Testing your Cricut Maker
Test Cuts
Test cuts are important, especially if you are not using Cricut's materials. The type of material you are using will impact the quality of your cuts. Some materials, like regular vinyl, are more forgiving, while others, like glitter iron-on and glitter cardstock, require extra attention.
When making a test cut, ensure that your mat is sticky enough to prevent the material from moving and getting damaged. Additionally, a newer blade will cut better than a heavily used one. If you are using blades like the knife and rotary blade, your images should not be smaller than 3/4".
For machines with a "Smart Set Dial", move it to custom and select the material from Design Space. You can also adjust the pressure settings for better results. Place the material on the mat, secure it, load it into your Cricut machine, and press the flashing go button to start the cut.
Calibration
Before beginning the calibration process, ensure that your Cricut Maker is paired with your mobile device or computer. You will need to sign in to the Cricut Design Space app and select the calibration settings. Print the calibration sheet, place it on the machine mat as shown on the screen, and follow the prompts to complete the calibration process.
Testing Different Materials
The Cricut Maker has been tested on a variety of materials, including different fabrics and papers. For example, when cutting quilted double knit fabric, the Heavy Fabric setting worked better than the Double Knit setting. When cutting construction paper, the Regular Mat setting caused some issues, and a different setting might be preferred.
Felt is another material that has been tested with the Cricut Maker. Cricut recommends no curves less than 3/4 of an inch with the rotary blade to avoid issues. For chenille, the Medium Fabric setting left a few strings attached, while the Heavy Fabric setting provided better results.
First Project
After setting up your Cricut Maker, you can follow the instructions at design.cricut.com/setup to create your first project and become familiar with the designing process. You will make your very first cut with the materials provided in the box, allowing you to choose the correct automated material settings.
