You are so welcome! I am glad I could help! Happy crafting!

Welcome, I hope you learn a what you need to here. If possible try to catch a love video you will learn so much from the chat not just me

I did in the beginning, when the video starts. anything I made after that I had no idea how it was going to turn out until I made it.

Exactly what I do...PAUSE is awesome!

Glad it was helpful!

Melody Lane yes ! I had no idea how to do all that. I am slowly learning, but thanks to you and all your videos including your complete guide to DESIGN SPACE, I am getting their most out of my circut. xoxo

the most out of my cricut.

Can you provide the link to this guide, please? I looked through all of your videos and I could not find it. I even 'searched' for it and for a brief moment something popped up with the title but just as quickly as it popped up, it disappeared. I agree with some of the other comments, you've got great info, but it is difficult to follow along for a newbie. I think because I'm trying to follow but am distracted by your thoughts, rearranging, working through it yourself. It would be really cool if you re-posted this video but instead of you speaking as you think and process and create, you do a voice-over. What I mean is as you watch it, you describe what you're doing in terms of the technical aspects. I.E. when you show us how to add a shape and change it, you explain just the technical aspect. In this video you are moving your mouse around quickly, slicing, duplicating, etc. many times, all the while/each move you are saying what you're doing...but if you were to do a voice over you could spend more time explaining the process once even though you're doing it several times. Am I making any sense? Sorry, I know for you experienced Cricut users this all seems elementary, but if people are going to post instructional videos than they should try and imagine the first day they tried the machine. There are lots of videos out there, and bless you all for trying to help us newbies because Cricut's own videos lack specifics, but it's the basics, the little details that newbies do not know. I'm not trying to be critical, you put on a fairly professional video, you sharing your knowledge and expertise is very much appreciated...God knows us newbies need all the help we can get. I've watched more than 50 Cricut videos and your is by far the best so far...I just wish you could take it down a notch and go basic - beginner mode. :-) Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

Thanks, Meli C! Now, if Melody would be able and willing to do this for some of her videos, we all will be experts in no time, eh? :-)

Melody Lane...attending your live classes sounds perfect for me! What time do you air them? Also, please know, it is not my intention to be critical, as I previously stated, your videos are quite good. You do a good job including explanations and such. There are so many videos that claim to be for beginners, but they really are not. I've been looking for the steps or level of information that comes after the "out of the box" videos. So often I get lost because of terminology...contantly rewinding and/or pausing while I go look something up so that watching the current makes more sense. One of the things that keeps me confused, is the quick advancement and production of the machines. People who have known about and/or owned Cricuts for a while are aware of the changes, but to me, it's a blur. As a trainer who often covers the same info multiple times, I am fully aware how hard it is to keep the interests of people from multiple levels of knowledge...so, I am definitely not trying to critique...but I thought I'd ask for more detialed help - never know until you try, right? Anyhew, I look forward to catching some of your live classes. I've been looking for local classes, but none of the local craft stores offer anything on cutting, yet...keeping my fingers crossed. Thanks again. Happy Cricuting!!!

@@AndreaStevens2012 I found it no problem by searching her channel - typed in "Complete Guide", popped right up, first one on the list - kzfaq.info/get/bejne/m9pjYMKEzqzSd3k.html

Does this work on the mobile app? I’ve tried multiple times and it doesn’t work.

@@melodylane Thank you, no worries on the time frame. I have not figured it out yet as I put it aside until I heard back. I love your videos and I appreciate you sharing your knowledge...I learn something new each time I watch.

Design Space is the same for the Explore machines and the Maker! If you want to check out some of my latest tutorials, here's a playlist to my free classes from this year. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/prd2eq90u7LWe3U.html

Sunset by delerate

you can't do both, you have to add a piece to glue to either the front or inside, I suggest a rectangle 1/4" smaller than the size of the card so it has a frame around it.

@@melodylane Ok. Thanks for you assistance and quick response.

Emily Yyyy you have to have more than one thing selected and you can not weld writing

Brittany Stedding you can’t slice a score line, you can’t have a score line grouped or attached to slice. You can only have 2 times selected to slice.

Melody Lane I didn’t attach them. At first I did because of a previous video but then I restarted. I put the square the size I wanted, put the score line in and selected both and it still wouldn’t show slice or any other button.

Never mind, got it. Thanks!

i dont got it!!! ?????

Deerheart Studio Arts what device re you using?

Melody Lane , Thanks for replying. I use the iPad & Macbook Pro (no mouse)

On laptop there is a way to get the right click on the touch pad, I think double tap, not sure I use a mouse with my MacBook and iPad just use the buttons for each feature in the app. I am not sure why I said to left click in this video it’s an older video, but you can still do anything with out the mouse.

Thankyou for replying quickly to my question. This is great news for me as I can use my own designs and send them to the machine to print.

Just one more question. What is the biggest sized "paper" it can take? can it take upto a max a4 size or a3 size?

Melody Lane yes ma’am thank you so much 😍😍

Does it matter what size cardstock paper and can you tell me where I get it from or what brand you use... I am a newbie 😩

it just has cut copy and paste. there is a flip button. do i just flip horizontally?

thanks so much for a quick reply!!!

A design space video for the iPad would be most helpful for you then.

Melody Lane I am trying. I will need to practice. I appreciate these videos. It's a big learning curve

I'm sitting here, thinking the exact same thing. LOL...I'm lost! :-)

I've been doing exactly what you've suggested here but I'm still struggling a bit. I know you have all the answers, I just gotta figure out how to follow you. If you go to 19:21 or so you'll see an example of you moving too fast. It goes something like this, "oh I forgot, let's go back. Here, do this, OK now go here..." It's as if I should know what the do this and go here mean...you go to two different drop downs but I am not sure why or what or how. Thanks for all your answers to these comments, they've helped a ton! I am a little OCD and need explanations as to the why. Sorry, for bugging you on all these comments, but I do like your info and vids and you seem to be the most knowledgeable thus far in my search for help. Sorry, Melody...you're too good to pass up! :-)
