I am new to this whole cricut maker thing and cutting with it. I bought a used cricut years ago when they first came out. I lost interest because I just couldn't afford all the cartridges so I was limited as to what I could do. I am so thankful I found your video. I am pretty good at computers but making svg's really was confusing for me. Give me a messed up photo and I can almost fix that with my eyes closed. LOL I have watched so many videos and even tried a few programs that convert files for you. Those did not work for me. Your video was so easy to follow and not rushed like many I have seen. I've subscribed now and will look forward to watching more of your lessons. Thank you so much! Come be my neighbor!!!LOL
Thank you so much!! I really appreciate you comment. :) Let me know if you are having trouble with how to do something, maybe I can help!
I have watched many very elaborate tutorials on this same subject.
I love this simplified tutorial.
Thank you so much!!
This has got to be the BEST video I've seen about converting a JPG into a layered SVG!! Glad I found you; thank you.
Thank you so much! I really appreciate that!
I've had my Cricut forever and just started using it. Awesome tutorial. Simple and very easy to understand and follow. Thank you.
You're welcome...and thank you so much!!
Wow! A light bulb moment! Thank goodness I found you. It was doing My head in. You’re explanations are so easy to follow. Thank you so much
Thank you so much! I'm so glad it was helpful!!
This was perfect and explained the process incredibly well. After a bit of trial and error with the conturing feature, I picked it up quickly and WOW - GAME CHANGER.
Awww thank you so much!!
Wow, you have quite a gift in instructing. I am very tech savvy but for some reason I've always been intimidated by certain functionality in Design Space but not anymore. You really make it simplistic and explain things very well. I found you on Skill Share and your lessons in AI are exactly what I needed. Thank you so much!
Wow, thank you so much! What a sweet comment - I really appreciate it!!
Amazing. Thank you. You have made a seemingly complex process understandable. I’m a Cricut newbie but very ‘techie’ and computer literate but for the life of me couldn’t understand most of the crafty type videos out there. A breath of fresh air!
Thank you so much! That really means a lot!
Glad I found your video. Thank you for making this complex idea super easy to understand/follow. I'm feeling confident enough to try this on a PNG image I recently saved for Cricut project!
You're welcome - that's so great to hear!
Thank you so much for this tutorial!!! As I'm totally new to Cricut, this is super helpful!! I'm so glad I've found your tutorial!!!
You're welcome! My channel has lots of tutorials geared towards beginners. Let me know what you want to learn, and I might be able to create a tutorial for it!
You do a fantastic job with your tutorials! So clearly explained. Much appreciated!
Thank you so much!
Wow. You made this process so clear!
Thank you so much!!
Awesome! Great tutorial. Thank you 😊
You're welcome! And thank you so much!
That was so awesome. You did a great job at explaining how to do this. TY so much !
Thank you - I'm so glad it was helpful!!
Thank you so much for your tutorial
You're welcome 😊
This helped me out so much, thank you.. but how would we get rid of the square, or will we just have to leave it and have the square cut as well?
You're welcome! I usually leave the square too; that way you can line up the layers easily after they've cut.
@@SVGCF that's so smart lol, thank you
@@jasminethompson8808 aw thank you!
Thank you so much for this my question is at that point once you’re done would you just save it as a PDF file and then pull it into whatever laser software that use personally I use lightburn
You can try that! I'll have to test this (I have a feeling you'll lose the 'vector' aspects).
@@SVGCF you can do a print and instead of printing it if you have Adobe on your computer it should give you a print pdf option and what it will do is convert it to a pdf and not actually print it. I have the whole Adobe suite in my computer but I think you just need reader.
I finally was able to get this to work on Mac, but when exporting to PDF, you will lose your cut lines (it is converted to a raster format). So you would need to create cut lines again inside Lightburn.
@@SVGCFglad it worked.
@@SVGCF I’m fine with have ti have it retraced in lightburn I just love the fact of how you can separate the file into layers like that. I usually do it in photoshop Duplicating the file for each layer and then using the paint with a combination of the magic erase tool which can take some time to do. The way you showed would be much quicker. Lol
I just started working on svg's and iron ons and was so lucky to find your channel for my first project. I followed all the steps, so clearly explained but to my dismay once I uploaded my image to the canvas I noticed some unwanted little spots that would affect the clean cutting of the image. All of this said: can you tell me if it's possible to go back and remove those unwanted spots and correct the jagged lines? Thank you!
Yes you can! If your file has layers, you can open your Layers panel, select the pieces you don't want and hit Delete. If it's a welded design, you can try this method: ua-cam.com/video/vEC26l5HWYY/v-deo.html
Excellent and simple example. I would like to add one more step to this example if possible. For 3D printing, i would like to have each layer in the SVG file at a different height. Each layer would be 1 mm thick. This would allow me to print each layer with a different filament color. Typically I am looking for 2 - 4 colors or layer/filament changes. I would then convert the SVG file to an STL file, slice the file in PrusaSlicer and set the filament changes for each 1 mm. Is this possible? Thanks David
I'm not familiar with STL files or the PrusaSlicer, but it sounds like it would work to me.
SVG is 2D, though. Doesn't your filament/layer material come at 1 mm thick already? If not, I would cut it all to that thickness first. Then you could use the SVG (STL) to cut through your 1 mm material.
Very well done!
Thank you very much!
Great tutorial
Thank you so much!!
Wow!
:D
Hi this is so confusing is there a program I can buy to change this easily or could I pay u to do this for me
I'm not taking on any extra freelance at the moment, but what part is confusing (min, sec) - where are you getting stuck?
What program is this so I can spend the next 8hrs getting frustrated. Lol I gotta project to work on
Cricut Design Space! :D
I have a question where do you find your images from what site?
Hi there! I'm a designer, so I make my own. :) I actually don't do this process for my own crafts.
How can a remove the square when I go to cut it?
Usually I keep the square so it's very easy to line up after cutting. But if you want to delete it, you can unweld - here's a video that shows that process: ua-cam.com/video/vEC26l5HWYY/v-deo.html
How would you do people and could you give a tutorial on how to layer that when you cut it
Do you mean like a photograph?
@@SVGCF yes
That's going to be a bit more challenging. I would use Adobe Illustrator to create a posterized version, then upload to cricut.
. thanks I don't have illustrator
@@JelscreationsNmore Oh ok I see! I think you can do something similar with Inkscape, which is free.
Are u on a MacBook?
Yes! But it should be the same process on Windows.
Contour is shaded and cannot be chosen as you show
It sounds like you may not have the design selected, or you're on the grouped layer. You'll want to choose a single layer on the right to get the contour button to be clickable.
Would be nice if ANYONE could actually do this without using an easy outlined image. What if an image doesn't have an outline??? Then what.
I'm not sure what you mean - can you link to an image example?
This is so helpful! Thank you so much!
You're welcome - I'm so glad it was helpful!
