This video has just elevated me to a new level with my cricut machines. I have ordered everyone of them and cannot wait to use them Thank you so much for taking the time to share ❤🎉😊
This video is exactly what I was looking for! I really needed an explanation for each blade and you nailed it!!!! Thank you so much for the great explanations!
What a useful video!!! Thanks :) I just wanted to say 1 thing. I am a teacher so I can't help myself... perforation is pronounced purr-fuh-ration. No hate or shade!
Just brought the engraving tool and the embossing tool, so this video has been very helpful, you always explain things very well, thank you so much for this wonderful video and tips and info!!! Hugs Liz x
Thank you so much for this video. I am rather new to the cricut world and have been totaly confused about the blades and what they do. This was a lifesaver.
Amazing video! I had no idea! I just got my cricut and am trying to find graphics and how to use design space. I have made some labels, but struggle knowing what cutting option to use for the 3 vinyls I have. I have to cut over 2 times so the vinyl will cut through. The permanent shimmer option does not cut shimmer vinyl. 😕 This is frustrating
Hi, II'm wondering to buy a new knife blade. Is it possible if I use the same housing from the fine-point blade? If so, it would be better for me. Thank you in advance
I've been debating getting the engraving tool, or the foil tool. I've had my machine almost a year and have been having a blast with it. I finally cut some fabric with the rotary blade even!
@vulgarshots I made a friend of mine t shirts and caps for her small business. As far as anything else, no. But part of that is people want the resin tumblers now. I don't have the things to do that, and it does t really involve the cricut. Or they want sublimation. I dont have items for that either.
@@vickiel914 nice. I am currently in the process of making a puzzle. I have my image, I have my maker setup. But apparently my blade is missing the gold gear top? The gears on the maker have nothing to grab, so it won’t cut. I guess I’m searching for that piece.
Good video, but I didn't see where your explained the difference between the silver and gold BLADES. I saw what your said about the different housing, but wanted to hear the difference between the gold premium blade and the fine point blade, other than the price. TIA!
Hi Lorri! They are the same thing so no need to get both. Cricut simply changed the housing to gold. The Premium Fine Point Blade comes in either the gold or the silver housing. - Dawn
@@DesignBundles Hi Dawn. My daughter gifted me the foiling tool and three boxes of different small fouls,like maybe 4x4 size pieces. To me it looks like it might kinda like emboss the foil onto something.
We've read that Cricut often does often make different variations of the housing, but it's the blade that matters for the cut. and not the housing color - Dawn
Good day. I hope you can help me. I have a project I want to make. I want to cut out a circle with a dragonfly on the edge of the circle but when I cut it out with my cricut explore air 2 it cuts the dragonfly in half where the circle and dragonfly overlap.
I bought a new brand of glitter vinyl and all I got was a mess with my fine tip blades and it gunked up the housing that now I have to replace. No way to open it up and clean it out. Which housing and blades will be best for glitter vinyl? Right now that is what I cut most often. Thanks.
Hi just wondering if anyone can help. I have a new blade that came with the explore 3 and I'm trying to do kiss cut stickers on vinyl sticker paper. I've tried various settings and custom setting at the lightest pressure at 70 but it still cuts all the way through the backing. Any advice would be much appreciated 😁
@@DesignBundles Hi thanks for getting back to me, I've tried sticky notes, washi tape, washi sheet settings also a custom setting on the lowest allowed pressure same result
Why does everyone on UA-cam have this same infomercial look? I guess the company is pretty demanding when they shill their products…. Not one video by is actually helpful I think I’m returning this thing…
A new subbed and a brand new Cricut Maker 3 on my table, now I´m wondering why some blades have 30° - 45° and 65° angle? is that something that I have to think very hard about when buying new blades? Loved tis video and learned a lot. Thank you all the way from cold Iceland.
Getting ready to sell one of my Cricut machines, and came across a housing that is teal in color. I have no clue what it is for. Your can also twist the top, and has settings numbered 1-6. Is this possibly a discontinued blade?
Hi, your video was extremely helpful. I am new to the cricut world and can't wait to start creating all sorts of things. I have a few questions. can I deboss leather with debossing tool and then use foil tool to make it stand out? or does foil tool do both? thank you in advance 😊
Hi, great video.. you mentioned a bonding to put on your fabric to keep it nice and steady for when its time to cut it. I cannot find the link to the product you mentioned we should use. Can you suggest something for me? Thank you in advance :D
Oh My Goodness!! You are thee best and such a lifesaver with this very informative video, as a matter fact, your video is the best out of all the videos that I have come across when it comes to explaining the Cricut blades! Thank You!
Thank you so much for your kind words! We're glad we could help and if there is anything else we can do for you, just ask! We are here if you need us! - Dawn
Hi Ty! The Cricut Engraving Tip is only compatible with the Cricut Maker machine because the Maker is the only machine that uses the Adaptive Tool System and can apply the amount of pressure necessary to engrave. - Dawn
The rotary blade is also what you use when you cut crepe paper for making flowers. It is the only blade that really does a great job for this
Hi dear, this was one of best reviews I have had regarding Cricut, clear and up to the point, thanks.

Exactly the information I needed. Thanks!
Yay!! your welcome
What a useful video!!! Thanks :) I just wanted to say 1 thing. I am a teacher so I can't help myself... perforation is pronounced purr-fuh-ration. No hate or shade!
Lol thank you Amy! We appreciate it 😊 - Dawn
I was just about to say the exact same thing! Perforation not preforation.
Just brought the engraving tool and the embossing tool, so this video has been very helpful, you always explain things very well, thank you so much for this wonderful video and tips and info!!! Hugs Liz x
You always offer good information, thank you.
Great video. I am new to Cricut maker, and needed more info on the different blades, and when to use them.

Which blades or tools can fit into the same housing?
Can someone please tell me if the fine point blade still fits the older expression machine? Thank you.
Hi, II'm wondering to buy a new knife blade. Is it possible if I use the same housing from the fine-point blade? If so, it would be better for me. Thank you in advance
Color me informed! This was very helpful. I had no idea there were that many blades. Wow!
Hi Lynne! So happy you found it helpful! - Agata
Wish you did it a year ago😅 brilliant explanation
Does Maker 3 comes with Blade and QuickSwap in the box, or I need to buy separately?
Can the deep point blade cut through thin acrylic sheet?
Do yiu know if the is an alternative blade to fit the older machine Cricut create
I don’t know if you’ll see this lol but can any of the blades for the cricut maker cut acrylic?
I love this video! Thank you very much
Hi Laurie! Thank you so much! - Agata

Sounds great Vickie! So glad you are having fun with it! - Agata
Make any money with it?

@@vulgarshots which blade are you using?
Awesome. Thank you 😊
Hi Dyonna - Happy to help - Agata
Can you foil on card stock
Good Morning do you have a pdf with all this good info on it ?
What blades come with the maker 3 ?
Good video, but I didn't see where your explained the difference between the silver and gold BLADES. I saw what your said about the different housing, but wanted to hear the difference between the gold premium blade and the fine point blade, other than the price.
TIA!
Hi Lorri! They are the same thing so no need to get both. Cricut simply changed the housing to gold. The Premium Fine Point Blade comes in either the gold or the silver housing. - Dawn
What angle # is a fine point blade
I have the foiling tool and I was wondering if you could share how I would foil and cut say earrings. Thank you
Hi Kat! Are you using foil vinyl or a foil transfer kit? - Dawn
@@DesignBundles Hi Dawn. My daughter gifted me the foiling tool and three boxes of different small fouls,like maybe 4x4 size pieces. To me it looks like it might kinda like emboss the foil onto something.
About the stylus tool...is that a tool that goes where pens go?... I know...but newby here 🙃
Lol yes! And don't worry, we were all new once! - Dawn
Hello, thank you first of all. I want to ask a question. Is the housing of rotary blade suitable with 041 gravur blade? Thanks a lot.
Hi there! Do you have the Cricut Maker? - Dawn
Thank you for this info. I was under the impression the gold housing one cuts better for intricate cuts, that’s not true?
We've read that Cricut often does often make different variations of the housing, but it's the blade that matters for the cut. and not the housing color - Dawn
@@DesignBundles thank you. I did buy it so I will take your suggestion and use 1 color for each that’s a great idea :)
Good day. I hope you can help me. I have a project I want to make. I want to cut out a circle with a dragonfly on the edge of the circle but when I cut it out with my cricut explore air 2 it cuts the dragonfly in half where the circle and dragonfly overlap.

Right now that is what I cut most often. Thanks.
PERferation not PREFeration.
Do we need to use cricut brand always?
Hi Karen! No! You can use off brand as well from Amazon! - Dawn
@DesignBundles What's a good dupe for the engraving blade?? Lol I want to purchase one but $48 is a bit much for me at the moment! Thank you!
Hi just wondering if anyone can help. I have a new blade that came with the explore 3 and I'm trying to do kiss cut stickers on vinyl sticker paper. I've tried various settings and custom setting at the lightest pressure at 70 but it still cuts all the way through the backing. Any advice would be much appreciated 😁
Hi there! What is the setting you are using to cut your sticker? It sounds like too much pressure! - Dawn
@@DesignBundles Hi thanks for getting back to me, I've tried sticky notes, washi tape, washi sheet settings also a custom setting on the lowest allowed pressure same result
Does anybody have a shorter video they could share?
LIKE 👍 👍 👍 👍 👍 🤩 🤩 🤩 🤩 🤩💖💖 💖💖
It's perforate, not preforate.
You feel better??
Why does everyone on UA-cam have this same infomercial look? I guess the company is pretty demanding when they shill their products…. Not one video by is actually helpful I think I’m returning this thing…
Huh, just pay attention lmao 😂
Thanks for a great video-
Which blade should I buy for heavy chipboard? Deep (the black one) or knife blade? Are they both the same?

Super informative, thank you! This is one to save. (Ps. It's PER-forate, not PREF-orate.)

You are so good at your presentations just one idea I would like to see the tool points in a closeup shot.
I will work on that thank you 😊

nice review , so amazing I really. like it
Great info. A lot of repeating the same info sometimes 3-4 times so video could be a lot shorter. Otherwise thank you for such great info.
Thank you for watching today and for the feedback! - Dawn
Hi, great video.. you mentioned a bonding to put on your fabric to keep it nice and steady for when its time to cut it. I cannot find the link to the product you mentioned we should use. Can you suggest something for me? Thank you in advance :D
Following as I was looking for the link to the bonding as well. Thanks.

Does the engraving tip work with the Cricut Explorer 3?
Hi Ty! The Cricut Engraving Tip is only compatible with the Cricut Maker machine because the Maker is the only machine that uses the Adaptive Tool System and can apply the amount of pressure necessary to engrave. - Dawn
@@DesignBundles Thank you!
so helpful!!!
Do I need to purchase the deep point blade with the housing or can I just buy the blades and use them in my fine point blade housing?
Hi there! Just to double check, which Cricut machine are you using?
@@DesignBundles The maker
@@DesignBundles hi same question but in explorer air 2
Following for maker 3
Ive been searching online and my question is still unanswered. Could a 60° blade work on a premium fine point blade?
