I needed to identify my hat and I chose to do it with the help of my Cricut Expression Machine.
On the keypad of the Cricut Machine, I selected the letters to be used, in this case L and P.
To add depth to my work I used the Cricut Color on the cotton fabric and proceeded as follows:
- First replace the cutting blade with the brown Cricut Color and mark both letters on the fabric. For this purpose I selected Speed 3 and Pressure 2. Note that after placing the fabric on the cutting mat I also secured it with a piece of blue painters’ masking tape.
- Leaving the cutting mat in this same position, carefully replace the Cricut Color with the cutting blade. Do not move the gray carriage.
- Then, press the “Load Paper” button again and also the “Repeat Last” button. Activate the cut key and the result is what you see on the picture below.
Changing the Blade
TIPS: Secure fabricon the cutting mat with blue painters’ masking tape to avoid fabric movement and torn fabric.
I have found it is preferable to replace a blade before pressing the load botton again. This way it prevents moving the work from its initial position.
Finished Product
Note: The beige letters now outlined with the brown “Cricut Color” give an embroidered look of depth. People have asked me if the embroidery was hard to do and I just give them a “Cricut Wink” and say not really!
