always explain everything in detail, every step of the way. Thank you for that.

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you so much!! 💕

[@robianddeni]

I love the way you teach, but I was overwhelmed. I will be watching this video a few times. Thanks

[@JenniferMaker]

You can do it!

[@kerrybaker4385]

Wow I nearly cried with relief from watching this as found the solution to changing an SVG which I thought I would have to attempt to re create ! to get the correct settings for what I need. Your videos have been my learning journey for this and would be so lost without them. Thank you for dedicating so much time to do them all. So grateful. 😀🦋

[@JenniferMaker]

Glad it helped! ❤️

[@cathyfalk8751]

Jennifer - you gave an excellent example for the difference between grouping and attaching. Thank you for sharing!

[@JenniferMaker]

Glad it was helpful, Cathy! 😊

[@syljihomom]

Best tutorial! You explained so well that I can follow the steps with no problem. thank you so much!!

[@JenniferMaker]

Yay! I'm glad you found it helpful🥰

[@jayep3373]

You're so welcome!

[@debbievanhoecke3727]

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you for watching! 💗

[@brendanathaniel3335]

Thank you Jennifer for your amazing tutorials. The svg videos helped me a lot.

[@JenniferMaker]

I'm so glad!

[@carolmillett4677]

Jennifer I have watched all 3 videos on svg files .Watching you show how to do this was great for me because I can learn by watching than reading.Thank you .Before I found your video I was very frustrated now I feel I can do it.Thank You again. Carol

[@JenniferMaker]

So happy to hear that! You CAN do it! Just keep trying and don't give up! :)

[@denisebendickson8593]

I love it to Carol i am a visual learner and learn better watching then reading too

[@joannegogue]

I got my Cricut Maker for Christmas and started trying to learn using Design Space. It has not been as intuitive as I would have hoped so finding your KZbin tutorials has helped so much! I have watched about 4 so far and you have such a great way of explaining things that have taken some of the challenges out of the learning curve. Thanks so much!

[@JenniferMaker]

Wonderful! I'm so glad you're here crafting with us!

[@debicarson8873]

This video got me super excited! Changing the owl's eyes blew me away...I'm ready to play with my new Cricut. I'll be joining your Facebook group as well. Cannot wait to learn more about all that can be done!

Awesome, thank you!

[@JenniferMaker]

YAY! Happy you learned that!

[@corrinem1204]

The way I look at attaching is just like if I stapled all my papers together. Thanks Jennifer for all your help I always learn something from you. You are awesome!!!

[@cindystrick1]

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! I just watched your 3 videos on SVGs and was able to download and upload an SVG in Design Space ! I was even able to show my husband how we could modify the design to make it personal! Now I just have to figure out how to cut it out in multiple layers for t-shirts.

[@JenniferMaker]

Glad I could help, Cindy! Will this tutorial add any knowledge as far as layering? 🥰 jennifermaker.com/layer-iron-on-vinyl-shirt/

[@trishajohnstone429]

I had no idea how to use the cricut design space and learned so much from this video. Thanks so much!

[@JenniferMaker]

[@michelleasanderson8792]

Oh my goodness! SVG's made simple in Design Space. Thank you!!! Your teaching style is so wonderful. Thank you, thank you, thank you! I get it! :)

[@JenniferMaker]

You're very welcome!

[@pbrock53]

Thank you Jennifer! Thank you for going slowly, explaining and just taking your time. You’re a GREAT teacher! I enjoy your videos so much.

[@JenniferMaker]

You are so welcome!

[@mamarose5]

Love the way you changed the eyes. Now they really look more natural because from what I can see they look like eyes with eyelids. This has been a fantastic series & I learned so much. You are an awesome teacher. Thank you

[@char1364]

Thank you! I am a beginner and find your tutorials extremely helpful!

[@swest4520]

Thank you so much for the tutorials. They are so easy to follow. I was beginning to think it would be easier to train as a rocket scientist but not now. Thank you

So I’m leaving it here. I have only recently found you on KZbin and I am so glad I did. I love your videos and you are so generous with your knowledge and time. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@pmynatt1]

Love watching your videos. You make it so easy to follow your instructions. You get right to the point, know where you are going and what you are planning on showing us. I get so confused watching some other people’s videos, because they are going from one thing to another, and not staying on tract.

[@papernlace8943]

Thank you Jennifer, I’m a new subscribers and a new Cricut Maker owner and have been binge watching your videos for the last 3 days. You are instructive and entertaining. Again thank and keep up the good work. 😝😆

Thank you Nedra! SO glad you enjoy them! I do enjoy creating them as well!

[@annewatman677]

I hope there’s more on this. You have me so excited about creating my own SVG files. This is exactly why I wanted a Cricut. I’m in your Facebook group, but I’m also in another one, and so many people recommend you!

[@mrsmomstheword1]

Thank you so much for making SVG's finally make sense! I kept hearing people talk about them, but did not know what they were. After watching all 3 of your tutorials, I now know. I just need to start finding and using them. This is a unlikely benefit of COVID 19 self isolating, the time to learn my Cricut Craftroom and Scrapbook!

[@JenniferMaker]

Glad I could help! This is a great time to craft. :)

[@helenwarburton8536]

Thank you for your tutorials - on reading a lot of on line comments the stages of buying a cricut maker are , pure joy at the purchase, pure joy at opening the box and taking it out, apprehension at connecting it - over whelmed to use it. I am now on the next stage enthused to start playing around with it. Keep up the good work.

[@JenniferMaker]

Haha, Helen, you hit the nail right on the head with those stages! :) It is such fun to make tutorials that people find useful, especially when they take their time to let me know like you did! Thanks and Happy Crafting! :)

[@lindacrandall613]

I am a super newbie to the Cricut Maker. I bought it so I could cut fabric accurately for quilting, but since finding you I hope to learn many other things to do with my machine. I would be interested in your design course for SVGs that you mentioned in this video. The only thing I have done so far is the introductory project that came with the machine and fabric smile faces. So - I need lots of help!

Just take everything one step at a time! You've got this! :)

[@baskets005]

Thank you for all the help

[@createinspain]

As someone who does a lot of SVG designing (and I give the file links for free) I agree that it is a good idea to know how to use your software to the best of its capacity. My iPad gets a lot of use! Concepts is a great vector app if you like to draw your own freehand designs - they can be exported as SVGs (or other formats for tracing); Each line remains fully editable. Procreate is great too but you need to trace the results. I don't have a Cricut, I use Sure Cuts a Lot if I want to design from shapes, I have a Silver Bullet Platinum to actually do the cutting. I always think it a waste to have a cutter and not know how to use the software with it, you miss out on so much!

[@glendahaynes3039]

You are so smart thank you so much,

[@JenniferMaker]

Happy to help 😃

[@pattymiller2993]

Thank you for your videos. Each time I watch them I learn something new. One issue we have with svg s we find on line is once uploaded some have jagged edges. Anyway to get rid of them? Hubby is using a knife! Lol

[@JenniferMaker]

Are you quite sure you are getting the SVG, Patty? SVGs won't have jagged lines! Are you a member of our Facebook group? It is full of experienced and creative crafters who love to help others with their problems and projects, and this is something they would be able to help you figure out! You can reach them here: 😍 facebook.com/groups/cricutcraftersandmakers/

[@pattymiller2993]

Jennifer Maker They do say SVG. I’ll check out your Facebook page. Thank you for getting back to me!

[@jenniferhovermale8488]

Hi Jennifer! I used to know how to do this, but then I had heard Cricut changed some things. So I very much appreciate this refresher!! I know Illustrator is expensive, but what about Inkscape? How much is that? You're a wonderful teacher with such a soothing voice! Thank you SO VERY MUCH!
