I was just about to give up on P&C, it was driving me insane. It took hours working on it, then I watched your tutorial, went right in, first time and it printed out just right. Thanks for the tutorial.
You're most welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting, and I'm glad your project printed out just right! 🙂
You get straight to the topic without a lot of additional commentary. And, I suspect your "additional commentary" gets straight to the point...lol. I love it! I am a new cricut 3 owner and learning the crafting world. You have been my favorite after watching so many tutorials. Thanks.
Aw, thanks so much for the encouragement, and I also appreciate you watching and commenting.
Yes! I just don't have the patience for a lot of banter when I want to learn something from a UA-cam video, so I decided when I started this channel I would not go that route. It's that whole "treat people as you want to be treated" thing, I think! 😆
Please let me know if there are any SVGs cut files and/or vector-creation tools you'd like to learn how to create/use. I give examples in the following video ua-cam.com/video/IaGVg2-FEkc/v-deo.html. Also, don't hesitate to ask questions about Cricut Design Space and your Cricut machine, as well. I'm open to helping out in any ways I can.
Thank you! Very thorough and easy to understand! Saved me from pulling the rest of my hair out!
You're welcome. Thanks so much for watching and commenting! I appreciate knowing the video tutorial was helpful to you.
Hi, I’m definitely subscribing to your channel. You just simply explained a very difficult subject & you did it in a way that I can remember because you brought out very important info. Thank you, I look forward to viewing your older content as well your new ones 😊
Dont make me cry! I'm ugly when I cry! 😭 Thank you so much for your encouragement and wonderful words. If you have questions about Design Space or any other tool that can be used to create SVGs, please reach out and ask. I'm always looking to make videos for this channel that are relevant to even just one person! 🙂
Excellent video! I love the way you explained it in simple terms and didn’t waste a lot of time! So many videos turn out to be an hour long with only 5 minutes of “real” content! Great job!
Thank you so much for watching and commenting.
It's always great to read the comments of those who like my "straight to the point" approach.

So much time spent watching so many tutorials! and here you were all this time. 🤟
Aw, thanks for watching and commenting, and thanks for asking to be notified when SVG Tuts Crew is live. It should be ready in the next couple of weeks.
A true "step by step" tutorial. Thank you for not leaving out the instructions for those small steps that you know so well you do them without thinking. You definitely realize that newbies don't necessarily know those small steps. Subscribed.
Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing.
I actually started creating my tutorials while I was still a newbie, so I think that helps me not miss the small things.

This is my First Comment I have ever left on a UA-cam Video that I have watched all the way from beginning to End. I cannot express how greatful I am to have found you. I have gone through about 30 other tutorials wanting to know exactly what you first say in the video. I listened to your video followed the steps and poof it worked. I just want to Thank you for saving my Cricut Maker 3 from the river in my backyard ! You are the only tutorial person on this entire You Tube that says what your trying to do and you simply explain how to do it. Thank you so Much!
You are most welcome. Thank you for validating the reason I created my channel, because I actually thought about not creating one.
I wanted to do videos for people that I wish I could find on UA-cam and do them in a way that gets straight to the point, because when you're trying to learn to do something you don't want to hear about how hard my week was and about the new shirt I got on sale. I simply do not have the patience for all the banter, so I wanted to create a banter-free channel.
I really appreciate you leaving the comment and letting me know I'm meeting the mission I set. Please let me know if there's anything else I can try to help with.
Thanks for the tutorial. I learned something about the black border around the butterflies.
You're welcome! Thanks for watching and commenting!
Thank you! Your step by step explanation was what I needed. You’re a great teacher - I just subscribed. 🙏🏼🦋❤️
Thanks so much for subscribing. 🙂 I'm glad the video helped a bit, and I appreciate you taking the time to watch and comment!
Thank you! I had told my husband I give up on your hat. When I saw your video! You simplified it & made it so I actually could figure it out. Here’s to hoping his hat finally gets made😊
Haha. I'm glad I could help in the quest to get your husband his hat! Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
Thank you so much for going slow and making the design space make sense! Saved me a lot of time and frustration, keep up the good work!

You're welcome. I'm so glad you found the video tutorial helpful. Thank you, also, for watching and commenting!
Very rarely do I comment on these types of videos but your video has answered a question that seemed easy enough to find out but has nearly caused me to stop using the cricut as no video covers it so comprehensively. I wanted to print / cut and hide all contours, that's all I wanted and it seemed to hard.
Thank you so much for explaining this in such a simple way.
You are welcome. I'm so glad that my video tutorial was helpful! Thanks so much for watching and commenting.

I have wasted so much printer paper by not getting this right. Thank you for this video! I was about to give up. You explain how to do this so well. ❤
I so understand wanting to just chuck it and give up! I can't tell you the number of other videos I watched where other creators just zipped right through the whole process, and their cuts came out perfectly!
I was so baffled by why I was ruining sheet after sheet of copy paper and sticker paper and printable vinyl, so then I just buckled down and was like, "If all these other people can do this, I should be able to, also. What am I doing wrong?"
I put a small, layered design on my canvas and blew up the Zoom to 300% in Cricut Design Space and figured out step-by-step (with a lot of undoing) where I was going wrong. As soon as I figure it all out, I decided it would be a good idea to create this video tutorial for others.
I am overjoyed that you found the tutorial useful, and thank you ever so much for watching and commenting.

New sub, and great content. But the more I thought I knew, now I get more confused. But i am still learning, and making out so far. sometimes it is a wasted sheet, but get the results eventually.
I know all about the wasted media. Whew! I'm still learning, too. Thanks for watching, commenting and subscribing.

Hi, been watching your tutorials on how to avoid printing our each letter. I just want to create some greeting for my iris fold cards (i.e. Happy Anniversary). I want to print directly onto gold or silver shimmer vinyl. What color should the lettering & offset be?
Thanks for watching my tutorials and commenting.
When you say, " I want to print directly onto gold or silver shimmer vinyl," I'm thinking specifically of Cricut's Printable Vinyl in gold and silver cricut.pxf.io/q4Y5Xg.
If you want the gold/silver to show through for the lettering, then make the offset a dark color (like black or dark purple or dark brown) and make the lettering white. If you want the offset to show in gold/silver around the lettering, and you want the lettering to have a fill color, then fill the lettering with the color(s) you want and make the offset white.
Unless you have an inkjet printer that prints with white ink from a white ink cartridge/tank, the printer will ignore the white as if the vinyl you're printing on is white.
I hope that answers the question you asked. If I totally missed the mark, please let me know, and I'll try to clarify.
Thank you so much! I have been trying for weeks now to get a project to print then cut without cutting the little bits and here you were the entire time with the easiest explanation ever! THANK YOU! I may have to watch a few times, but I've book marked you, so I've got you now!!! I purchased an image with text under it as a svg for print then cut. Is there any way to get rid of the text and just keep the image??? New video idea???? Thanks so much!
You're most welcome, and thank you for watching and commenting.
If the SVG you purchased is made up of layers, then you can just hide or delete the layer with the text.
If the SVG you purchased is not made up of layers, then hopefully the designer provided you with an EPS and/or AI file that has layers.
Do you mind providing a link to the file you purchased, and I can see if I can determine whether it's layered or not?
@@SVGTuts I was trying to copy the file and couldn't, so I read your comment again, watched your video again AND VOILA - I did it! You have saved me more torturous hours of agony! You are the BEST! Happy New Year!
Oh, that's fabulous! I'm so glad you've been able to move forward with your project.
Happy New Year to you, too! 🎉
Thank you....

Thank you! This helped me a lot, I was getting really frustrated. If you buy an image from Etsy how do you edit that image? When I try to edit I can’t. I highlighted the whole image but there’s nothing else I can do to change the image. Like the flatten feature does not highlight.
Thanks for watching and commenting. ❤
When you purchase a file from Etsy or anywhere else, make sure that it is in layers and not already flattened.
Even if it says it's an SVG, you still want to make sure to ask the seller if it's in layers that can be modified. If not, then you're not going to be able to modify their file.
If you get multiple files, like JPG, PNG, SVG, then use the SVG file. The JPG and PNG will definitely be flattened.
Again, make sure to ask if the SVG file has its layers if the description does not explicitly say "layered" or "layers" for the SVG.
Thanks for your question, and I hope this helps!
When you do this will it put the white background on as well?? I’m trying to make a shirt for my son that says I dig being two but I don’t want the whole inside to stay a different color from the shirt if that makes sense. I just want to be able to put it on but everything stay in one piece. Will the heat transfer paper only transfer where the ink is?
The white is an offset. As long as you do not add an offset, then the heat transfer paper will only transfer where the ink is, yes. Thanks for your question and for watching. 🙂
So once I have done the contour for a print then cut on pen + gear transfer sheets, do I have cricut go ahead and cut it out? Also, will the contoured spaces show a “color” on my T-shirt once ironed on?
Thanks for watching and commenting, and thank you for your question.
In regards to the CONTOUR feature and Cricut Design Space, are you talking about the parts of the design that you hide when using the CONTOUR functionality?
Hi, I just had a customer put in a large order, I have my SVG ready, but it's very intricate and I have followed your steps at least I think I followed them correctly, I grouped all the colors together, and then attached them, after that I flattened it, than I added an offset, I put the offset behind the image and flattened that as well. But it's still cutting all around each individual thing. Do you think you could please help me? I wish there was a way I could add a photo to show you, or communicate with you through email because you seem very smart I'm sure you could help me figure it out!
Hello, and thanks for your question. I did a couple of follow-up videos on this, and I think this one may help you ua-cam.com/video/-wlDadOZ7Y4/v-deo.html.

Wow! Have you been watching over me for the last week? I have spent hours trying to figure this print and cut out. I am more than frustrated and was ready to sell my machine. I will try this today. I also heard that you cannot use a laser printer? Is this correct? I have a laser printer. I just ordered a cheap ink and jet to do this print and cut design stuff. I have subscribed to your site. You are very easy to listen too and you explain things very well and you go slow enough for me to follow. Thank you for that! :)
Thank you so much for watching, commenting and subscribing.
It's not that you cannot use a laser printer with Print Then Cut projects. It's that Cricut printable materials are not compatible with laser printers and neither are many of the other third party materials usually used with the Print Then Cut feature.
The heat of the laser printer can melt vinyl sticker paper and/or the adhesive used with vinyl/paper sticker paper can cause a mess inside a laser printer once the media is heated. That's why most media require an inkjet printer.
Some of the Avery products, like Avery 4397 Printable Sticker Paper, Glossy Clear [ amzn.to/4bmS6K3 ], can be used with a laser printer or an inkjet printer. The packaging usually indicates whether you can only use an inkjet printer, so be sure to check that out.
Thanks so much for your question.
Thank you for this video! After struggling with this exact issue of cutting all inside text, I finally found your video. Followed your instructions, which are easy to follow, however when I get to the last step of hitting flatten after grouping, it is greyed out and cannot flatten the whole design. Any suggestions?
Hello, thanks for watching and commenting. I appreciate your time!
Are you saying that FLATTEN is greyed out?
@@SVGTuts yes. Thanks so much for getting back to me! So when I removed the scoring lines and the background square cut I was able to group all the graphics and text. I was then able to flatten them. However, when I attached it back to the scoring lines and background, it cut out the outside shape of the flattened graphics & text and the outside square. How do I connect it to a background & have it only cut the background out? Don't know if this makes sense without seeing what I was making, but thanks for any insight you may have!

If this doesn't get you where you're trying to go, then let me know if you'd like to set up a screen-sharing session, and we can work on it together.
Really appreciate the video, I definitely understand it a lot better now! I'm trying to take a photo of a car with background but only cut out the car and nothing else. Is this something you have a video on by chance? I have a really cool photo of my car but I don't want the background just the car itself. Might not be possible but thought it worth asking. Thanks!
Thanks for watching and commenting. 🙂
Background remover... I'll work on a video for that today and try to get it edited and posted before Monday.
Hello, I'm just checking in to let you know I'm still researching. I've tried several online background removers, but so far none of them are very ideal. Give me a few more days to find some better options.
@@SVGTuts no rush I really appreciate you researching the topic for me that is too kind!!!!
I'm happy to do it! If you wouldn't mind me having a copy of the picture from which you're trying to remove the background, send me a message through my contact form at svgtuts.com/contact.
I give you my word not to share the photo with anyone else, and with your permission I could actually make the video tutorial using your photo which means you'd be able to duplicate what I do exactly on your end. 🙂
Hi I want to print a logo out to make it into a sticker I just want the label to peel off not to disturb the actual text as it’s the logo how do I do that in other words just print a rectangle with the text inside
Thanks for your question.
It's all in Flattening the right away. Check out this video for more about that ua-cam.com/video/T00u1kPP3C8/v-deo.html.
As long as you have everything flattened to one layer, then your Cricut will only cut the outline of the design and not each, individual letter and/or illustration.
This is such a great explanation and I learned several new techniques! Thank you so much for sharing! I have a question too, if you happen to know how to do this: ) I have a greeting card that is already cut out, but I want to cut the old text out of the middle of the front of the card so I can make a new greeting. How do I get my Cricut to only cut out the shape from the middle without trying to recut around the entire card. the card is currently open on my mat and is 5.5 x 8.5. I have measured a small rectangle to cut out of the front section of the card, but I don't need my machine to cut out the whole card since it's already the size i need. Is there a way to tell the machine to cut where I need it to, but not cut out the whole card? thanks! MaryAnn
Hello, MaryAnn. Thanks so much for watching and for commenting, and I appreciate your question.
Just so I can give you my best advice, with the card on the mat, is the part you want to cut out on the left or the right of the card?
I’m only trying to cut the rectangle out of the middle of the front of the card. Thank you for taking the time to write:) Please don’t go to trouble:) I may have to just use my exact knife, but I just hate to not use my expensive machine and software! I feel certain there must be a way for this to work, right?!?😉😊
Definitely! I will make a video for you tomorrow and get it posted. 🙂
Many apologies for the delay!!! I finally just went and purchased a greeting card from the Dollar Tree to do the video. I could not find one in the house anywhere!
Newbie here, question for you. I purchased a design that is not completely enclosed. If/when I go to weed my project will look stupid or incomplete. How can I place a border around it (this one is a circle) to enclose the entire project so it looks complete?
Thanks for your question. Can you tell me the name of the design and where you purchased it? I can look it up and then be able to give you more precise details on how to make the project look complete.
Thank you so much for this fabulous, step by step description of print then cut in Design Space for Cricut. I have one question that you might be able to answer. Can I print in another room than the craft room with my Cricut? My printer is in my office and the Cricut machine is in a craft room downstairs. Will the software (Design Space) send to the printer without the Cricut on and in the room?
If you know I’d appreciate your experience.
Thanks again for your video.🥰
I'm so pleased that you found the video helpful Thanks so much for watching, commenting and subscribing!
As to printing in one room and having your Cricut machine in another room, and before I can give a good answer to the question, I need to know if you're using Cricut Design Space on your desktop, laptop or on a smart device, like your phone or tablet?
I’m using a notebook computer. It’s totally portable. But my inkjet printer is not and my Cricut is in a different location. I can move freely with the computer. But the peripherals are pretty much stuck where they are:
Got it. My best advice is to port the notebook ( (so glad to see someone call it what it is; I tried for years and years to get people to call it a notebook, but everyone wants to use the term laptop) with you to the room with the printer and print out your design(s).
Then cancel out of the "Make It" process back to the Cricut Design Space canvas.
Then take your printed design(s) and notebook to where the Cricut is.
Add your media to your mat, if you're using a mat, or prep your Smart material for loading.
Now click "Make It" again and get to the place where you see "Print on (whatever size your media is) , but look all the way to the right and click "I've Already Printed."
Then you can choose whatever is necessary from there to have the Cricut machine do its job.
Alternatively, you can skip the step where you back out of the "Make It" process and just keep Cricut Design Space where it is and head to the Cricut machine, but I'm thinking that you might get stuck and have to back out, so that's why I suggested just going ahead and doing it so you don't get stuck.
Let me know how it goes, please. I'm very interested to know.
Thank you so much for your fast response. I just got the Maker 3 two days ago and really want to try the print then cut feature. I’ll let you know how it turns out once I receive the materials I plan on using. This week for sure. I was using the Joy machine before and saw all of the great things the Maker series could do so. 🤷🏻♀️
I’ll be in touch.
Have a very Happy New Year. Thank you again! All the best in 2024!💖🥰💖
Oh, great! While you're waiting your materials, I'd suggest doing some test runs on regular 20-pound copy paper; maybe in light and dark grays to save on ink. That would allow you to make sure your machine is calibrated properly before you cut into any printable vinyl and such.

Can you print a coloured or designed background and then cut only the main thing X
Hello, and thanks for your question.
When you say "cut the main thing," can you give me an example of what you mean by "main thing," please?
Do you have a video that shows how to cut out each individual graphics on a sheet of graphics? I have a lot of screenshots of pages with multiple images on my Android phone that I want the images cut out individually( printables). I have a new Air 2 and want to send screenshots of sheets with multiple graphics to the Air 2 that I want to cut out of the sheets on sticker paper?
Hello, and thank you for your question?
Please reach out to me via Facebook Messenger and provide me an example of what you're working on, and I will see if I can create a tutorial specifically for your use case facebook.com/faydradeon.
I think other people would be interested in knowing how to do this, too! 🙂
Hi, I have a question. is the only way to print to make an offset?.. I am try to make a Sticker Label, so picture at the top and item name at the bottom with the quantity. I definitely do not want it to cut each word individually. i want just a square sticker with the words and the the picture attached. Is there a way to do that.. I'm about to throw this things through the window!
Thanks:)
Hello, and thank you for your question. You wouldn't need an offset at all for this.
If you want the objects on top of a square, just choose the square shape and make it the size you want the sticker to be. They arrange your picture, name and quantity on the square where you want them to print. Select everything and then FLATTEN. When it cuts, it'll only cut out the square and not the stuff on the square.
Please let me know if a video would be more helpful, and I'd be happy to make one quickly for you. 🙂
OMG@@SVGTuts I cannot thank you enough!! . I feel like I know stuff now!. It Worked
@@Aceuvnone Awesome! I'm glad it worked. You actually bring up a good point. There are a lot of videos on UA-cam about doing Print Then Cut with offsets, but I can't recall seeing one or any about doing Print Then Cut without an offset but with a shape, like a square, circle or polygon. That'll be my next video, actually.
By far the BEST tutorial you can find explaining this! I’ve watched countless tutorials and this is easiest to follow and straight to the point! I don’t need people selling me things. I need to learn how to use my cricut better! Now I have known how to use P&C feature and have had successful cuts in the last couple months but once in a while I get so frustrated because it will not cut it right. Even after calibrating and going back to try and fix the image with flatten. It would always cut out the letters/text I used even after flatten. I think I know why now that your video has helped!! Trial and error is how we learn right? Thank you for your help! I think you even made it easier then I was doing it. lol do you find the new “P&C feature” doesn’t work as well as doing it the original way? (this way??) because I’m finding I’m having issues with using the new feature and it cutting everything out. 🤔
Thanks so much for watching and commenting.
I didn't actually know there was a new way to do Print Then Cut! I've just been doing it the way I finally learned to do it without cutting out everything. Haha.
Oh! Are you talking about the Stickers feature? If so, I haven't tried it yet. I like to stick to the features that you can use without having a subscription to Cricut Access, even though I do pay for Cricut Access. I mean, if I can't afford to renew it next year, then I don't want to be missing things I can't use anymore. Haha.
@@SVGTuts absolutely understand!!! I’ve had the original cricut joy for a year just to play and learn but wanted to do more. My family got me the new Explore for Christmas and I haven’t stopped using it since. I’m a nurse and work a lot (probably too much haha) but it’s very calming and relaxing to come home and try new things with it. Even if it’s only for an hour, the creativity just relaxes me… even when I get super frustrated haha 😂 currently I’m trying to use infusible ink markers (which is frustrating too) and also using P&C to make bookmarks with magnetic paper. But every time I’d sent it to cut, it kept cutting out everything and now I know why! It’s because I wasn’t flattening the image as a whole and only flattened the original image (before duplicating it), so the sub wasn’t flattening and cutting everything. I repeatedly went back to try the flattening everything and it still wouldn’t work but it’s because they were all still separated… I literally just tried it your way and it worked!! FINALLY!!!! I’m jumping with joy and so grateful for you! I also tried the sticker feature with one of them and it cut everything, so I’m sticking to the original way. Plus, you’re right… it’s better to know how to do it yourself than relying on the app to do it. It will always be reliable! I kept the subscription only while I’m learning but plan to end it eventually. It definitely adds up financially. Especially as I’m learning to figure everything out myself.
I’m so grateful for your help! And thank you for responding. Truly the best tutorials I’ve found! Definitely a hidden gem! I’ve recommended you to my best friend too who is learning on a Maker 3. We dove in together, and it’s been fun because we help each other. She’s a doctor and it’s her solace as well! I’ve subscribed and can’t wait to try more things you’ll teach me! 😊🩷
Oh, wow! Thanks so much for sharing all this. I love it when I can learn more about the people who watch my videos.

Thank you for being so welcoming, too. I always find myself stuck and searching for answers, so next time if I can’t find my answers in your videos, I’ll definitely be asking for help! 😁 You’re officially stuck with me now! Haha
Have a wonderful day and thank you again!
Haha. I'm not stuck with you at all. I'm graced by your presence! So I'll consider myself fortunate! ❤
I'll reach out again when the SVG Tuts Crew community is live. Hm. I think I should announce it in my UA-cam posts now and add a "get notified when it's live" form.
My question is … does this go for what I am trying to do? I was making a design for a glass can tumbler for my daughter and I had duplicated the one design and I added butterflies. I’m not sure what all I had to do but when I got it to print then cut , it’s all there BUT the butterflies didn’t print out with the design
Thanks for your question.
Did you attach the butterflies with the rest of the design before clicking _Make It_ ?
Hello, I hope you got this worked out. I was waiting on a reply to my question. If you still need help, please reach out and let me know.
Omg you saved my life lol
Hello, and thanks for watching and commenting. I'm glad the video helped! I appreciate your time.
Thank you! Till I watched your video, this was all smoke and mirrors. I could not make it work no matter how many videos I watched. Then I found yours. I’ve even just calibrated my Cricut Maker. Aren’t I brave!😅
You are brave! 🙂 Thanks so much for watching and commenting. I'm so glad the video helped you with Print Then Cut.
So if I import a .svg or .png do I have to flatten as well for it to not cut out each line?
Hello, and thank you for your question.
PNGs are, by default, flat files. SVGs can be either flat or layered.
Stand by, and I'll make a quick video.
Hello, apologies for the long wait. I have created the video to accompany my written reply. Give it about 20 minutes to be fully available in HD, as right now it's blurry. Here's the link ua-cam.com/video/LvLtDbakAHk/v-deo.html.
Please reach out if you have any other questions!
Just to confirm , there is no need to hit the attach button for it to not cut everything you just need to select group and flatten? Thank you
Hello, thanks for your question.
You do not necessarily need to GROUP, but you do need to FLATTEN.
I would recommend clicking ATTACH even if you FLATTEN just to stay in the habit of ATTACHing before you go to MAKE IT.
Here's one of my videos where I explain the difference between GROUP and FLATTEN and how to FLATTEN the right way ua-cam.com/video/T00u1kPP3C8/v-deo.html.
If I haven't answered your question, please let me know so I can explain it more clearly.
@@SVGTutsthank you that helps a lot
I'm so glad it's helpful. You are welcome. 🙂
is grouping the same thing as attached?
Thanks for your question.
Think of GROUP as one language and ATTACH as a totally different language.
Cricut Design Space speaks GROUP.
Your Cricut machine speaks ATTACH.
GROUPing is a virtual thing you do in Cricut Design Space to keep several parts of a whole together, but GROUPing means absolutely nothing to your Cricut cutting machine. That's because your Cricut cutting machine doesn't know what GROUP means.
WHEN you choose ATTACH in Cricut Design Space imagine CDS saying, "Oh, that's nothing to do with me, but I can pass the message on to your Cricut cutting machine, and it'll know what to do with it."
GROUPing, Part 1... In Cricut Design Space, for example, you may have a square with a circle inside of it and then some text inside of the circle. You select them all, go to ALIGN at the top of Cricut Design Space and hover down with your mouse (track pad or whatever you use) until you see CENTER to center the text within the circle and the text and circle within the square, and you think, "Perfect! Stay that way while I move you over to the right (or left) side of the canvas so I can work on something else." Before you move your perfectly-centered objects, you choose GROUP to keep the three objects together as you move them to one side or the other of the canvas.
GROUPing, Part 2... After moving your first group over to one side, you now want to make a circle with a square inside of it and then some text inside the square. You select them all, go to ALIGN at the top of Cricut Design Space and hover down until you see CENTER to center the text within the square and the text and square within the circle, and you again think, "Love it! Stay that way." So you choose GROUP to keep the three objects together.
You then bring GROUP #1 closer to GROUP #2 and select them both...
ATTACHING... At this point, you're ready to bring your design to life on your Cricut cutting machine. With both groups selected, you move your cursor down to the bottom-right of Cricut Design Space and click ATTACH.
After you go up to the top-right of Cricut Design Space and click MAKE IT, then you will see your designs appear in the way they appeared on the screen before. Without ATTACH, even if you have grouped things, when you get to the PREPARE YOUR MATS screen, all your objects will appear as if they exist separate from one another.
So...
GROUP is virtual and something you do in Cricut Design Space to keep things orderly for your own purposes.
ATTACH is the command to your Cricut cutting machine to do the job in the appearance and placement that you desire.
I hope this is helpful, and thanks again for your question.
I am trying to do print and cut for iron ons with no offset. I want it to cut around the image how would I do that?
Hello, Andrea. Is the image one complete object, or does it have separate pieces to it, like things are not overlapping?
@@SVGTuts I had ran into both situations.
If you want everything cut out, then do not flatten anything.
@@SVGTuts thank you
You're most welcome.
I added an offset to a design. Design Space decided that the offset needed a color. How do I get rid of the color so all I have is a stroke?
Hello, thanks for your question.
When you add an offset, you're not just adding a stroke. You're making a duplicate of the design you have with the offset being just a bit larger than the original design.
If you just want a stroke, you will need to select the original design and the offset and then SLICE.
Keep in mind that you can only SLICE two layers at a time. If your design has multiple layers, you'll need to set the offset for the widest layer [hopefully that will be the bottom layer of your design] and then select that one layer and the offset and SLICE. Once you've done the SLICE, you can delete the part of the offset you don't want and keep what's left, which will be the stroke.
I hope this is helpful. Please reach out if you have any other questions!
Apologies for the delay in creating this visual of what I explained in my written comment ua-cam.com/video/4NcoAN4Qo2s/v-deo.html.
