    LOVE LOVE LOVE that top shelf box for your "Projects". I have shoulder issues from reaching to high over my head. I'm thinking, a little fabric pull tab secured at the bottom front edge of my boxes on the top shelf might have saved my shoulder! May I ask WHERE did that box tray come from?

    Hi MaryLou. This is my first time to your channel. You are such a delight to watch. Where do you purchase your doll patterns ? I love to save tins and use them throughout my sewing room. Reminds me of my mom who used tins in her sewing room, especially for a large array of buttons. I'll have to check out your other videos.

  • @maryloubailey

    Welcome and thank you! My mom used tins in her sewing room too. I bought several doll patterns at the fabric store. My daughters and I scoured the "craft" part of the pattern books and picked out several when they were on sale for 99 cents and we've been using them for years. I also like the doll clothes books by JoAnn Hines. She has some great ideas.

    Mine freezes on a percentage while cutting and I just bought it brand new today

  • @maryloubailey
    @maryloubailey4 ай бұрын

    If you are talking about the size percentage of the image, you set that on the design screen (the one with the grid) before you cut. To change that, return to the design screen and make your changes. If it is cutting a different size than you set, THAT is a problem and you should contact Cricut costumer service right away. In the U.S. their number is (877) 727-4288. They are very helpful, but plan on waiting on hold for a long time. 🙁

    Hi MaryLou. I really enjoyed this video. I haven’t sewn in years but I noticed I was getting more pleasure from sewing smaller projects too. You do beautiful work. Love your organization drawers. My thought about the buttons: I like how you sort by colour. I was thinking for all the other novelty packages you could sort by colour too. Eliminating the packaging would help with not feeling like there is so much. So have all the yellow round buttons in a pack then the yellow (or dominant colour yellow) oddly shaped buttons in their own pack. Sounds like a fun sorting project for Anne! Take care 💛

  • @maryloubailey
    @maryloubailey4 ай бұрын

    Thank you for your kind comments and Ideas. Anne and I are going to tackle those buttons soon and we will follow your suggestion. You are right that packaging does take up so much room and adds to the feeling of too much. I'll film the process so you can see our results.

  • @maryloubailey
    @maryloubailey5 ай бұрын

    There is usually a light cut into the mat with almost any material, but it shouldn't be deep and should not make removal from the mat difficult. If it is cutting very deeply it is cutting with too much pressure. You can go into the material screen (when you're in the cut section of Design Space) and lessen the pressure for any material. Click on the material and decrease the pressure in increments of 5. Do a small test cut at each level until it cuts the way you would like. Good luck. Don't give up. There is always a learning curve with any new crafting tool or device, but taking the time to figure it out is worth the trouble.

  • @maryloubailey
    @maryloubailey5 ай бұрын

    I have found that glitter vinyl is always hard to cut. You can go into the materials screen and increase the cut pressure for that one material. They say to increase just 5 increments at a time, but there have been times I've had to increase the pressure 50 more than the set amount. A new blade also helps. You can also set it up for a much heavier material, like heavy acetate , and do an experimental cut with that. An email to Cricut service asking about the new material may help. Good luck!
