I'm loving it, but I'm having an issue with some Cricut vinyl I ordered from Amazon. I've wasted an entire sheet of permanent glossy vinyl! It cuts my project, but when I try to weed it its VERY difficult and I can't get the project off of the backing paper w/out ruining the project. Please help! I've even tried having it use "More" pressure when cutting. TIA!

Hello, I have a Cricut Maker machine. New to this. So, do you always have to use the transfer tape? I got the Smart Vinyl. Permanent Vinyl. I cut out a heart and i was able to stick it on a bin, without the need of a transfer tape. So I just need to know, why do you have to use it? If my vinyl already has adhesive on it? Is it more for like smaller designs where the transfer tape would be needed? Thanks in advance

@AngieHolden 2 жыл бұрын

Transfer tape is more for keeping your design into place. So with a single heart, you would not need it. But in the example I am doing here you would want all of these small pieces to stay in place and transfer tape is what is used to do that.

I would say if your design is extremely small or intricate, weeding will be hard. Otherwise, I would just press the vinyl down on the mat really well to get a better cut.

i used circuit permanent glossy vinyl. I've cut out the design three times. thought maybe I cut too deep, so changed settings. I can't for the life of me get the transfer tape to remove the permanent vinyl so it goes on the transfer paper so I can apply to my canvas. Can I use temporary vinyl instead? Then if I spray with crystal clear over the design, will it stay on the canvas. I don't want to remove the vinyl ever from the canvas Help Please, this is my first time cutting
