T-Shirt Ruler Guide for Perfect Vinyl & Sublimation Placement | Free Rulers + Directions!

[@Somebody_took_my_name]

I didn’t have the acetate on my explore 2, I only had the FOIL ACETATE, so I had previously left a comment abt what I needed to do, but I waited 2days (almost exactly) and never got a response from anyone. So, for those of u who have had my same problem with the materials not matching up… I did find a cutting mat protector setting… I went in and adjusted my pressure cut (idk what it’s called) to 300 and set it at 2x (I really Dnt know much abt my machine but we learn as we go🤷🏽‍♀️🤣) ALSO I set the pressure from default to more and this worked PERFECTLY!! I wasn’t sure if it wrkd at first bt I applied a little more pressure when I went to ck that it went thru and it popped thru at the corner so I didn’t hVe to guess any more!!! I figured it out!😁🤷🏽‍♀️🤣❤️ I used the 2pk cutting mats from the Dollar Tree and I didn’t feel a diff in either side lol. So I jst n put it on the mat and got to work lol Also on a side not: when I say I adjusted to pressure cut to 300… when u go into browse materials and u see settings (I believe is what the word is) click that and u can go in and adjust ur machine… Jennifer has a video (prob more than one lol) on her page explaining it for those of you who don’t know what I’m talking abt. I’m still new and learning, but Jennifer has helped me learn sooo many things! I’m thankful I found her and thankful that she’s kind enough to share her videos and teach us all kinds of neat things! So, Ms.Jennifer, THANK YOU! I appreciate you so much!💯❤️ @jennifermaker

[@JenniferMaker]

Thanks so much! 😃❤️

[@imadish5356]

Thank you for your kindness and generosity. I might even try shirts again -they just might come out right with your rulers and technique!

[@JenniferMaker]

You definitely should try them out again, I bet they'll turn out great! 😊🌻

[@marydonnell5178]

I have to say that if it wasn't for you and your video's I would never have done as much as I have with my cricut. I was fortunate to find you when I first got my cricut and I have learned so much. Thank you Jennifer for all your instruction. Mary 💙

[@JenniferMaker]

I'm so happy you're here crafting with us Mary! 😊🌻

[@lindalowery6153]

These T- Shirt guides will be so much more useful than the 3 fingers or 2 fingers, etc! Thank you so much!

[@JenniferMaker]

Glad you like them! 😊🌻

[@sylviabiggs6632]

Jennifer, I am 72 years old and a little slow with the computer and other technology so please be patient with me. I am determined to learn as much as I can. I bought a new lap top and I am trying to learn also how to work the software on this computer while learning to work with my new cricut machine. Thank you so very much for your help and may God continue to bless you for helping so many people.

[@JenniferMaker]

Thank you for watching and learning! You've got this! 💗

[@tammy5590]

You can always laminate the cardstock ones to keep them longer.

[@annebond8237]

That’s an EXCELLENT idea, Thank You!!

[@JenniferMaker]

You could definitely laminate them! 😊🌻

[@grandmacricut6405]

@@JenniferMaker Once laminated would you cut it out by hand or could you cut it out with the cricut?

[@DisMindy5767]

@@grandmacricut6405 I would make the heavyweight cardstock one normally on the cricut with pens, then run it through the laminator and trim the edges flush with scissors or xacto knife. By the way, I noticed your screen name. I named my old original cartridge machine Grandma Cricut and applied the name to the front of the machine and added a Cricut Character with readers.

[@mickeydinges8191]

I ran a lamination pouch through the laminator, and then printed the ruler on sublimation printer. Then I just heat pressed it to the laminated pouch and cut out the rulers. Now I have a nice, sturdy transparent set of rulers. Having it see through is really helpful for me

[@JenniferMaker]

[@emmym563]

This is SUCH amazing timing, I really needed one of these TODAY cause I need to finish making a custom onesie for my cousins new baby before I leave to visit them tomorrow morning. I messed up on my first try- the baby's name is Arrow, so I picked a cute little arrow design with hearts, but didn't notice til after I had ironed on the HTV that it wasn't centered. This morning I bought another onesie to try again. I happened to be scrolling through KZbin just now and the algorithm somehow showed me this video at exactly the perfect time. Thank you Jennifer! 💘

[@JenniferMaker]

YAY! So happy you're putting them to use! 😊🌻

[@fshnfool45]

Ha! I just bought some on Prime day in July, but I haven't had a chance to use them yet. So glad you made this video because I had no idea how to use them. Thank you. You really are a great teacher!😊

[@lindalaney2642]

Thank you Jennifer for this amazing gift. I quickly downloaded the svg files and made all 7 of the t-shirt templates

[@lindalaney2642]

I used 3 sheets of 12 x 12 Craft Plastic from "Grafix", using my Cricut Maker. Used the Transparency setting, more pressure. I mirrored the image and etched with cutting tool 41 and cut with my Black Cricut cutting Blade. I had to run the cut twice and got amazing results.

Hello Jennifer. Thank your for sharing. I personally like the designs to be a little higher than where you place them. Especially if it’s a bigger design. I have looked at other shirts with pre-printed designs and they are also higher or closer to the neck line

Thank you for all your great videos, without them I would be lost and probably putting this machine back in the basement.
