- Today it’s a bit of inspiration, if you didn’t think a Cricut could help you in the sewing room, maybe you should think again!
I love my Cricut maker, I use it to help me embellish and personalise my makes. I hope you find this video useful if you have been wondering how a Cricut can help you to sew. I am a fan, not an affiliate xx - Розваги
You are calling us a sewist but the correct term is Seamstress! Hehe. Hugs and loved your video/
Sewist, seamstress, dressmaker interchangeable 😊 I’m different ones on different days! 😂
After 2 weeks of trying to decide if I need one you've convinced me I definitely do 🤣
Yay! You will love it!!
Wow the vinyl is a cute idea!!! Love the little zipper pouches!!!
Thank you! They were fun to make 😊
I recently bought a brother scan n cut and so I’m loving all your suggestions! Thanks so much! Oh and also...great pronunciation!
Thanks Rosy 😊👍
i realize I'm pretty randomly asking but does anyone know a good place to watch new tv shows online?
@Byron Conrad Flixportal =)
@Tristan Justice thanks, I went there and it seems like they got a lot of movies there :) I really appreciate it!!
@Byron Conrad no problem :D
Thanks so much. Just the job! Love your ideas I just need to get brave and start experimenting!
Get creating 😊 thanks for watching x
Thank you x
some great ideas thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching x
Great tips!,, also LOVE your wallpaper and the material roses do you have a video on how you made them.and name if wallpaper.. enjoyed your videos
The wallpaper is from Laura Ashley, paradise birds (I think?) the flowers I made following a tutorial by madebylucy on FB. She has a sewing community group 😉 thanks so much for watching xx
I have the Brother Scan N Cut and I know you used your Mums before your hubby bought you the Cricket Maker. Can you comment on the pros and cons for both machines? Great vlog though thank you. Val. 🇨🇦🇬🇧❤️
The scan and cut is fab too- and you can use it as a stand alone machine without the need for a computer. I also like the scan facility, cricut has snap mat but it’s not as good as the scan function on the brother.
The Cricut has different tools like an embossing tip and perforation tool......they are both great machines. If you have the brother already and get on well with it I’d say stick with it 😜
Hoping to buy mine on black friday I am falling down the UA-cam rabbit hole it's addictive and I haven't even got one yet
😂 it’s an awesome tool! I love mine- go for the maker if you want to cut fabric xx
Super vid. I’ve just got my maker machine and still getting used to everything but it’s fab, the rotary cutter is amazing!
One of the main reasons I got it was to draw embroidery designs, can’t wait to do it! Do you use the disappearing ink pen to draw the design?
Do you have the heat press for applying vinyl or do you use an iron? Xx
I used an ordinary Cricut pen but I do have an invisible pen, keep your eye on amazon- they periodically have great deals on stuff.
I use an ordinary iron but I’m saving for an easy press 😊
I want to make a little bambi after seeing yours!
Sew PrettyKitty I think a press will be on my Xmas list ☺️💖
I fell down the maker rabbit hole a while ago but don’t think I could justify the cost for the amount of use I would get from it.
Sewing will always be my first love, but I do have to admit that the Cricut comes a close second! It’s an investment for sure- luckily mine was a gift 😊
Hi love your videos can you tell me what the difference is between a cricut maker and explore air as id like one for my birthday / christmas and dont know which to ask for many thanks lin
The maker is the newest model, it has a rotary blade and all the new tools are compatible with it. If the budget allows I’d go for the maker, you won’t be disappointed xx
Sew PrettyKitty thank you xx
Hi Kitty, it sounds wonderful.... strange question, but can it cut cardboard as well? Also would you give us a link to your machine? I wouldn’t know where to start looking! Great video, I’ve always wondered about these machines. 👏🏼😘😊
Hi! Mine is a Cricut maker and it can cut chipboard if you buy a knife blade for it! Amazing machine, I love mine. Search Cricut maker on amazon, or check out lots of great tutorial vlogs on UA-cam. Auntie Tay is great x
It will also cut card, leather and paper amongst many other things x
Hi, ive just bought the cricut maker but cant for the life of me find the rotary blade attachment? Where did you buy yours from?
It should have come with it- looks like a tiny circular blade with a cog on the top. The maker is supposed to come with it so go back to Cricut if you haven’t got one x
If your purchase was very recent, especially if it was the Maker 3, the company stopped including that blade with the machine.
i make doll clothes and i bought the cricut maker specifically for cutting out patterns. I am having a terrible time trying to convert my patterns so that i can use them in design space. The idea of drawing on the seam line is exactly what i need but i can't for the life of me find anywhere that explains how to actually do that. it's not as easy as i would have liked.
Are the patterns SVG’s? (That’s the type of file you need). Design space has a few dolls clothes patterns on there, there are lots of how to videos, I hope you find out how to fix your problem x
@@threadtherapy251 I traced over the patterns in illustrator and converted them to svg files. When I import them into design space the lines go all over the place. The only way I can create the seam lines is if I do a basic offset of the shape, which doesn’t always work. I need to be able to create hem lines and seam lines. I’ve looked at so many UA-cam videos and blogger tutorials and they all say it can be done, but no where explains how. Lines in illustrator don’t always work in design space.
Denise Humphrey has a video of using PDF and SVG files, including transfer into the markings. Those might help.
After about a month, don't they charge for the software in the UK?
No, you can sign up for the Cricut subscription that gives you extra content for £6 a month ish (which I do- it’s worth it for me) but you don’t have to. There’s tons of free content online, lots that you can download for nothing including fonts/images etc.
If you choose not to subscribe you can still use the machine to its full potential x
It’s called Cricut Access but it’s not essential, design space is free x
That's great, but here in NZ I've heard of very disgruntled purchaser who claim the machine can't work as the software part is discontinued unless they pay for it. I will have to check for myself. It sounds great fun. Thanks for your reply.
Susan Roome maybe they have an old machine that takes cartridges? I think they are phasing them out. You do need access to the internet to use the Cricut. A laptop, desktop, iPad, phone. The design space is free, subscription is just for extra projects and content x
@@threadtherapy251 Thanks so much!
My major sewing project is face masks - I use a 3D box design, so the fabric cut is literally a rectangle. My issue is the maker limits you on the length of fabric. My thought was to fold the fabric, but I would need to instruct the machine not to cut the bottom line of the rectangle is this possible?
Have you got a long mat? You can buy very good generic mats- they don’t have to be cricut brand.
