What Setting Do You Cut StripFlock on Cricut?

StripFlock is a type of heat transfer vinyl that is used with a Cricut cutting machine to create custom designs on fabric. It has a raised, textured feel that gives it a unique look and helps make your designs stand out. But how do you set up the settings for cutting StripFlock with your Cricut machine?

The first step to setting up your Cricut for cutting StripFlock is to select the right material in the software. In Design Space, select “Heat Transfer Vinyl” as the material type.

You will then need to select “StripFlock” as the specific material. This will ensure that you have the correct settings for cutting the material.

Once you have selected the right material, you will need to adjust some of the settings on your Cricut machine. There are three main settings that you’ll need to adjust: blade depth, cut pressure and speed.

For StripFlock, it’s best to use a standard blade and set it at a depth of 4 (this can vary depending on your machine). The pressure should be set at medium and the speed should be set at about 200mm/s (this may also vary depending on your machine).

It’s also important to remember that StripFlock is thicker than other types of heat transfer vinyl, so it may require multiple passes when being cut by your machine. To do this, simply set the number of passes in Design Space to two or three (depending on how thick your design is). This will ensure that all parts of your design are properly cut.

Conclusion: Setting up your Cricut for cutting StripFlock takes a few steps but is relatively easy once you know what settings to use. You’ll need to select “Heat Transfer Vinyl” as the material type in Design Space and then adjust the blade depth, cut pressure and speed accordingly. It’s also important to remember that StripFlock is thicker than other types of heat transfer vinyl, so you may need multiple passes when cutting this material with your machine.
