You definitely are my favorite person to watch! It's a lot of information but much needed. My daughter and I are trying to learn how to use the circuits . There is so much to learn 😊
Of all the creators I could have clicked on for newbies, I found you and I'm so happy!! Thank you for your time and sharing all your knowledge with the world.
Thank you for explaining in a way that is keeping me calm as i learn about the Maker 3 and what it can do and what i will be able to do eventually. looking forward to part 3.
I was so overwhelmed by the cricut maker that I left it in the box for almost a year. Thank you so much. I feel like I can conquer this machine and have lots of fun. Thank you again.
I just received my Cricut Maker 3. Thank you so much for sharing your awesome valuable knowledge. You are a Beautiful Blessing. Thank you!!! Thank you for being so real and truthful!!
I am sitting here with my work book for this lesson and cannot believe I'm still learning so much. Thank you . I knew I had a lot to learn, just so amazed at just how much I needed .
Love these videos, and I'm in Michigan, too! I've had an Explore Air 2 for many years, but never used it and lost all the supplies somehow. I bought the Maker 3 today to use in my wedding stationery business. I wish I had your videos when I bought the other one seven years ago!
Happy to help! Congratulations on your new machine! We have a free series of online classes that show you how to set up and begin creating with your machine as a new Cricut owner! Here's the link to sign up: makeracademy.com/cricutkickoff
Absolutely love watching your videos .This is the second one i'm watching and cant wait to watch the rest of them to learn. Really helping me to get started... Thank you so much
Thank you very much Jennifer for your quick response. I will contact them. Thanks again for all your tips and tricks. you make me feel like I can do anything with my Cricuts.
I am New to Cricut Maker 3. Love the information you have shared. How do I obtain your Handbook? This would be so helpful. Thank you for the easy explanation of my new journey into Cricut Maker.
Thank you, Jennifer! I learned so much and continue to learn from you. I did not succeed using the scoring wheel. It never scored. Still using the stylus. I tried multiple times with the wheel...No success. No idea what I'm doing wrong!
I am a beginner. I will be getting a used machine on Saturday. Not sure what actually what all I'm getting all I know is I am getting the machine and 10 cartridges. I am excited. So I am just finding out what I need to go with it. So I will need help.
Fun fact. You want to keep those shiny plates with the numbers and the blank one on the other side clean and smudge free. Those plates are how the sensor tells the difference between the tips and tools. Unfortunately my cricut arrived with a broken sensor and cricut had to send a replacement under warranty but cleaning those plates were on the trouble shooting list
I gave my wife a Cricut Maker 3 for Christmas in 2021 and it has yet to be used. So I started looking for how-to videos and ran across yours. You make it seem so easy to start using the Cricut. I'm sending her links to them so she can get going. Can two people have separate accounts and share one Cricut? Now that I've watched your videos I want to try it out myself.😁 Thank you!
Jennifer & Crew Thank you very much for your instruction and honest review of products. Question about the vinyl cling, do you know of a printable vinyl cling?
I just kept the other blades in the plastic. Push the top down like a pen top and push the tool into the blade and release the top. Turn the top to lock it into place.
ok... when inserting the fine point blade that comes with the machine, it has a rounded side and cutting side. Does it have to be facing a certain direction.. to the back or the front?
Great video thank you Jennifer for your dedication to help us with our new cricuts,also could you tell more about the file for the 3 d blade holder as to where I can find it as I looked on your blog but unable to find thanks
when I tried to weed my test cut of the word CRICUT... I went super slow but the backing was not pulling off without ripping the letters. The surrounding edge did not cut through either and tore the vinyl
Every time the machine is used I clean it. I also will clean it between cuts for glitter projects and card stock or anything that collects debris on the blade.
You are a great teacher! I made your Butterfly box and was wondering, from pictures, what the colors would actually look like made up. Well, It was absolutely stunning! Hoping you continue to share your many talents. Cricut should reproduce your storage container and pay you a royalty on the sales. It's a good one! Last but not least, I would love to see your camera set up. I teach cooking and close ups and being able to zoom in and out makes the video much more interesting. I am able to edit/manipulate with Adobe Premiere Elements, but it appears you have a much better set up! Thanks for all you do! Sincerely, Diane
Hi there Jennifer. I just received a cricut maker for Christmas. I have noticed that a user manual did not come with it. Do you know how or where I can get one. Just now starting to watch your beginner videos. Thank you . :)
It does not come with a manual. All of the information can be found on cricut.com. I do sell a helpful book with diagrams if you are interested cricutcoach.com
I have a cricut maker. Can I use the pens that are made for the explorer ? Thanks for your great videos, soo helpful, I got mine for Christmas. Also I’m in Tasmania can use your code?

The Maker comes with the fine point blade. Any other blade is a separate purchase. For most all of the crafts you will use the fine point blade so there is no need to go out and buy other blades unless there is a specific project you need it for. jennifermaker.com/cricut-blades-cutting-tips/
That is your choice. If you choose the SVG with score lines you will need to change them from cut to score and attach them in Design Space. jennifermaker.com/cricut-scoring-tools-tips/
My set came with calligraphy pens. I've never used them and am wondering if there's specific fonts or if they have to be used differently than regular pens.
I purchased a book you offered and then another book on tips and tricks but I do not see how to download or retrieve the books. Would you help me. Purchased Dec. 26th. Gail Davis

Thank you so much for your video. I bought the Maker 3 for my retirement gift. Where did you get your tool organizer?
Omg I love you ❤
I'm curious to know if we could use a fine spray of repositionable adhesive to make the mat stickier again??
I replace my mats after they've totally lost their stickiness. 😊🌻
You’re amazing
Aww, thanks so much. ❤️

I hope they are giving you a well earned commission!❤ I absolutely went and bought a MAKER3 could not be happier!🥰👍
The list of materials you use for each project on your website is SO HELPFUL!❤

I love my cricket maker and I love
Me too and thank you for watching! 💗
Jennifer & Crew Thank you very much for your instruction and honest review of products. Question about the vinyl cling, do you know of a printable vinyl cling?
I've seen some on Amazon before 💗
Any tips on how to keep the other tips on the true control knife that swaps out to different tips? Also how do you change the tips?
I just kept the other blades in the plastic. Push the top down like a pen top and push the tool into the blade and release the top. Turn the top to lock it into place.

Here it is. jennifermaker.com/3dtoolholder/
Cricut needs to do wider 2.0 pens for those of us who journal or title onto our scrap pages. The ultra fines get blurry and need a lot of re-work
I don't understand transfer tape , can you explain how it is used
Do you sell the book
I have had trouble with some of my iron vinyl sticking to my cutting mat.
when I tried to weed my test cut of the word CRICUT... I went super slow but the backing was not pulling off without ripping the letters.
The surrounding edge did not cut through either and tore the vinyl
Thank you for making the videos, it really help. Can i cut felt fabric with this blade?
You can use the Rotary blade with the Maker and Maker 3 or the bonded fabric blade with the Explore and Explore 3🥰
Would like to get the magnifying glasses. Where.
You can find them on my affiliate link on Amazon. www.amazon.com/shop/jennifer.maker
excited to know more!
how often do u clean your blade? thanks
Every time the machine is used I clean it. I also will clean it between cuts for glitter projects and card stock or anything that collects debris on the blade.
Do you still have the 3d print file for your tool holder? I couldn’t find it on your site.

What type of vinyl can you use on clear vinyl and cloth vinyl?

What’s your opinion on aftermarket cutting/scoring tools and “EasyPress”?
You can ask this in the group. I use Cricut brand. facebook.com/groups/cricutcraftersandmakers/
Do you have a kick off handbook for the explore air 2??
The Cricut kickoff handbook is for all of the machines. I do have the Playbook. cricutcoach.com

I have an older Cricut that use Cartridges, what do i need to do to use it with Design Space or other Software?
Your machine has to be an original Explore or newer in order to use Design Space.🥰
I have a cricut maker. Can I use the pens that are made for the explorer ? Thanks for your great videos, soo helpful, I got mine for Christmas. Also I’m in Tasmania can use your code?
Yes, they are the same size. My coupon only works in US and Canada.

What would be best paper for cutting and making micarta please
I would have to do some research on that. I had to look it up! 😃 Micarta is a brand name for composites of linen, canvas, paper, fiberglass, carbon fiber, or other fabric in a thermosetting plastic.
Does the blades come as a kit ?
The Maker comes with the fine point blade. Any other blade is a separate purchase. For most all of the crafts you will use the fine point blade so there is no need to go out and buy other blades unless there is a specific project you need it for. jennifermaker.com/cricut-blades-cutting-tips/
Thinking of buying Cricut maker 3, I have a lot of 12" wide vinyl rolls will I be able to use with CM 3
Wonderful!
@@JenniferMaker can I use my 12" rolls instead of 13" without matt?
If I have a scoring stylus do I choose designs with or without scoring?
That is your choice. If you choose the SVG with score lines you will need to change them from cut to score and attach them in Design Space. jennifermaker.com/cricut-scoring-tools-tips/
❤
My set came with calligraphy pens. I've never used them and am wondering if there's specific fonts or if they have to be used differently than regular pens.
You can use these pens on projects with Calligraphy of handwritten fonts from Cricut Design Space.
only comes with the fine blade

My scoring pen keeps popping out of clamp A on my maker why!!??
Make sure it snaps in. If not you may want to contact Cricut.
I recommend separating the videos into smaller bit sizes per machine. Instead of one or two hour long videos, make the videos by machine.
