Ohhh refresher, I was like what? I’m completely new
What would be great for a beginner’s tutorial, is an explanation of what each part of DS does….eg welding, attaching, etc, and when or why to use it…that is the most confusing part for me as a beginner…you tell what to use, but don’t explain why or what each function….so I don’t know the right steps…very intimidating
Jennifer, you are a natural teacher and soo likeable. If you're a horrible person in real life I never want to know because i'd be crushed! 🤣 You're awesome. Thanks for all you do for us❣️
Thank You! I love watching and learning from you. I am just starting and learning so much!

Just got the Circut maker 3 for Christmas and your tutorial made it super easy to put as many labels in the sample canvas sheet it comes with so I already started labeling things around the house. Can't wait to learn how to do the kind of stuff you have on your background!!!
Thank you for being so encouraging & for taking the time to keep us newbies onboard. I usually just try to “figure it out”😅but with your direction & advice I have saved a ton of time, money, & years of my life 😂. Be Well!

I hope you’ve opened up your Cricut by now and tried out some projects. I started with HTV, then went to vinyl adhesives, then to card-making. I hope you’re experimenting with your machine. 👍🏼
Thanks Jennifer! I’ve been a bit intimidated since my husband got the cricut for me for Christmas. I feel much better now getting started!
That was awesome! I just opened my new Cricut and made lots of mistakes. Fortunately, my hubby found you and sent me the link! So extremely helpful!!!

All good tips and tricks. Thank you. PS there is a lip on the top lid of the larger machines which work as a holder for the mats. I found this hack on tiktok and helps with lining up the mats when replacing the protective sheet😊

I love your tutorials and sharing the great tips on helping get the most out of my cricut! Love the compactness of the xtra with the capability of the regular cricut! We love love love stickers and customizing our own. Enjoyed your comparison on waterproofing stickers! I work as a nurse at a day surgery unit. We at times have pediatric pts and need to customize our giveaways from adults to children. If I got this cricut joy xtra, I would use it to make stickers for our pediatric patients for their water cups and iron ons their belongings bag!
I’ve been using Cricut since 2018 and did not know about Ctrl-2 until just now! Thank you for your videos!!

I am not a crafter, yet. However, I decided to invest in the Cricut Maker 3 fabric cutting bundle. It's a very nice product. I'm impressed with the quality and ease-of-use. Interestingly, the tutorials did not show much about wood and fabric cutting. I needed to search for KZread presentations and books to begin learning what to do. One of your presentations appeared. Thank you for being an excellent teacher and writer. I'm looking forward to turning Maker 3 into a useful tool for my fabrication center. Your tutorials will make that possible. Thank you!

I learned some things that I REALLY appreciate you saying. I've had my Explore 2 for a few years. Biggest issue with the mats. I'm in bed a lot and I have dogs. The cricut and mats are on a clean shelf but despite all my carefulness, I still end up with dog hair. I tried the wipes, doesn't work for me. I have lots of mats (green) just bought several more and this hair issue even though I did it all on the clean shelf, not sure if hair coming off my pj's or what. Should I use the scraper or is there a better way? I saw you said detergent and warm water. I'll try that. I don't want to throw them out. I subscribe to Design Space Access for the monthly fee. My Cricut helps me with depression and gets the creative juices going. I'm disabled with chronic pain. My absolute favorite is Holographic vinyl! Is it okay to use it for a bumper sticker? I live in a state with all 4 seasons full on. Usually not much below zero but snow, in summer hot and humid. I just loved your tutorial. Best one yet and I could relate to everything you said. Thank you soooooo much! I have probably under 10 people I subscribe to all together, not just Cricut. Thank you for the roller tip as well. I was just putting on the mat and by hand securing it. Love the foil thing. I didn't think about the adhesive being on the blade. I use a LOT of vinyl and just hate that I can't get intricate cuts without it making a huge mess. Replacing has been my Go to but that foil! Definitely doing that. Sorry for the novel I just wrote to you. Thank you for your time! You're the BEST!
Thanks for all these tips
