Thank you at much! I was told the Air 2 couldn't cut faux leather and I would have to buy the maker. I'm so excited now!!

@lizdavis947 3 жыл бұрын

Thank you so much for this. Ive only had my Cricut Maker for a couple weeks but was having os much trouble with the padded faux leather. I asked around and googled and even changed the faux leather pressure setting to higher setting. grr I just tried doing it with the felt settings and worked like a charm! Thank you so much !!

@gprewett9036 5 жыл бұрын

This was so helpful! I tried the thicker faux leather in light pink from Hobby Lobby, and my Cricut made a mess of the earrings! Can't wait to try again on the Felt, Wool Bonded setting. So happy I will be able to cut this thicker faux leather now. Thank you!

Thank you. Your video helped me get to grips with this as I was getting frustrated. The only thing I would add is that you don't need to get a new mat each time...they Don't come cheap in the UK. I use transfer paper underneath my leather....and wait for it...I reuse the paper until the tak has gone & also use blue painters tape or brown printers tape to secure the edges. Works a treat and even though my strong grip mat is more like a light grip now ....my faux leather holds in place.

FINALLLYYYY!!! I HAVE LITERALLY WATCHED 5 MILLION KZfaq VIDEOS, READ 74 BLOGS, RESEARCHED MY 9 CRICUT FB GROUPS, GOOGLED 9 BILLION 872 DIFFERENT WAYS TO ASK AND HAVE NEVER BEEN ABLE TO CUT ANY OF MY FAUX LEATHER PROPERLY... UNTIL NOW!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THE AMAZING TUTORIAL. (ok I'm done shouting now, lol!) but seriously, thank you for being so detailed but yet straight to the point at explaining everything. another issue I have though is my actual genuine leather. my boyfriend bought a bunch of leather scraps off amazon because they're not as flimsy as the faux leather but I cannot for the life of me figure out how to cut it. have you had any luck with genuine leather? :(

Thank you so much for this video! I’ve been wanting a Cricut, for vinyl and iron on... but also wanted to add some leather to my jewelry making... I was on the fence about which Cricut to buy, because I was worried that the faux leather was too thin. But after your video, I’m stoked about the faux leather!

@MatuszDawn 2 жыл бұрын

Interesting! I've been wanting to get the Cricut for faux leather earring making, and reviews say it doesn't cut. I think it's probably because they are using the faux leather setting for the thicker one! So thank you SO much for this video! It has definitely made me decide YES on taking advantage of the Black Friday sale on the Cricut machine! I have a bunch of punch out shapes and the hammer and plate - but it's SO loud and I live in an apartment building with thin walls. :o) Not great for making friends with neighbors! This will help in a huge way! Thanks again!

My mat is the purple one. It is used. i just dont have the money to go and buy another mat right now. Would washing the mat and spraying some krylon easy tack on it work?
