Oh my gosh!! THANK YOU so much!! I just tried to cut fabric with my Cricut and I about threw the machine at the wall!!! I tried putting card stock underneath the paper and it never occured to me that that wouldnt do anything to fix the shredding problem!!
Your video is a HUGE life (and machine) saver!! THANK YOU again for the tutorial!! I cant wait to go buy the webbing stuff!!

@ashpoe I used rayon for the cupcake top and had no problems with it shredding, the bottom was cotton and I cut it out by hand.

Was excited about cutting fabric because I do a lot of embroidery digitizing for applique & cutting the fabric pieces to make them fit is tedious. Made 3 cuts with best luck on the first. It went downhill. I cut the letter N from one of my computer fonts using the SCAL software. I think success depends on the complexity of the design and pure luck in getting your piece of fabric to stay stuck to the mat. Make sure when you cut a letter to flip it in your SCAL software. More later!

Hello, I am Completely a novice at this whole thing, and thanks to your video, I am going to attempt to try this using my cricut expressions in order to make a banner for my son’s t-ball team. I would like to make BIG letter for the banner…so I would need a ton of that Steam a Seam 2 for each letter, right?? How much would that cost? And its Blade 6, Pressure hi, and I want to make each letter 8″ (paper size)…do I need the painter’s tape? I am so nervous abou messing this up.

One more thing I just remembered!! Adhere fabric to mat successfully by using a straight edge or spatula from mat instruments. I rubbed the spatula over the fabric firmly quite a few times so that the fabric stayed adhered without the tape.
That all made it work for me…

Wanted to also let you know how I successful after trying several times and failing. I used the regular blade set at 6 in my expression machine with SPEED on 3 and pressure on Hi or Max. I ironed my fabric onto the SAS2 as directed. I took off the paper backing that was still on the webbing. Faced fabric web side down. Did not need to use flip button. After loading, I used the up/down arrow so there was fabric showing before the blade began to cut. Questions — let me know!!
