      Removable vinyl offers versatility and easy removal, making it ideal for temporary projects. On the other hand, permanent vinyl ensures durability and longevity, making it a great choice for long-lasting decals that can withstand the elements and washing ❤️

    Bluetooth is a pain. It works for my Joy, but the Design Space can't find my Explore 3, even though it shows the name of it in the bar. I've tried 4 times. After I heard you say that you would normally restart you computer when you had a Bluetooth failure I did that and it worked.

    Hello there! I have just gone through this video and set up my new Cricut Explore 3 that I received for Christmas. I am a previous Cricut user (using an old expression for over 10 years). This is the first time with any connectivity. First question I have is when using cardstock (regular 65# or 110#), do I use a mat? Will the mats I have from the expression days work in this new machine? My next question is about downloading cut files/images to cut. There may be a video for that as well or it may be in the handbook that's printing! :) I will keep searching and hopefully find the answer on my own, but thought I'd as in the meantime! Thanks so much for the video! I followed along perfectly and connected both my iMac and my iPhone!

    • @JenniferMaker

    I don't uderstand my Cricutmaker 3. The cutting width on the machine is 13 inches but all my vinyl is in 12 inches. I guess I didn't realiize the viny was sold in 12 inches. Now I'm stuck with a lot of vinyl I can only use with a mat. All the vinyl on Amazon is the 12" kind.

    Shopping and deciding on a new machine - I have the joy which I love (my intro) and it got me hooked. Was going to get an Air 2 - other than Smart materials does the Explorer 3 do anything more? (I do not care about cutting fabric - I'm a pretty basic stuff gal.). And I HATE HATE smart materials (ok EZ to weed) from using my Joy. So not interested at all in that. Compared two the Air 2 what would be the advantage of the Maker? Not maker 3 - I don't need all that for sure. Posting on FB gets me so many different personal opinions, I just want the facts about the machines and comparison of them. Thank you. Your videos and tutorials and free things are FABULOUS!!! And as one teacher to another (I lead Bible study, taught school, teach dog obedience and give seminars, taught/teach spinning and weaving and pysanky writing) you are a very good teacher. You don't take it for granted that we "got" it or already know it. Your demo are awesome (wouldn't be doing anything in DS w/o your video - using iPad for most part.)
