This is a great, comprehensive guide to help for cutting felt. Thank you so much! I find myself drawn to your tutorials because they're so helpful! 😊

[kittycutepaws]

Felt much better after watching your video. Thank you! ❤

[mawmann]

Wow! Your tutorial is very thorough, thank you!

[kriscook]

Super helpful. I'm planning to make a nerdy poodle skirt and this will help a ton. I can't believe that no one ever told me those little white things (star wheels) move. Thanks for sharing.

[jnjhawaii]

I never cut felt before this was great. The bunny faces are so cute 🥰

[myamazingcookbook]

first time cutting felt and this tutorial helped alot - you are so precise so its easy to follow and learn!!

[pinguinpinguin]

This is very helpful. Never realized That i have to move those white things. It explains a lot of my frustrations😅

[LisaVornhagen]

Thanks for the tip to move the wheels over when cutting felt. I haven't heard that one before.

[adrienneb]

Thank you so much! I just saw a felt project I’d like to try!

[kimzink]

I might have to try some of these projects they look like fun projects.

Would the steps be exactly the same on an explorer air 2? I'm hoping to double cut between my new maker three, but as I'm making a LOT of cuts for my daughter's GS troop, I'm hoping to get both machines working simultaneously

Hello Jennifer. I want to request a video on how to set up stickers with backing. Print and cut in the cricut machine. Thank you

[sherylloyd]

Hi jennifer, I have never cut anything before! Lol just got cricut air 2 from my sisters for my big 60 birthday on the 5th. You are an excellant teacher and have a great voice for teaching. I am going to cut out a simple bunny and the ears, all from felt. I "felt" so much more confident after watching your video. Another video said only use cricut felt so I was reluctant to go for it as my felt is not cricut felt.
My question is this, must I bond my craft felt? Again my cricut is an Air 2.
I would like to try your bunny project also if I can find the materials.
Thanks. Sheryl

If your mats aren’t as sticky anymore a rotary blade works best lol 😂 I’ve tried both. Wool cuts like butter but acrylic/polyester takes a few passes

[TraceP]

Thank you Jennifer ! I really have a hard time with felt and the fine tip blade . What are your thoughts on using the rotary blade ?

[lauralynneparker]

If I am cutting wool felt would it be better to use the deep cut blade?

[Littlesharky-hs]

My Cricut Explore II only had two options for felt

[vayes]

Good evening...
Norrine recommended you...
That is such a cute bunny....
I have a question about my cricut expression...I hadn't used it in quite a while. When I went to use it all I could get it to do is turn on... Someone said to press the on, lock and enlarge buttons at same time till rainbow came up... That happened but nothing else happened... Hopefully you can help me with what I'm doing wrong... Thank you

[AJ-ejmp]

To cut felt, would it help the cut better if I place transfer tape on the mat sticky side up and then the felt on top?

[janetstrezinski]

Hi Jennifer, never cut felt before so I m wondering why you don’t use the cutting wheel to cut the felt?
