[@brendamalcolm2115]

Great tutorial. As a beginner I have watched so many instructional videos and yours was the easiest to follow and understand. Thank you!

[@amyordway7083]

My cousin and I watched several videos trying to see how to do text. This was the first one that actually helped us start and finish our project!! Thank you so much!!

[@joanleak3705]

This was such a helpful tutorial. I am a new Cricut user and other videos just don't show what you need to know. You are a blessing to new Cricut users.....Thanks!

[@WILSONMOM20001]

New cricut owner. I didn't know where or how to start. Your video is the FIRST information I have come across that breaks it down in a way I could understand. I will watch some of your other videos. I am feeling SO MUCH better.

[@cathycochefski3839]

Totally agree!

[@gma2syd893]

Absolutely agree. I was very intimated by Design Space but Lorrie you are the best at explaining and showing each item clearly. Thank you so much. I now feel like I can be the boss!

[@chantelthompson8939]

Beth Wilson , hi! I wanted to know how are you coming along with your Cricut. I see your post from 11 months ago when you were a newbie😊. I’m a newbie and right now me and my Cricut are at odds😁.

[@sueallen4556]

Agree 100%. Easy to follow step by step.

[@christyhallmark3977]

Wow! You just saved my family from a "monster". I was becoming so irritated with the French script font because I couldn't get it to fit together smoothly. Then when I thought I had it figured out, it cut each letter like you stated in the tutorial. You have explained more to me in 27 minutes than I tried to learn from doing it all myself and other videos. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH! (My family thanks you too LOL)

[@MysteStorm]

Sounds like me.

[@joybalsamo7040]

This was a most helpful tutorial...was becoming frustrated as a new Cricut user, and your detailed explanations really helped. Thank you.

[@LorrieNunemaker]

Joy Balsamo they moved them in an update to the menu bar on top under line type

[@oceanwaveswithmusic4235]

My sentiments exactly!

[@itstiffanyrachel]

Absolutely! Thank God I’m familiar with grouping and light graphic design. I don’t know why design space is so intimidating to me. Gotta learn it to create tumblers.

[@jamilanwokorie8274]

Couldn’t agree more! I was on the verge of giving up on the machine but this was SUPER helpful!!! Thank you thank you!

[@crystaljohnson8397]

@@LorrieNunemaker I need some help in setting up everything some stuff that you talk about is not on my laptop? Please help

[@rosac8168]

My lord !! lorrie you need to be a cricut manual designer thank you so much for the ease and patience of which you teach us . There is no other ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾

[@faerielady5744]

BLESS YOU for this wonderful video, Lorrie. I am a newbie who was trying to learn text etc and your video is wonderful. I am ready to make my first cut now. I have been watching some of the other videos you have and I love the way you take it step by step without flying around with the cursor so fast that one could not keep up. And also, not having blaring music in the background. Thanks for taking the time to unselfishly share your knowledge.

[@t.harrison5688]

I'm feeling so much better about using my cricut now. I was really lost. Thank you for explaining in great detail.

[@letabrandeberry2936]

This was extremely helpful. This is the only tutorial I have seen that teaches you text in design space. Thank you so much and I hope you do more of these. Especially helpful to us beginners

[@joannestarrs2668]

Omg I’ve been trying to figure all this out for over a year you just made it seem so easy thankyou

[@likegrammashands2802]

Thank you so much Lorrie. I appreciate your attention to detail and thorough explanation. So many YT channels go through it so quickly you cannot follow along on your machine. I am a newbie and still learning. You did a fabulous job.

[@melissalopez2202]

Thank you, Lorrie! This was, hands-down, the most helpful I have viewed. You answered my frustrations and questions almost exactly in the order they occurred.

[@JackieBarton1]

I just bought a Cricut Maker and didn't know where to start with the text. You have given us such a fantastic tutorial thank you so much. I am so grateful I found your channel and for all your hard work bless you so much Lorrie 😊❤🤗

[@Apples330]

This was soooo clear and awesome! Thanks so much. Purchased by Cricut over 3 months ago and stilling learning... This was a great video. Thanks again.

[@rosemarylako2285]

I received my cricut maker as a gift a few months ago and have been so frustrated with the tutorials that are available. Thank goodness I found you. You step by step directions have made it so easy to understand. Thank you, thank you, thank you.

[@9liveslisa]

Excellent video! I'm new to Cricut and I was getting a little lost with using text. This video helped me immensely. Thank you!

[@belindaandrews2200]

Just happen to run across this video ! Wow ! I have had mine for several yrs ! Well I have 3 ( the personal cricut , the expression and the Explore one ) ! Just so overwhelmed . This video has given me a new willing to learn it . You explain every icon ! You are an outstanding teacher. Loved the video . Thanks for sharing !!! Happy Dancing !!!!

[@venorajones8898]

This was so extremely helpful as a first time cricut user!! I so much appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge and help with the frustration I was having. Can't wait to look at your other videos. THANK YOU!!!

[@cdplemons]

I'm brand new to Cricut and this has by far been the most helpful video. I also appreciate how straightforward it is and no silly stuff wasting my time! Thank you!

[@susancross8571]

I just want to say thank you so much for this video! I just got my cricut yesterday and had absolutely no idea what I was doing . I watched a lot of videos before finding yours and was getting very discouraged because none of them went through each feature and showed what each one did. You are a blessing for sure! Your channel is at the top of my list for where to go when I need information.

[@Tnikkahpenstore]

Thank you for this amazing tutorial🙏🏼. Just bought my circuit joy and am quite overwhelmed with understanding design space and all the icons. You have made a potentially daunting experience a very positive one. Thank you,thank you x

[@kimmyt4661]

This is the best tutorial ever! Straight to the point, efficient in explanations and very thorough! Subscribed now!

[@MegaSandybeach]

What a great tutorial. Alot of coaches talk too fast or move along too fast. You were awesome. So glad I found you Lorrie

[@cheriedeburger8354]

Oh my gosh thank you so much! I just got a Cricut Maker and have been trying to decipher everything by watching different videos and listening to people's advice. Your videos are to the point and very informative as well as easy to understand with thorough explanations of what I am inquiring about. You have a loyal follower from this point forward!!

[@wendycyr5258]

This was the best one I have watch ,some have got me so confused I was going to give up on cricut maker, thanks you , I'm a newbie and beginner, I will look for more of you video

[@Carol-Bell]

I have watched your sewing with Cricut tutorials and now finally (in Scotland no less!) I got a Maker machine. I’m using design space on my iPad, which is a little different, but this video is SO helpful for learning all the functions with text! Thank you, now I can watch more of your videos and actually use them!

[@CLMaxey67]

This was a great tutorial! You were clear and concise. You didn't go too fast or have a lot of unnecessary opinions and commentary or have distracting music or side comments to your kids or spouse. I literally felt like I was in a class, teaching me exactly what I needed to know. Thank you!!

[@delvecchio861]

WOW, thank you so much for explaining this machine. But most of all, thank you for not talking too fast to keep up with what you are explaining.

[@feliciabernal4256]

Michele Burnett I agree, Lorrie has a good teaching method that is easy to follow.🤗

[@jujuspillane]

you have the best tutorial that I have watched so far and answered all my questions . Thank you

[@amandacarter1027]

As a new owner of a Cricut Maker and completely new to the Cricut design space, this has been a huge help to understand what all of the features do. Thank you soooooo much.

[@janetpinckney7321]

Love love love this. This helped me tremendously. I've had a cricut explorer air 2 for 3 months and have been so frustrated with it that I've done nothing with it until now. Out of all the videos on youtube, yours have been the most helpful. Thank you!

[@sarahernandez8766]

‼️❤️THANK YOU ‼️ I just got my Cricut today and I need all the help I can get 😳, I will watch this video few times over until I know by hart what I should do😁‼️

[@kaymurphy8463]

Thanks so much for this video, you explain things so well.Great for newbies.

[@kimberlymoran4489]

I just got my maker for mothers day (yesterday) I feel so lost!!!!! This was the most helpful video EVER!!!! Thank you so much!!! I will be watching all your videos to help me learn everything!!!!!

[@cookingmadeeasywithcalliop278]

BEST TUTORIAL EVER. Thank you. THANK YOU. I was so frustrated with some of the other tutorials that just showed the "what it is" and not "THIS IS HOW TO DO IT" thank you thank you thank you

[@kimbontrager9456]

You're an amazing teacher! I've learned more from you than anyone else! Thank you!

[@hischild8899]

So correct. She did a great job of moving from one to the next, I had my Cricut open and just paused a few seconds and followed each step...

[@louisianateeshirts]

This has been the BEST VIDEO everrrrr, THANK YOU SO MUCH❤️❤️❤️❤️

[@cindymitchell4696]

I am also getting ready to make my first signs. I LOVE your tutorial. Everything so detailed and step by step. I will definitely be referring to you over and over. Thank you!!

[@roxanneperkins1262]

Wow! That was a big help!! I have been watching videos for awhile trying to understand how to use design space. Your video is the first to explain how to use each feature! Thank You!!

Amazing, informative huge help to this frustrated newbie..

[@LisaMention]

Thanks for sharing. You are and excellent instructor.

[@lenarich3403]

Got my Cricut Maker a month ago and recently set it up. Watched several tutorial videos on the internet in advance. This was very informative -- learned some great tips within the first 10 minutes. Thank you so much -- you gained a new sub!!

[@mihikiteaorore587]

I am a newbie and was able to follow this tutorial without rewinding over and over again. So clear in your explanation, thank you and I look forward to viewing the next video.

[@victoriakuzminski1077]

Exactly the tutorial I was looking for thank you!

[@sking3225]

I’m 9 minutes in and I’ve learned so much!! It’s one thing to get your new machine and binge watch all the tutorial videos but have nothing to relate to...buts it’s a whole ‘nother ballgame once you’ve wasted hours and get frustrated trying to create projects!! Now this is beginning to make sense and makes me feel optimistic about new projects!! Thanks Lorrie!!!!!!

[@SmokeGTG]

I can't say thank you enough! I purchased myself a Cricut as an early Christmas gift and I am on the verge of returning it because I am finding that it is not all that user friendly. However after watching this video, you've shed allot of light on some things. I may just give it another try! Thank you for this!

[@tammyrozema564]

Thank you so very much for this video. I have been searching all over the place to try and figure out Fonts and Text with my new Cricut. I just got my first Cricut and I had to find how to do this to finish a board for a wreath I had to finish tonight. A sweet gal from a craft group I am in sent me this video after I had a break down on FB. Yes, Design Space made me cry. So again Thank you so very much. I have now Subscribed to your videos and I know I will be watching and sharing with family and friends.

[@DebLB12]

Thank you so much! This was so helpful and now I know I can always refer back to this video. When I watch your videos I always wonder how you know so much about design space!!!

[@lisaharvey4740]

I can’t say thank you enough. Best tutorial ever. The text struggle is real. 😂

[@Missteree21]

OMG!!! I agree!! This video is top and the struggle is R E A L!!!

[@shanellesmusic7402]

Lorrie this tutorial is absolutely fantastic for me as i am new to cricut and i did keep getting block lettering and it was annoying me but now i know what to do. Thank you so much, i can't stop watching your tutorials i am learning so much. Regards Cathy from the UK

[@dawnpeters6302]

Thank you, thank you!! I spent over 45 minutes on the phone with a Cricut rep and they couldn't help me with the problem I was having with the sizing of text. Your tutorial is well thought-out and so very helpful. Thank you for your time and effort. Last week I was so frustrated. It was the night before trash pickup and I had my Cricut Joy in my hands ready to throw it in the can! Yours is definitely the best tutorial I have seen thus far. Thanks again!

[@sandymcbrien]

Thank you for this tutorial. You just saved my Cricut Joy from being thrown out the window. :-)

[@cwhiteside5662]

You have the best tutorials for Cricut. VERY much appreciated.

[@gwenjewel9924]

Lorrie this was very good I learned a lot

[@wendyconnally4214]

Thank you so much. I am new to this, i was getting frustrated as well. I was begining to think i made a mistake of waisting money on my cricut machine. You are a life saver!

[@lskipper52]

Very helpful for a newby! I loved how you easily showed what to do with fonts. You saved me hours of trying to figure it out myself.

[@lindaferrell8220]

Thank you so much Lorrie. I just got my Cricut Maker yesterday and am basically clueless. Your video helped me understand why I had several problems.

[@christinegroulx7015]

I am a brand new Cricut Explore Air 2 owner and litterally just took it out of the box! One must admit that it is a pretty intimidating kind of machine! It all starts by learning the basics and that video did just that ! Your are a very good teacher. Thank you for educating us beginners. Greatly appreciate all the help I can get to become an experienced Cricut user! Looking forward to viewing other videos from you.

[@maribelmedina874]

Lorrie, YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER, I have had my Cricut for a while and haven’t really learned much… Thank you SO MUCH for your detailed teaching. Can’t wait to see your other videos and start working with my Cricut!! Thank You, Thank You, Thank Youuuu!!!

[@wandaallen7511]

Thank you so much 😊 my Cricut has been on the shelf for a year at least because I was so intimidated and scared . This tutorial gave me the confidence and assurance to get started

[@barbbusby7862]

Just bought my first Crcut and this tutorial was the most informative video, to the point no fluffing around so that I could get onto my first project straight away, many thanks 😁

[@xVentax]

I just bought a Cricut Joy yesterday, and haven’t even unwrapped it yet. I’ve been both excited and nervous about this because I was worried I’d never get the best out of it - or that I wouldn’t be able to use it all. This tutorial has been absolutely brilliant - I have saved it and will use it step by step as I get to grips with my new toy. I’ve watched other tutorials, and they’re what made me anxious - I couldn’t see what they were whizzing about, clicking etc. You made it so clear. Again, thank you so much.

[@vickyemerzidis6255]

This tutorial was so helpful, I'm a newbie and have been searching how to upload my fonts from my computer. Thank you so much. I love how you explain each step

[@catinacheatwood3084]

I'm new at this and was having a time trying to figure out the font. Thank you so much for this video! God bless you

[@mimitaylor8213]

OMG, Thank you! I just got my Cricut today and I totally lost. Your video has helped me begin. My first project is making bulletin board letter for my classroom. This helped so much! Thank you!

[@katiemcgervey3437]

wow! I love your style, so thorough. You demystified a lot of things by being so thorough!

[@lindajamme5459]

Thanks I’ve been using design space for a few years and still I learned a couple of things. Good video. I like when you get right to the point without a lot of fluff.

[@michelleprince7146]

Thank you, this is super helpful. A week in with my first cricut and lots of highs and lows and so many videos watched, this has been the most informative and the format was so easy to follow

[@quilter1643]

You are the best in helping use Cricut design space. Watched many video & yours was the only one I truly understand. Tk u.

[@ahealthierhappierresa]

Just bought a Cricut 3 weeks ago; it really helped me a lot. Thanks so much!

[@dlaitre]

Best font tutorial I’ve seen. Very comprehensive and easy to understand. Wish I’d found this one first.

[@susanmaysey654]

Thank you, I've been strugging to get the text right and you've just shown me how. I've been doing my own cards on my desktop for many years and wanted to make even better ones. My Husband got me Cricut Maker 3 and I couldn't make head or tail of it. I'm slowly getting there now and keep watching different segments and writing down what I need to know. I've got you bookmarked now and will be watching even more.

[@adineyparker1030]

This is one of the best tutorial i have seen about working with Cricut Design Space, thanks a lot Lorrie for sharing this with us. You rock!

[@mkmamakj]

Thank you so much Lorrie. Whenever I run into a problem using my Cricut I come to search for a solution on your channel. You are such a great teacher and I have learned a lot and really enjoy using my cricket because of you thank you for sharing.

[@Sandtina1]

I would like to thank you so much for taking your time to explain using Cricut design Space for beginners. I was getting frustrated and you simplified my concerns. I am going to keep watching your channel. I have subscribed. I have watched many other videos, but this one has been better by far. You don't assume that the viewer already knows. You take your time explaining. Thank you so much!!!!

[@naomimartell8937]

Great Tutorial! Just got my Cricut Maker and I know what I want to do but wasn't sure how to work with the text and fonts. It is so much clearer to me now after watching this tutorial!

Wow, this was good! I was feeling totally intimidated by writing (wanting to make cards), and this just taught me so much! Thanks!

[@2creativebytwins229]

Thank you so much for your simple explanations of the design space tool bar. As a newbie to Cricut and crafting with Cricut I was getting frustrated. Now I’m feeling comfortable to use the Cricut thanks to your help.

[@cmyh8349]

I just bought a cricut market and this video is exactly what I've been looking for. Thank you!

[@cjjdjcfdrci]

WOW !!!!Thank you! This is the first video that has such great detail in showing what and where everything is. Most videos I've looked at will quickly say click on this or that and they don't show you where this or that is! They just do it and I have to rewind and look for their pointer ugh!! Not so with your teaching. So, thank you for such a wonderfully detailed tutorial. I have had my Cricut for a month and it's not user friendly for someone like me with limited computer skills. I didn't realize how complicated it would be. But I am determined to learn and I've found my teacher!!! Again, thank you!

[@MargaritaGarcia-vv7hl]

Just got my Cricut recently, and I’m still trying to figure things out. That was very helpful. Thank you!

[@mariaprawdzik8628]

Thank you - for answered so many questions in one video that is so helpful for a beginner Cricut user- and you do it with such a lovely soft voice and a nice easy speed.

[@seemaahmed5855]

I love love the way taught us in this video. It felt you were sitting next to me and pointing out every single detail. As Joy Balsamo below my text said I was getting frustrated also as a new Cricut user and was thinking if I made a mistake in purchasing this machine. Thank you so much.

[@margaretayala7091]

Thank you, I’m very new at cricut and not very good with computers but your step by step is much appreciated and easy to understand and follow.
