I use that same theory when cutting infusible ink. Place a shape around each color, multiply by there and attach. Cuts all the way through to the carrier sheet. This is genius for HTV. Thank you.

Hi Angie! Hey - I have an intricate weeding HTV design and I remembered this video. When I went to it, I realized that the design I want to do, is the opposite -- where I need to LEAVE the small pieces in my design. (I made this last year and this is an update. What i did was weed the best I could the first time around and then the names (yes they are names of football players) that were messed up i completely took off my HTV. Then, I took my design in design space and made shapes to hide the names that i didn't need to recut - and then cut the ones I still need a second time but they were alone on the HTV so I could weed the names 'alone'. Then I pressed the first go at weeding (after removing the names that didn't turn out), and then I did a second press of the ones I had to redo. THAT.WAS.A. LOT.OF.WORK.AND.SO.MUCH.TIME.!!!! I'm wondering if your amazing brain had any other ideas that I could try.......I don't know if I have overdone it today - but I'm at a loss. How can I upload a pic of the design to show you what I mean? Sorry so long! Thanks in advance! ~Christine

Thank you!

I always assumed that distressed designs were a no-go for HTV-just made sense to do them with sublimation instead. But I’m intrigued. 🤔 Also, those shirts are nice. 😊

Thanks for the vid! FYI the comparison you did at around the 7 minute mark uses two patterns, and the pattern on the left (which performed better) might have not only been a function of the number of iterative cuts but ALSO the fact this other pattern has longer continuous geometries cut. The tiny dots are harder for the machine to cut, so these results may be slightly biased by the patterns used. It would be interesting to compare the "floral" design at 3 cuts and the "dots" design at 5 cuts to see how they measure up against each other in THAT case.

Awesome! I am about to make a vintage/distressed shirt and was wondering how I could do this exact technique.

@AngieHolden I saw this one awhile back, thank you. I do have an unrelated question: I feel, that even though the mats are eventually disposable, there has to be a less damaging way of removing any products "bits" without scraping a mat, which seems to remove the adhesive coatings. Washing also seems to do that!! I wish someone would find something that is less damaging to the mats or cricut should develop a longer lasting adhesive. All of these crafters dumping these mats into our landfills can not be good! Cricut needs to fix that.

@AngieHolden after awhile I have noticed my adhesive is speckled looking after washing my mats two to three times, using just a sponge & warm water. That is what is causing them to not be as sticky because there seems to be small areas with adhesive and without adhesive. I don't craft a huge amount either. Biggest project was 120 poppies, lol. So I'm just frustrated that the adhesive doesn't hold up better.

I love the frilly TN shirt!

I love the second design you showed (like the one on your shirt). Is there any way to use the design that was left on that mat? It was equally pretty and seems a shame to waste it.

You could use a heat transfer mask UNDER the sheet when cutting. Then maybe don't cut through that and use it to transfer?

When you mentioned "just scrape those away later" with regards to removing the weeded bits left on the mat, I'm curious about how well that part works. I figure the mat is sticky and won't want to let those go easily - can you really scrape them? Or does it turn into a matter of picking each piece off one by one (in which case you're still doing manual weeding, right)? I get lots of re-use out of my mats, so I'd hate to damage them & their sticky surface with scraping (and definitely don't want to just throw away) - but I've never tried scraping them
