What fabrics can the Cricut Maker Cut?

The Cricut Maker is different than any other cutting machine out there. With the adaptive tool system, you can cut so many different types of materials and fabric. Today I am going to focus on my favorite tool, the rotary cutter. You can read a more detailed post on my blog here:

I went through my fabric stash and grabbed ten different types of fabric that I have not cut on the Maker yet. I have cut woven fabrics tons of times so I already know it can cut through that flawlessly. Here I am going to cut these 10 fabrics using the Rotary blade that is included with the Cricut Maker.
Canvas
Bottom Weight (with slight stretch)
Scuba knit
Seersucker
Minky
Stretch Velvet
Rayon
Thin textured knit
Super thick textured knit
seaweed sequins

The Maker did an excellent job at cutting every single one of these substrates. I was really nervous about the thick knit, it felt stuffed (which it was) and I didnt know if the thickness would overwhelm the small blade. It cut through it like a warm knife through butter.

I also show you how to change the rotary blade using the replacement kits that you can get on cricut's website. These blade replacement kits were so well thought out when designed. You never once have to touch the rotary blade, great for those that are worried about replacing a small blade like that.

I was always wondering if it could cut minky... That stuff you used had a super high pile compared to what I was intending on cutting :D Might have to start pricing one soon! Thank you for posting!

Thank you so much. I now know that my machine works well. The problem seems to be with the project (pdf converted in svg).

How do you clean the mat? The minky and velveteen left messes?

How do you cut through more then one layer at once?

Can you cut spandex Nylon fabric? Like bikini fabric?

[thatshortykaren]

can you use velour paper for the Cricut?

[alixmoses]

Would this cut batting? Like an 80/20 or an all natural cotton?

But you're not telling us some of the settings we need (such as pressure).
