I loved you kept the part where the transfer tape slipped out of your hand and showed us how to fix it.

[cindifairchild]

Thank you for showing the moment so we know how to fix it when it happens to us. Love the medium tack transfer tape and the Starcraft vinyl. Both are game changers for me, thanks to you.

Michael don’t be so hard on yourself! True Crafters don’t expect perfection! Thanks for being YOU...amazingly wonderful!

[nicoledavis]

That slip of the decal was probably a blessing in disguise because you taught everyone how to salvage the project. It happens, don't stress!

[karynlattimore-el]

Love how you showed the steps to save.

[jamainebrasseaux]

Love the “leave a quarter inch uncovered” hint.

[rosanneheller]

I also want to say: A truly remarkable teacher is human. Having an oops moment is very helpful. You are truly remarkable!

[teresah]

Faux pas happen. Thank you for showing how to correct them; that was very helpful, Michael!

[pattishelton]

Parchment paper, wow! This is a great tip. Thanks.

[conniereeves]

Being a new maker, I have watched a ton of videos. I have never found any one who explains their actions so well. You are a marvelous teacher. Most just talk atvwarp speed and say "click this, click that." So glad I found you. ❤

[milliemendez]

I'm new to the cricut world. I just bought the cricut joy and cant wait to use it. I'm binging all of your videos before I start playing with my joy. I just downloaded the app on my phone. Wish me luck!!!

[ericaporter]

I Love How You Laid It On The Transfer Tape, I'm Watching While Using My Cricut For The First Time.

[sharonwood]

So cool that you showed us how to fix the slip. Thank you

[leeyadrick]

I agree with the last comment! Thanks for showing how to salvage a product like that!

[carlyturow]

I had to subscribe to your channel. You are a good teacher and I am new to Cricut.. I bought the Cricut Joy to start and just got my Cricut Explore 3. I am excited to learn with you..

[pudlajello]

Just found you! just purchased my cricut Joy and Im so excited !

[rennieneasey-oconnell]

What a great tutorial! And I think it’s great that you showed us how to ‘rescue’ a potential disaster, instead of editing it out! I’m subscribing!

[JewelrybyJeanette]

It turned out great! I'm glad you left the mistake in. We all make them, and it was helpful to see how you trouble-shoot when things go wrong. Maybe if you slid the parchment paper out a little at a time while burnishing, it would prevent that type of mishap. Thanks so much for the tutorial!

[SuperDianaD]

I don't have a Joy, but all the tips and tricks come in handy. SO nice to see a pro have a boo-boo and actually show it, without editing it out. I find it interesting that the vinyl doesn't shift around while cutting, without a sticky mat. You ROCK Michael. Love the tray, but love it even more with the wording.
