[Video]Cut Fabric with your Cricut!!

Have you ever wanted to learn how to cut fabric with your Cricut machine?

Now's your chance - I have a video showing you how to do this below!

Today's "Trick or Treat" bag was made using the Close to My Heart Artbooking Cricut cartridge.  I made the following cut from the cartridge:

And then I got started on making my "Trick or Treat" bag (bag from Hobby Lobby).

Here's how to cut fabric in the Cricut:
1) Wash and dry fabric.  Then, using heavy starch, iron the fabric on high heat with no steam.  Iron item you are adhering the cut to.
2) Iron Heat 'n Bond onto fabric.  Be sure and follow directions on package of Heat 'n Bond (lower setting on iron to medium, no steam).
3) Cut "trick or treat" out from the Close to My Heart Artbooking Cricut cartridge at 8-3/4" REAL dial size using the following settings: Blade at 6, Pressure at 6, speed at 3 and multi-cut it 2 times.  If using the Cricut Explore, set dial to "Fabric". Fabric will be up on the mat, paper backing down on the mat.
4) Pull off paper backing on cut. Then iron as directed on Heat 'N Bond packaging.  DO NOT OVER IRON - sticky goes away if you do this!

Cutting and adhering literally took 15 minutes.  The most time consuming part was washing and drying the fabric beforehand.

Baby Onesie with Cricut Paper Trimmings Cartridge

 This cute baby boy onesie went together in a flash with the new Cricut Circle Paper Trimmings cartridge.  This cartridge is exclusive to the Cricut Circle members.  They've had some great cartridges lately - last quarter's was Sophie and it was beautiful! To find out more info about the Cricut Circle, click HERE.

Here's a close up of that Cricut Paper Trimmings cartridge:

I got this onesie at Walmart for around $3, the Heat 'n Bond and the fabric in their fabric department.

Here's the instructions from there:

1. Iron fabric using heavy starch.  Iron onesie where image will go. Then, Iron Heat ‘n Bond onto back of 6” x 6” square of yellow fabric and onto back of 6” x 6” square of blue fabric.
2. Set the blade at 6”, speed at 3 and pressure at 6.  Multi-cut 2x. Using Cricut Paper Trimmings cartridge, cut Moon at 3” using the yellow fabric.   Cut Moon-s at 3” using blue fabric. Remove paper backing.
3. Iron on Moon and Moon-s according to package directions. Do NOT over-iron as it won’t stick.  (Ask me how I know...LOL!)
