Thank you!!! Best cricut tutorial I saw! Everyone else talks too much and are unable to get to the point! Thank you again! This is exactly what I was looking for!
This is the most helpful Cricut and craft foam video on KZread! Thanks for your help and my project worked perfectly xo
Found this excellent video which answered a lot of my questions regarding how to cut different MMs of foam with the Cricut Maker. The instructions were very clear, and I learned a great deal! Even learned about the Custom Materials setting - who knew?? Thank you so much for making this :)
Very informative video! I really like how you tested different settings instead of just relying on material presets. My takeaway is that I'm going to need a strong grip mat. I have a new Cricut maker for which I bought both a knife and deep cut blade. Foam slips way too much with a light grip mat but that and the fabric mat were the only ones included.
Love how thorough you were with this, showing all the changes in settings until you found the ones that worked best. This was very helpful - thank you!

This video was so helpful as I am trying to cut alphabet letters out of 2mm craft foam and I was having trouble. Thank you!
I have used foam sheets so much, probably cut out by hand more than 2,000+ small designs for bday parties BY HAND!! Omgosh, the time this thing would have saved me. Getting a cricut tomorrow, so exited

The video on cutting craft foam was fantastic! I had a question about the placement of the second object to be cut...when cutting paper it seems that Cricut Maker always goes back to cutting in the far upper left corner. With the foam video, you were able to cut to the right of that position...and with a third object cut further to the right without doing anything special. How did you do that? If you could tell me, I could also line up multiple stickers, etc. Many thanks, Cheryl Kerr

I'm sure it's too late now but I had the same problem. I found that sometimes when snapping my deep cut blade into the clamp it raises up slightly. Simply holding it downward while clamping it shut gets the blade lower and cuts through. Hope that makes sense!
