If you've ever cut vinyl wrong and then went back and cut the same vinyl correctly, you probably noticed little cracks after heat pressing where the vinyl was cut and not weeded. You can use that to your advantage and combine it with the technique you demonstrated here. It makes weeding more difficult so you'd only want to use it for one-off special projects, but it will add a nice detail to the overall effect.

This was very helpful. Thanks!

This is so cool! I have a Cricut, and did not realize this could be done. And no idea it was so easy. Thanks for sharing a new technique!

Such a different video from flowers and birds... I am nothing against birds and flowers but it's great to see something different. Congrats!

I love doing this technique ❤️. Do it all the time in my Cricut 👍🏻

Just found your video.. THANK YOU.. never realized putting this on a warm mat is key to removing small pieces.. never knew this was a thing 😊.. wish I could add a pic.. my first attempt turned out dang good thanks to your vid

Thanks Starla!! Great job..

Thank you so much for this tutorial! Grunge fonts are a hot mess to weed. Your technique will be so much faster.

I’m pretty much new to all this but if you make a mistake on most software like Photoshop or whatever if you want to go back to the way it was all you need to do is Ctrl and Z to go back and you can keep pressing it and Ctrl Y forward if you went to far. Just some shortcuts hope this tip helps y’all and whoever else.

Hello! What is the "hot bed" you used for the easy weed technique in this video? Where could I find one? Thank you!

You can use a pressing pillow for this. Or a board wrapped in a Teflon sheet.

How would you do less speckle in cricut? As in the way you use despeckle in silhouette?

Thank you!!!! Recently bought a new printer and wanted to do some projects. This is exactly what I wanted! I'm so happy I cam across this video :) :)

So. How did you make BROCK on basketball? Awesome video by the way.

I noticed there was a step that was missed after you placed the cracked svg over the lettering on silhouette. What was that option you clicked, it was at the moment you thought the connection was lost.

She put the distressed image over the letters, selected the two, and the clicked subtract all :)

Is there a HTV that gives a more faded/transparent look? or is that only possible with screen printing?

We unfortunately don't have any that fade like what you are wanting. Screen printing might be what you will need to use.

I bought a roll of the reflective from you all and it comes off when washed. Pressed at 315 for 20 secs. Should I change my setting? We have to have reflective lettering on our fire department tees for night time calls. Screen printer company’s around us charge an arm and a leg for reflective and it really doesn’t work. Any help or advice is greatly appreciated 🙏🏼

The heat setting for the reflective vinyl is 305 for 10-15 seconds. Please to a do a test press at these settings.

You should use Bluetooth mics. They would be clearer sound and voices wouldn’t fade in and out because presenter is moving around.
