THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR DOING THIS VIDEO!! I just got this cutter and I’m so new to all of this! You just saved me so much time! Now can you help me some more and do a video on the software on this machine? Thank you much again from Texas! God bless you! By Felicia!! 🥰🙏🏼💓
@@craftwithfelicia I will certainly appreciate them. I you have a new subscriber for sure. You are awesome! Kind regards and blessings from El Paso Texas. 🥰🙏🏼💜
10:39 we are 110% new with cutting machines and still haven't tried our new loklik because we cannot find anywhere if we need to remove the plastic from the mat or not... Would have been nice if that was mentioned in the sparse manual. But I guess you put the plastic sheet back on the mat after you're finished?
Great video. Thanks, so much. I did not get the pen, the sample sheet. Waiting until I settle in to my winter digs to really delve into this new hobby.
Thank you so much I just got my machine today and the manual was less than helpful! I’m looking forward to starting fresh tomorrow after watching this video. 😊
Thanks for this video. I am new to cutting machine. I bought this since this is in sale and my budget fits its price. 😅, I think for Basic cuts it does the Job Well and for a beginner like me it is useful for it's price. More tutorial videos please.
Hey there, cutting machine newbie! I'm thrilled to hear that the machine is doing the job well for your basic cuts. It's always a win when you find a budget-friendly option that gets the job done. More tutorial videos are coming your way, so stay tuned!
Thank you for making this video. It helped a lot. I do agree that the instruction manual is not great. I have one question and that is can you print with the machine or just cut with it?
It is functional, but there is a known issue with calibration. LOKLiK is working on a solution. We definitely gave it a good try. Here's our results - ruclips.net/video/KQlOuerVZsU/видео.htmlsi=DaUM0Nx9-Je1c5S2.
Hi and thank you for this video! You two are great! 😅 This was an enjoyable tutorial and I bought the LOKLIK crafter and have been happy with it. I am having an issue and want to know if you have encountered the same thing...I am unable to cut anything larger than 12 inches. I bought the HTVRONT 12 x 24 cutting mat. My design is 9 x 15 but when I click "make" it reduces the design to fit a 12 x 12 mat. Then I choose from drop downs for cutting pad and materials the 12 x 24 size but it doesn't revert to the size I made it. I'm on the 2.0 version of IdeaStudio and connected by USB. I have contacted their customer support team and so far we have emailed back and forth 6 times! 😮 They asked for a video which I made however their software will not allow attachments larger than 25MB total. Can you do a tutorial on cutting a design larger than 12 inches? For Windows and on 2.0 version? Thank you so much for how fantastic you both are!
The software is free and the company is making updates to it all the time so new features are getting added frequently. Design Space is more advanced since it’s been around longer but LOKLiKs giving them a run for their money. It takes some getting used to LOKLiKs software if you’re coming from Cricut though.
I don't know if Silhouette Studio can talk to it but I know Sure Cuts A Lot can. Check this video out - ruclips.net/video/YiASRT8EyNA/видео.htmlsi=BKt2fG2QbYEXi8IO
@craftwithfelicia I just went and bought me a silhouette portrait 3 last night about to see what it do but I've been using silhouette studioes for a year now so we good
Hi guys, looking at getting this for my girlfriend for Christmas. Can you import your own images into ideal studio or are you limited with their designs? Thanks.
Laser copy paper. I have found that when I print the calibration sheet on my laser printer, LOKLiK sometimes has a hard time reading the registration lines. I have had better success when I print it on my ink jet printer.
I need to know if this cutter will cut svg rhinestone templates? I have failed to get answer from loklik and 6 other creators. I want to take my business up a notch but rhinestones are a must.
I used Silhouette Studio Business Edition to create a rhinestone design and exported it as a svg file. That worked as expected. When I uploaded the image into LOKLiKs software, it brought it in very small. I tried adjusting it and could probably get it close but it’s not straightforward. It is possible but I’d have to do further testing to figure out sizing. When I spoke to LOKLiK at CES, I did have rhinestones on the list of enhancement ideas I shared with them. Don’t know if it will be incorporated, but they said the next big software release is scheduled June 2024. This video shows how I used Silhouette Studio to create a rhinestone design and cut it in Cricut - ruclips.net/video/TTNEWNcE3XM/видео.htmlsi=JT58bJ30sUayzVNt.
Yes you can! It cuts cardstock up to 100 lb I believe. We don't believe there is a scoring tool, but there are other scoring tools on the market. Video soon!
Where do I find the guild you showed for different vinyl? As a beginner I am scared to ise other vinyl with my loklik machine because I don't know the settings.
Anyone noticed the cutting Parameters are no longer accurate since updating the application? Circuit vinyl used to cut fine with 375 force but now it doesn't seem to cut through so requires a higher cutting force. Not sure if its just a issue I'm facing or if its for everyone
I haven't cut vinyl since the update so I'm not sure how to help. Try reaching out to their support - support@loklik.com. There's also a Facebook group that may be able to help - facebook.com/groups/6770205346369071/
Hi lm new to all this, but lve create some designs using procreate and want to now buy a cutting machine to create stickers ect, can l use my own designs with the LOKLiK or do l have to use there software to design? 🤔😊 Thankyou Claire
Interested in a device that could cut out playing cards out of 300GSM cardstock, do you think this one could do it? And if so, would I have to leave a spare inbetween each one?
It could definitely cut 300GSM perfectly. The hangup right now is getting proper alignment with Print and Cut, and only if you're not printing full bleed with a healthy margin on all sides. LOKLiK is working on this feverishly and they'll nail it soon.
@@craftwithfelicia uh o, wish I hadn't impulse bought it last night. My plan was to print some cards in a specific location via PDF then align the locations on the LOKlik app. Would this work, or is it going to just cut wildly off? Will have to replace with cricut maker 2 if so =/ Sorry brand new to this and need to know if I should return the LOKlik when it arrives
I have just bought this cutter and realised the mat is too short for the work I need to do (Around 20" long. Is there any means to cut in a sort of "Poster" mode off the roll?
According to the LOKLiK website you can use smart materials with the Crafter machine - www.loklik.com/app-help/detail?id=1684840145490071554. I haven’t tried it.
LOKLiK is new to the market compared to other cutting machines. Which one is best is subjective. I’m going to keep working with LOKLiK and see what all it can do. It’s got great potential. 🙂
Can you do a demo in how to use the text function using a cursive font. It won't let me weld letters together so cuts each letter overlapping the other
Thanks for the video - all I want is for cutting thicker card or even board and I create my own designs using Adobe illustrator - does anyone know if this machine will accept externally produced SVG files please? And how it it for cutting thicker card? I've been looking at the Maker 3 as that can cut think wood boards.

He speaks the truth. The fact is that the Cricut Joy Xtra can do everything the LOKLIk can do with the exception of the width (Xtra cuts up to 8.5" wide; LOKLiK cuts up to 12" wide). The price difference is very small between the two.

But I guess you put the plastic sheet back on the mat after you're finished?
Yes. Remove the plastic from the mat before using and put it back on the mat when you’re done cutting. It helps keep the mat clean.
This is actually a great question
Great video. Thanks, so much. I did not get the pen, the sample sheet. Waiting until I settle in to my winter digs to really delve into this new hobby.
Glad it was helpful! Let us know if you have questions once you get going. 🙂

You are so welcome!
Thank you for making this video. It helped a lot. I do agree that the instruction manual is not great. I have one question and that is can you print with the machine or just cut with it?
Just cut. To do print then cut you need a separate printer.
THANK YOU soooo much for doing this. Maybe it’s just me but I can’t understand the heavy Chinese accent on their videos
SAME girl!
You're welcome and I hear ya. :)
Same :)
great video! camera man has back up job as standup comedian if this business fails
Thanks and he’s always looking for the next opportunity. 🤣😂
Do I need this? No! Will I most likely order one? Yes 😂. Attempting not to! Thanks for the video, really informative.
Are we related? LOL I have that same conversation with myself all the time!! 😂
Does it have a print & cut feature?
You can do print then cut with this machine but the accuracy is a little off when it works. Waiting on feedback from the vendor for resolving this.
Thanks for sharing! It's very useful to me.
Glad it was helpful! 🙂
hi can you make a tutorial on how to use the loklik pen? thank you been watching all your tutorials
You’re welcome. I’ll do a video on using pens shortly
Thanks a bunch for this video it was great!👌🏼this will help us out a lot😅🤙🏼
Happy to help! Now go forth and create some RUCKUS!
Have you figured out Print and Cut yet? I gave up

Can u cut the likes of balsa wood on this be interesting to see and find out before I buy one
I tried cutting thin wood and it didn’t work.
Thank you for this intro. How does the software compare to design space? Is it a paid subscription?

What paper do you use for the calibration sheet? I printed it on regular A4 printing paper but it didn’t register the lines
Laser copy paper. I have found that when I print the calibration sheet on my laser printer, LOKLiK sometimes has a hard time reading the registration lines. I have had better success when I print it on my ink jet printer.

Do you need to calibrate before doing this or can you do this straight away?
You can cut vinyl straight away. You will need to calibrate if you’re making stickers.
@@craftwithfelicia thank you perfect
How would you cut faux leather with it please
I haven't tried yet but you would need to use the 60 degree blade.
Does it cut card stock Paper
Yes it does. Working on a video for that now. Stay tuned.
Can this cutter do matless and creasing?
I believe it can do matless, but I don't believe they have a scoring tool yet. I haven't tried "hacks" but I'll look into it.
Thanks that really helped me.
You're welcome! Glad it helped. 😊
I was wondering if you know how to arch the front on the software please thank you
Curving text isn’t available yet but we’ve asked LOKLiK for that feature.

Can I cut off the roll with this machine as I want to make car window stickers
You definitely can make car window stickers. I use permanent vinyl when I do that and it works great. 🙂
I was able to cut in the heft side you just have to tell the cutter to align on the left 😅😂
So much to learn still. Thanks

If you haven’t bought it, PLEASE DON’T!! It’s a piece of garbage! The software doesn’t work and please save yourself the aggravation!!😩😤
LOKLiK is new to the market in the cutting machine arena. Yes, there software is a little clunky but they are releasing updates regularly and some of those recent updates are showing promise. I understand the frustration but I’m holding on and hoping this really takes off.
Why the ♂ is speaking is so negative and so ironic? Not many of us can buy cricut etc you know
He speaks the truth. The fact is that the Cricut Joy Xtra can do everything the LOKLIk can do with the exception of the width (Xtra cuts up to 8.5" wide; LOKLiK cuts up to 12" wide). The price difference is very small between the two.
Does the cutter only come with the American style plug
Yes.
