Cutting Fabric with Your Cricut Explore or Cricut Maker

Can you tell me where you get the backing that you used?

I want to cut a fat quarter or handkerchief material I don't want to bond it to anything...do I have to use interfacing?

How Angie, i tried cutting 2 inch squares on 12 by 12 , 25 squares in all. Although i used cotton and changed the default to more although it cut the fabric it left little uncut bits on the sides. Help

you are using heat and bond. It is not interfacing. It is an iron on fusible bond

Speak a bit slower and get your Mic closer for better audio. You have got stuff to share but it can hard to hear

I really like this video I learned something new. How about adding a photo on fabric? Do you have a video on the process?

New here so do you use like actual fabric like you buy by the yard in the maker or what? Also what kind do you use with the explorer

How do you clean the fibers from the mat?

You just made my quilting a LOT easier!! thank you!!!

Great tutorial. Please do one on how to cut patterns such as quilt patterns.

Does the bonding was away?

That’s not fabric. That’s more like a canvas. I’d like to know how to cut letters, small, to make monograms. I have yet to find ANY information on how to do this. I’ve tried it a hundred ways and it’s very frustrating!!!!!!! PLEASE, a video. I can cut a heart with scissors!!!!! I don’t mean to sound like this, but I have this machine specifically to cut letters, small enough to use for a small name on a corner of a blanket. (I make Baby Blankets). Thank you

Thank you for the tutorial on cutting fabric on my Circut Explore2. can not wat to try it

Can you make your own svg files and if so, do you have a video on how to do that ? Thx!

I am new to cricut and I have a new cricut explorer air 2 I want to cut fabric on it what blades can you tell me to get for all fabric

Angie, I can now cut the fabric well with my Maker. I am using a zig zag stitch to embroider it. After a few washes, the material frays at the edges.

Any thoughts on how I can prevent this?

I am wanting to cut half square triangles for a quilt project and I cannot figure out how to either upload a half-square block pattern or how to draw one in the Design space 🤔 Help!

Where can I get interface? And does that make it so you can iron it to clothes and etc?

Which machine should I use to cut out pieces to make doll clothes?

Have you tried starching fabric instead of bonding for explore 3?

Great video Angie. If I'm cutting felt on my Maker, should I put a protective sheet of contact paper on my fabric mat to keep the felt residue from sticking to the mat? Will adding contact paper ruin my fabric mat?

Hi Angie. Is it interfacing you are using or something like Vislene bondaweb? My interfacing doesn't have a paper backing. But my bondaweb does. Thanks.

can I cut 2 layers of fabric at the same time on my maker?

Can you cut more than one layer of fabric at a time?

Great video! I am considering purchasing a Cricut Maker. It would be for fairly simple shapes in large quantities. I am wondering...you cut out a heart shape from a piece of fabric. Is there a way you would have been able to cut as many of those shapes from the available fabric as possible? Could you have gotten six or eight heart shapes out of that piece of fabric all in one go? Thanks so much!

Great video. Thank you so much. I been having trouble with cutting the fabric with my circuit explorer air 2. I tried using freezer paper but that didn't work. I been trying to find the material you put on the fabric before you cut it.

Thank you! That was super helpful!

Can you use faux fabric on the pink mat

Hi Angie! Question, we (my fiancé and I) want to start are own business making body stickers and pasties. Before we purchase a Cricut cutter we wanted to ask which cutter would probably work best? We do plan on using fabric (cotton) for our first few runs before moving to vinyl. Also, how would you recommend applying the adhesive to fabric?

Great video! Thank you.
Question, what would happen if you try to cut fabric on an Explorer without the interfacing?

If I want to sew the bonded material to a shirt, will the adhesive on the outside activate in the washer/drier and mess things up?

Great video. I have a Cricut Maker and I do a lot of fabric cutting. I've found that if the design has a lot of twists and turns (as in fancy lettering) the fine point blade does a better job than the rotary blade because the rotary blade cannot do tight, sharp turns very well. If you select "fabric" the Maker will require you to install the rotary blade. So what I do is, I select heavy cardstock, use a fine point blade and select extra pressure. I works beautifully. I always use Heat N Bond Lite on the fabric and remove the paper as you stated. It's the most durable going through the machine (and I've tried them all).

Finally found a great video on how to cut fabric.

Hi Angie. I'm currently cutting calico with a rotary blade on my Maker and getting an awful lot of "shredding" on the edges. Any hints? It's for doll clothes and I'm not sure how it will sit if I cut with bonding attached.

Hi , my cousin passed I want to make her granddaughter a sweat shirt and add letters from on of her shirt if I iron disable web and then cut on cricut cyan I then iron onto sweatshirt for the grandaughter ? Thank you in advance😊

I know this vid is old so does this work on Explorer 3?

How do you download pieces to the correct size when cutting on maker for quilts?

Thank you so much for your clear explanation!

After the last comment, I cut quiltt pieces and made 2 quilts, but pulling the fabric off the pink mat frayed the edges very badly. I lost nearly the whole 1/4" seam allowance in some instances. How did you do this w/o fraying? ??!!! I'm thinking og ironing parchemnt paper on the back, but that will ruin my cutting wheel. I'm loving your videos.

Hi Angie, Thank you for this video. Its very helpful. What exactly is that sheet that you used as backing for the fabric before cutting?

What blade did u use and where can I get one

Hi Angie, always love your videos. I have the Explore 3 so what setting do you use? On the 2 you have that dial for Bonded Fabric, but for the 3 there is no Bonded Fabric setting. Any help is greatly appreciated!

4 yrs later still teaching.

Where to buy those tweezers??? Do you HAVE to use the rotary tool to cut fabric n Cricut maker 3? I just bought the pink fabric blade. Thanks.

Instead of interfacing can I use fusible iron on fabric like Wonder under?

Help !! I have the Explore Air 2. I have the fabric cutter blade and the pink pad. When I try to cut cursive words it shreds the fabric. I called Cricut customer service. I was told the Air 2 would not cut fabric except for 4 fabrics none of which were cotton. Please advise what I am doing wrong. Thank You Jennifer

could heat n bond work as iron-on interfacing??

My problem is downloading the pattern to the maker ?!?

You didn’t show how you loaded a design into the Cricit. Can I load a pdf stained glass pattern and cut it on fabric?
