Hey Courtney I think you need a Gladwrap do-over. You need PRESS N SEAL not what you used at all. Completely different product. Love all your productions. Big smiles!
Great video. Loved the parchment paper hack and the squeegee removal trick. For the plastic wrap... You need PRESS n SEAL by Glad. It is sticky on one side. For the Powder... Corn Starch works and there's no powder smell. I wonder if the transfer tape is too sticky for the felt or caused a problem with the auto pressure since it changed the thickness. Thanks Courtney

Hi Courtney, the minute you talked about using baby powder to show the lines I thought oh no here is trouble lol. I suggest try using a heat gun instead, simply lightly heat the vinyl making sure you don't stay in one spot , What this does is slighly seperates the vinyl. This is perfect for white vinyl as the cuts can be hard to see. I learned this from someone that has been working with vinyl for a very long time ( not in the craft world but professional vinyl printing/cutting). I have learned a lot from him and I use those methods in my crafting side which has been a blessing.
Loved the show as always Courtney! Liked the parchment and squeegee trick best. Might use cornstarch instead of baby powder for no scent and as someone else mentioned brush the powder off surface before weeding. Hope you do more hacks on another segment, always learning!
Coutney, the baby powder: I would venture a guess that you could have wiped the majority of it off with a cloth. The powder should remain, if you work with care, sunk into the valley of the lines. Your contrast would be higher too. Hate baby powder, try crushed chalk, like they use in gymnastics. You rock! Kicks and giggles always.
Use a quilter's chalk pounce that way you don't get powder over everything. They are usually filled with corn starch. This hack works best in conjunction with a light box. Use freezer paper when cutting felt. Iron the waxy side to the felt. Then put the paper side down on your mat. Freezer paper peels off the felt without distorting the cut shape and no straggly bits! You can cut knit and delicate fabrics by sandwiching them between 2 layers of freezer paper, iron really flat. I recommend cutting minky this way...no fuzz all in your machine!
I had problems with felt stretching and distorting (the piece I cut) when removing from the mat and it leaves a lot of residue-I don’t want to have to clean the mat during a single project
glad press and seal would probably work better than the cling seal, it has a sticky side to it. The baby powder hack may work better if you wiped off the excess powder with microfiber cloth. I've never tried any of these just an idea
I'll bet it was supposed to be "Press n Seal", which IS sticky to other things. I believe it is also made by Glad. Lots of crafters use it for a variety of things. Works great for holding fabric out of the embroidery field, such as when embroidering a t shirt or other bulky object that needs corralled..
I like the parchment and squeeze hack but i’m with you on the other two hacks…i never knew anyone who did not like the smell of baby powder…but that was a waste of powder hack anyway….

I’m thinking it should’ve been Press N Seal. But very much enjoyed the show! Thanks
Yes, that's exactly what she should have been using. Press n Seal.
Yes, I agree. Still don’t know if it will work but, maybe.

Found you accidentally at BU and love your videos. Also excited you use scan n cut, as I'm a newbie to that machine. I live in Ft. Worth, TX
Love your videos...I'm a newbie do I'm learning from these...thank you😊
Love the bloopers!

Love the parchment paper hack ! It’s press n seal for the other hack!

When you use the powder over you cut out wipe off the extra powder from the suffers, the you won't have any problems. Love your video's.
Thanks Courtney.

Can you see if you can make nail stamping plates on your machine? I’m kind of curious.

Use corn starch and wipe all of the excess off first
I missed the Live, but wanted to let you know, you need Glad PRESS and SEAL.
The Press N Seal is a completely different product. It works in a pinch but not as well as the transfer product.
Where are the links for classes?
There are 2 types of glad wrap -one is cling wrap, the other press and seal-you need to use the press and seal
What brand of vinyl are you using??
Will scan n cut cut out stickers without a black line? If so, how?

when you cut the felt I didn’t see you change the cut to Full cut I think it was on kiss cut.
If you hate the smell of the baby talc you could use corn starch
Courtney, I believe they mean press and seal which one side is sticky.
my mat destroyed my cut out too sticky
When doing the transfer tape, felt trick you left half cut on!!! So might be why it didn't cut all the way through!!!
Press and Seal not Saran Wrap may/e
Press and seal not cling. I have used it with success
You’re supposed to rub off all the baby powder before you weed just leaving it in the cut lines.
Parchment paper
It should have been press n seal.
“Cling Free” is sticky and might work better than the brand you used.
Not glad cling free, glad press and seal - has a sticky side. I use it to transfer card stock pieces
