I plan to hang my mats when I have my craft room set up. For a temporary protective placement of the 12x12 mats I can easily slide the mats under my Maker. This storage never interferes with the action of the machine. Unfortunately I am not sure it will work for the 12x24 mats. I have been watching the free videos for about a year. Today I plunged and joined the MGL group. One of the main reasons I joined is because I have learned almost everything I have done with my Maker that I have owned for about a year and a half has come from watching the videos. I have really used the helpful tips about how to clean mats, weeding vinyl from the mats, using shapes in Design Space, kerning fonts, working with vinyl, and so much more. I am really looking forward to doing more with my machine than cards and vinyl (non-iron on). I know Makers Gonna Learn will take me to the next levels.
New cricut owner... And I've learnt soooo much watching your videos....thank you sooo much because you've saved me from wasting product and money... Your amazing ❤️❤️
Hey Tanner!, Here’s a suggestion that has helped me and hopefully it will help others too. After you cut the design out, on the bigger empty space on your mat, place the clear mat covering over it (of course you don’t cover your design). Just by doing this, your fingertips, dust and tiny vinyl pieces will not be able to stick back onto the part that you’re not using.
I just bought a Maker 3 and a bunch of permanent vinyl, iron on vinyl, tools kit/sets, mats (multiple cutting & self healing), transfer tape, blades/tips/quickswap housing, markers, a TrueControl weeding kit, foil transfer kit/sheets, etc. at the end of May/beginning of June because I want to make a ton of stuff for home, my kids, parties, my wedding next year, and I wanted to start my own business(es) once I mastered of the products/crafts I’d like to sell… AND THEN I got laid off shortly after! 🫣🤦🏻♀️ So now I’m planning to master a few products I’m hoping will sell well and list those initially while I’m work on learning others to list… Your videos have been EXTREMELY helpful and educational!!! By far my favorite Cricut UA-cam channel!!! I pulled everything out of the box the day I got it and signed up for Design Space, but I put everything back in the boxes and haven’t taken it back out yet because I’m thoroughly confused on all of it! 🤔😵💫😅 Hoping as I get thru more of your videos I’ll be comfortable enough to start!! I really liked all these hacks, but I think bringing the blank into Design Space will be super helpful to visualize the final product and make sure it matches the idea in my head!! Thank y’all for putting out such amazing educational content for free! I can’t wait to get some income coming in and sign up for a membership to learn even more!!! 🤗🤗
New to Cricut…. and any issues I have had I come to your page for help, and I always find a solution. TY!!! Love the hacks, will definitely help with future projects!
I thought all the hacks were very helpful. Some of them I’ve been using. And I have to say I liked it the video was very precise and short. Sometimes videos are a little long-winded and I don’t always have time to view the whole thing. You’re doing a great job Tanner!
Rachael said to use the Kraft board setting. I was so frustrated because I used the medium weight setting for like 80 lb cardstock, and it didn't cut, then I used glitter and then the intricate card stock setting, and it didn't work. So I happened on Rachael's video on cutting card stock, where She showed cut card stock that looked like mine, a really ruff cut like somewhat torn around the edges. She suggested a great tip. Put Cricut on the kraft board setting. I did and my cuts were so nice they just fell off the mat. Now for the light weight card stock I used the normal setting, and the card stock cut really well.
Hello From Scotland 🏴 I’m very been a crafter for decades. Although I am VERY new to cricut. I’ve only had my Cricut maker for 6 days. I’m working from my iPhone until my laptop is fixed. THANK YOU SO MUCH for this video and your channel. Now I know what snapmat is about. Keep up the good unbiased advice. Love and light x
Using the shapes of my blanks has saved me so much aggravation. Weeding on the mat also is a huge help. I took my measuring tape out of my sewing box and put it in one of the bins on my peg board. I'm going to be using all of these hacks. So far everything I've learned from MGL, has been valuable. I joined a Jan 1, 2022 and the information I'm learning is amazing. The cut files and fonts are fabulous. It's so worth it!
I agree with others...this video was perfect, way less winded. Y'all are great but sometimes these videos are a bit long. Thank you for being there for all of us though!
Your content has taught me and inspired me so much with my new cricut! It’s super intimidating trying to not only learn a new software but also learn new mediums like vinyl and paper? Do you happen to have a video referencing your favorite brands of vinyl/materials that aren’t cricut brand? It can get so expensive!
My favourite hack is weeding on the mat! I'm new to Cricut, I just got a 'Joy'. I wish I had seen this video before I went and bought some of the products you've just spoken about but I'm grateful that you shared this information. It gives me more confidence to try again...later.
Thanks Tanner, my favourite hack was using snapmat. Did not know this existed. Have only been doing this craft for a couple of months but have already accumulated quite a few scraps. This is going to save so much time.
Fantastic bits of info! My cricut comes in today and I am so so excited. I know I'm gonna go straight for it when I get home from work, might not even kiss the hubby first! Update, he did indeed get kisses first.
I had only seen the snap mat for scraps with people using iPads, I’m so glad it works with the phone too, I’m definitely going to try that one! Thank you!
you show me a lot to do the layer I real like do that a lots thank you so much I like how you go slow I real like that in you keep up the good work on cricut
Hi Tanner I am new to your channel and I got a Circut maker 3 for Christmas and being a beginner this is so helpful especially from the phone plz keep teach from your phone if u can ❤️ I really learned some stuff from u super HAPPY ☺️
I am looking at buying a Cricut Mug Press....I started watching your Cricut tutorials...now I want to add a Cricut machine. I have used Silhouette in the past. Love the Snapmat feature....so much easier than trying to line things up on your own. New subbie.
I enjoyed all hacks. I’m currently waiting for my replacement Cricut Maker. Had a problem with my new one. I’m super excited to get started and I’d like to share some of my ideas
Which was your favorite? More coming soon 🥳
Weeding in the mat
Weeding, the baby wipe cleaning and the design space for blanks!! Great stuff!
Thank you for taking the time to tell us things we didn't ni
No
I thought the very last one was really clever I will definitely be using that !!! Thank you

The scrap tip is completely game changing! I'm going to be able to fully use up so much material now!
Great to hear!
The snapmat hack was super valuable. They all were but that
was the one I didn’t know about.
Love the hack about hanging your mat.
Thank you, Diana!
Baby wipes, snap matt and the command hooks! I learn something new each time I watch.
Yay!
Baby wipes was a miracle I tried the awesome spray it works as well but I got baby wipes on hand all the time.
Thank you. I’m very new to cricut, and all of these hacks are going to help me get started.
You're welcome!
Got a cricut from my wife for Christmas. Using it for model railroading and stencils for my rc airplanes. Your channel is helpful.
You should make videos of this
The re-cut hack and using shapes are the best hacks.
