    Thanks for saying you avoided vinyl for the first 6 months you owned your first Cricut. I am coming up on my 6 month anniversary and I am almost ready to try to use vinyl for the first time. You are an encouraging, reliable source of information. I turn to your videos often.

    Ok so I’m an aircraft mechanic, a very good one at that. I literally troubleshoot complicated systems everyday and I can’t believe I never thought to just put the label inside the roll! 🤦🏻‍♀️ I have struggled with this since I got my Cricut 😂. I don’t think it’s lazy, it’s actually the simplest but most genius way! Thank you! I’m so embarrassed 😂

    After several months of trying to talk myself into buying a Cricut I finally decided to get one. A couple days after I ordered it this video showed up in my feed. Kind of scary how the cosmos knows just what you need. It’s always a little daunting trying new equipment so I really appreciate all of your tips. I immediately subscribed to your channel and look forward to learning more. Thank-you!

    Hello from Australis. I've been watching your videos for a few years now, so I knew most of the hacks. But I liked the idea of using an offset as a weeding box for various shapes and the reverse weeding using transfer tape for very small designs. Looking forward to the Merry Maker event.

    As always, thank you Jennifer for all you do. Fairly new Cricut-er here. My first take aways - putting the label inside of the vinyl when storing. My second one was, #6 supporting the mat in the back of the machine, I never thought of that. I also loved Tricia's tips 👏🏽. Especially the one about not letting your spouse now how much you pay for supplies LOL I'm happy I could catch the replay,

Thank you for all your hard work. Its hard to get so lost in needing everything and than not even doing a project cause you dont have the exact materials. I struggle more with cardstock than vinyl personally, just for me it is so much more confusing on cardstock but I keep trying.

    I just watched the hack on how to duplicate something using Alt (windows) and then clicking on it until the + comes up on the pointer! I use duplicate ALL the time! I then either have to use the align key or try really hard to align by eye sight. I have copied down a number of your hacks, even though you said you have a link at the end to a list of them. I do this if I want to remember some steps or ideas that the hack gives me -- I may make this one my the screen background on my windows screen (probably not 🙂). I have been using the cricut explore air 2 for probably more than a year and though I have seen that little box by Blank Canvas - I never really noticed it or was curious about it. The ability to change the color of the background is a cool feature. Anyway this is a long post, but I thought that I would give details as I LOVE this information. The rest is good too - most I already know. THX!

    I had the original Cricut Explore that came out in 2014 until about 2 years ago. I loved that machine. I purchased a Cricut Explore Air 2 and that thing only lasted about 1.5 years. The rollers stopped working on it so I bought another one in January of this year. Hoping it continues to work for many years to come. Any thoughts on how to get those rollers working again? It won’t feed the mat through. It will load it, then it just stays in the same place.

    Hi Jennifer, I Love your videos, and because of you, I got my first Cricut Maker 3. I recently went to use my Maker 3 after a year of not using it and had a horrible experience with it. My mats were getting stuck, and cuts were off. I then noticed that my rollers were all messed up. Can you tell me where I can get better replacement rubber rollers from? It will greatly help me if I can replace the damaged ones.

    when I have non Cricut vinyl I use a hair tie from the Dollar Tree to put around it so it doesn't unroll and I also clip the label that tells me what kind it is and put it under the hair tie then I always know what kind it is
