Paper:
Use for text-weight papers such as common computer paper.
Vinyl:
Use for home décor vinyl. Produces a kiss cut. (A kiss cut is when the blade just cuts the top layer
of material and leaves the backing sheet uncut. This makes it easier to weed out leftover pieces after
the cut, and then use transfer tape to apply.)
Iron-on:
Use for heat transfer vinyl. Produces a kiss cut. (A kiss cut is when the blade just cuts the top
layer of material and leaves the backing sheet uncut.)
Light Cardstock:
Use for paper rated at 60 – 65 lb. weights, a little heavier than text-weight papers
often found in patterned, printed or decorative papers.
Cardstock:
Use for paper rated at 80 – 90 lb. weights, such as playing cards or most solid-colored
crafting papers.
Fabric:
Use for light-weight cotton or cotton/polyester fabrics which have been backed with an iron-on
adhesive interfacing. (Fabric backing required to cut fabrics.)
Fabric +:
Use for mid-weight fabrics which have been backed with an iron-on adhesive interfacing. The
setting will perform a multi-cut, meaning it will cut twice along the same lines. (Fabric backing
required to cut fabrics.)
Poster board:
Use for heavier materials such as display board used for signs or school projects.
Poster board +:
Use for heavier display boards. The setting will perform a multi-cut, meaning it will
cut twice along the same lines.
Tip:
For an optimal cutting experience, we recommend using the Cricut
thicker materials such as heavy fabric, poster board, chipboard, magnet board, and leather. The Deep
Cut Blade can cut most materials up to 2mm in thickness using the multi-cut feature.
