I made a light blue night shirt as a gift, and I wanted to monogram it to make it special.
I wanted to put just one large A on my gift.
Reverse A cut from fabric.
To cut the letter A out of fabric, I used symphony broadcloth. I applied the “Heat n Bond” ultra hold on the wrong side of the fabric. Then setting my Cricut Expression at a pressure of 4, speed 3 and depth 4, I cut the letter “A”. Note that for this purpose I put the fabric with the right side on the cutting mat having the Heat n Bond facing up. I then used the reverse feature (the FLIP button) on my Cricut Expression Machine that way the letter A was cut backwards.
Then once it is ready to iron on the night shirt, it is properly positioned, right side up.
Tip: I always use the same blade to cut fabric. It is a blade I save only for the purpose of cutting fabric. The benefit of a dedicated blade is a better cut.
- Ironing the letter A on right side up, will give you the finished project.
