[@lindamercer1736]

hiya- my husband bought me the Cricut Explore 2 last Christmas and I LOVE it - boy it does take over your life ha ha. I have enjoyed making and designing cards, vinyl's and Iron is brilliant as I can combined my sewing/quilting with the HTV yay. Hope you do some more Cricut videos . Always ENJOY all your videos. Thank you, xx

I love my cricut maker! Thanks for the reminder of adding cut outs to my sewing projects! I didn't know much about the Joy , it's so cute!

[@staceyleecreative]

Yes so much fun to personalise sewing projects 🤗

Fab tutorial! I use my cricut to personalise with names, I have just finished my grandson’s Christmas stocking using your tutorials and added his name to the top cuff, it came out so cute! Thank you so much for all your helpful videos Stacey! Congrats on your first sponsored video too! 😊xxx

Thanks for this video. I’m considering purchasing a Cricut and trying to determine if this machine is the Best Buy for my budget.

I love it! It's nice and compact and fits the needs of what I want to make, which is just small vinyl projects 😊

[@mathrocks1362]

This was wonderful! My husband surprised be and bought me a Cricut Joy Xtra. I activated just fine but I was wondering if you could show how to take an svg and make it into a decal? Step by Step please I know nothing about this! LOL!

[@staceyleecreative]

I am glad you found it helpful! Unfortunately at this stage I don't have anymore Cricut videos planned, but there are plenty of good ones here on UA-cam. ❤

[@conniecruz3346]

Hi Stacey, Have you made a video on how to make the quilt ladder behind you. I would really like one. Thank you

[@staceyleecreative]

Hi Connie, no I haven’t. But it was a blog post I found somewhere. Maybe google it 🤗

[@conniecruz880]

That is awsome! Thank you for sharing.😊

[@staceyleecreative]

Oh hey Connie! How are you?

[@conniecruz880]

@@staceyleecreative Hi Stacey! I am hanging in there. So happy to hear your voice and watch your video. I even like the short ones. My favorite ones are your first ones. I like the beginner quilt ones. Still learn a lot from them. The new way to do the binding one is fantastic. Thank you for all the time you take in making these videos for us. You are very appreciated ❤ 💕 💛 😊 ☺ 🙏

Awesome tool.

[@staceyleecreative]

It's a lot of fun Patti! Thanks for watching with me!

[@TheMysticWildFlower]

Newbie here.
I keeo seeing people complaining about the size of prints that the joy series can do. Couldn't we kust rotate the text 180° if we wanted to do longer n wider prints?

[@staceyleecreative]

Yes you could! The Joy Xtra is bigger than the original Joy, for that reason I think it’s a better choice 🤗

[@learnwithmissc]

Thanks for your video, can I still using the normal material with mat (not smart material) by this Cricut Joy Xtra or Cricut Explorer 3 machine?
Or these machine only takes new smart material? Thank you so much, Stacey!

[@staceyleecreative]

Yes you can. You just need to use smart vinyl if you don’t have a mat 🤩

[@kimhernandez6303]

Thank you for sharing! I've been curious about all the hype regarding the cricket. Isn't there one that cuts material for quilting?

[@staceyleecreative]

Hi Kim, yes you can, but I think if you are looking for something to cut material a AccuQuilt would be better because that's it's main function ☺️

[@kimhernandez6303]

Ok, I didn't know if they were the same product or not. Thank you for clarifying that for me.

[@MrImog65]

Can you use one sheet in machine for several small projects or can you only use it once?

[@staceyleecreative]

Absolutely, I could have worked out how big my sheet of vinyl is and completely filled it up with cuts to do, for example I could have cut many more of the "Quilters Gonna Quilt" on that one sheet.

[@sarahblack4022]

Please please i need help! I just bought mine and cant even get it to do the test cut. It says please remove jam. But i am doing all the same steps you are. What do i do?? 😢

[@staceyleecreative]

Oh now! I would go onto the Cricut website and do a live chat so that someone can help you. Sounds like a technical problem.

[@jurannclements5461]

Oh my gosh this is great. I may have to take my daughter's cricut away from her 😂😂.

[@staceyleecreative]

Lol, well I am going to stick up for your daughter and say, buy your own 😂.
